I am with this guy. It's not NASL, it's the players. EU had the exact same rules and none of these issues, but NA has players signing up who didn't even bother to coins to 200. It shows how seriously some of them take this.

EU wildcard yet to come.


Exactly. If NASL cannot screen the players then it's their fault.

I don't know why you quote me with an "exactly". What you write is completely unrelated to my post. I just said, that EU was wildcard was not played yet.


Because I agreed that the EU Wildcard is yet to come so we can't cast judgements on the format yet. I then made a point in in the same post afterwards to avoid double posting.

Thanks for agreeing on a fact

I remember though seeing a few Koreans on the EU ladder who stopped before the new season at 200 wins and never played a game more.

I bet they had a system to confirm, but assumed that all the people signing up would have 200 wins, because counting to 200 is easy. It's a mistake, but I can see why they did it. I'm sure it will never happen again.

NASL should have checked or had a system in place to check. But the players are also to blame for not bothering to read/follow the rules

I think some players are trying to be smart and play knowing they don't meet the requirements. One way or another, NASL should check the players

Omg, I just had an epiphany.
What if, the 2.1 patch actually contains a button, that has a "Check if account is eligible for WCS", or something shiny like it.
Nah, the technology isn't there yet.

That link also provides the interesting:

Players with 200 wins on the region’s host ladder (“Americas” server for WCS America and “Europe” server for WCS Europe) in this and the past season (cumulative between the two Seasons) will be eligible to compete in Ladder Wildcard Qualifiers for all remaining spots without meeting any residency or citizenship requirements.

So it is cumulative 200 wins between the 2 seasons.

That's even worse! If NA 'Pros' cannot reach that level then I have no idea if there even is a scene in NA.

And I don't normally shit on NA players, but that is some nonsense. You just had to play win games of sc2, it was you only job.

I think people are misunderstanding what's going on here. The 200 win rule is only applicable for the Wildcard Qualifier, according to the above link, as a way to make it more difficult for non NA players to join.

We do not need computers to do this. Pro players and NASL can count to 200.
