If these players didn't meet the requirements today, how are they going to meet them in a week? Roughly 200 wins in a week? Have fun with that. Going to be so much "circumvention" and cheese. May as well just forgo having rules this qualifier.
they changed it to be added between current and last season, even though the admins said otherwise at the start of the tournament.

This exactly. I hope they find a reward for the 21 guys who showed up ready to play. Give them a bye or two, maybe make sure Hitman and sWs can't play Bomber and Check for as long as possible. I can't believe they didn't just go ahead and play the qualifier after making these guys wait.

This situation just shows how amateur the NA scene is, (not all) players doesn't know the rules of the tournament they are attending, teams not giving proper support to players, and tournament organizers cant effectively put in practice their own rules I can not agree more, I thought the same when I read the tweet from catz: Tweet: Ladder WildCard qualifier's bracket's so bad (and Short), seems like not many people knew about it/signed up. #WCSNA They are calling themself pros and forget to mark the most important qualifiers in their calendars? Just a service link: Qualifier Dates 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. This link doesn't say it's combined; http://nasl.tv/News/Article/20131221wcs-america-2014-season-1-qualifier-information"The Ladder Qualifier is available for players who are Masters or higher on the North American server with at least 200 wins in the current or previous season."
I'd trust the Blizzard specific site over the NASL site.

Yes, it's ridiculous. The players that were able to play today should have a HUGE advantage next week.

No. NASL is a good tournament organiser, except at the moment apparently. There is no viable alternative save for maybe MLG or a completely new part, and neither option seems very reasonable or very attractive at the moment.

I think we can say with reasonable certainty that Bomber will have a lot more trouble reading an English rulebook than an NA progamer. Whether or not the rulebook was translated for Bomber in full is another thing, but as far as I know Bomber's English is far from perfect and the wording in the rulebook was pretty complicated relative to the level of English I've seen from him.
Unless there's a handbook readily available in Korean?

It's really sad how the once blooming NA scene has more or less decomposed in front of our eyes the last few years.

Well, he probably could, but the point was he's not even a NA player and he managed to figure out what he has to do.

But you forget that Bomber underwent Asian education, where all emphasis is put into writing and only little, if at all, is put into speaking. I think he definitely would be able to understand the rulebook, albeit with a little help of an online dictionary.

It's just hilarious because Blizzard outlined the rules plain and simple in their WCS 2014 F.A.Q.:
Q. How does the Ladder Wildcard qualifier work?
Players must be ranked in master league and have at least 200 ladder wins on the home region ladder (American server for WCS America, Europe server for WCS Europe) in the season leading up to the ladder wildcard deadline. Players must use their registered ladder account that includes a name similar to their official player handle (no barcodes or smurfs). Specific details about all qualifier formats, deadlines, and signup pages will be released by NASL and ESL.
Reading: how does it work?

Yep. I was checking wcs.battle.net every day before any info was out on WCS 2014. Finally, they came out with this article http://wcs.battle.net/sc2/en/articles/full-season-1-qualifier-dates-for-wcs-2014 much too late and it originally didn't even have links to register. Even several days after NASL had opened up registration, there still wasn't a link. The article stated that the article would be updated as soon as more info was available so it's giving me the impression that it's the most reliable place for information. I found out from some helpful fans on twitter about the qualifier and I promptly sent an email to esportsteam@blizzard.com telling them they need to update their page. And even when they updated it with a link to registration, they didn't update the fact that there are three qualifiers on three separate days. I couldn't play the qualifier on January 4 and as far as I knew, that was the only one. Why, on January 6, would I click the link to register for a qualifier that was on January 4? That'd be the only way I'd see that there are two more qualifiers on January 9 and 11. Finally now the article is updated with those dates as well, but too late again.
It is ridiculous in the first place that WCS's site isn't the best place for finding information on WCS. It should be. But if they want to let the community handle communicating information about WCS, then the WCS site certainly shouldn't pretend to be a good source of information on WCS. They gave the impression that they'd provide all the info I need on qualifiers and I would have missed them all if they were the only resource I used.

It's entirely possible that Bomber may have had someone just translate the rulebook for him. But that means he found someone who could translate the handbook, read or listened to the translated version, understood what was expected and made sure to comply with the rules. Is that hard for a guy like Bomber? Very likely not. You know what's even easier? Being a fucking native english speaker and just reading the damn thing yourself.
This is like a pro football player running onto the field and grabbing the ball with his hands. How hard can it be? Embarrassing.

So do all those players that were DQ`d now have an extra week to get their 200 ladder wins? It seems like that's the plan so they have more than 21 people in the qualifiers And that's just complete BS. The few who did read the rules and got 200 wins in time should be rewarded, don't give the lazy, uninformed ones another chance. Those guys have to grow up and become a pro at some point. Stop feeding them with a spoon. On January 07 2014 08:46 Dodgin wrote:
Fucking Bomber managed to figure out that he needed 200 wins on NA, and he got them. But apparently players that can actually read the English player handbook couldn't do it. Too busy crying about Protoss or the new maps on Reddit I guess. Honestly, this. All of this fuckery would've probably been avoided if hopeful participants gave enough of a shit to read the rules. Thought I'm still incredibly disappointed in the NASL crew for not communicating anything with anybody which just wasted three hours of our time and more importantly the time of the progamers involved. Woah, woah, woah... how about you calm down and take a deep breath. maybe even a few deep breaths. Are you calm now? Good. Then I have to ask you: Why the hell would you ever think that Bomber cannot actually read the English player handbook, Dodgin? I think we can say with reasonable certainty that Bomber will have a lot more trouble reading an English rulebook than an NA progamer. Whether or not the rulebook was translated for Bomber in full is another thing, but as far as I know Bomber's English is far from perfect and the wording in the rulebook was pretty complicated relative to the level of English I've seen from him. Unless there's a handbook readily available in Korean? But you forget that Bomber undergoes Asian education, where all emphasis is put into writing and only little, if at all, is put into speaking. I think he definitely would be able to understand the rulebook, albeit with a little help of an online dictionary. well if an american "pro" can't read it in its native language there is a big problem concerning him.
Who says the remaining NA players can't read the rulebook?
They either decided to not sign up or they weren't able to get 200 wins or they didn't know it happened.
