You can call United Airlines (or probably their webpage) and ask for this flight to buy it.



ESL NA studio is in Burbank iirc, so I think LAX would be the correct destination (I'm not frmo cali please don't hurt me)? Iono where Major lives tho

Wow this thread is sinking real fast.
This WCS AM is not hard region locked, it makes no sense to provide as much travel subsidies for AM players than foreigners.

I read some interviews about how some Chinese pro are paying their own money to the team so that they can be a progamer and let the team stay afloat.
I honestly wish some pros can give more respect and appreciation to their career

Ha! Pretty sure you know "jack shit" about Genghis Khan then.

Not exactly intended to be a historically accurate representation. Point was that Major has a history of being a bit of a bull in the china shop. Feel free not to expand on your rather opaque remark.

TBH bull in a china shop is not accurate, they don't actually break stuff.

I confess to having no first hand experience with the matter. Though I did witness what occurs when a rather large and rather horny labrador catches sight of a cute german shepherd in a glass and china-ware shop. Perhaps that would have been a better analogy.

Hahaha oh wow so you can even fly directly to the fucking regional airport for less, don't even have to use LAX as a hub.

If it wasn't for teams pushing hard for travel allowance this year Major would have had to pay every cent of that by himself.

Fact of the matter is where you're travelling from matters on how much your travel allowance is, you should be happy to even be getting a travel allowance. Imagine qualifying all 3 seasons, you'd be paying $1500 or more coming from Mexico.


Thank you, I was about to show this if nobody else did. Some people are not very good at flying cheap airfare.

I think Major is venting over a non-issue.

$500 is not enough for a round trip depending on where you live. Right now if I grab a flight from Oakland, California to LA via Expedia.com and give myself two months in advance it comes out to $182 round-trip. That's in the same state, maybe a 30-45 minute flight in total. The only thing that makes up for this is that a Ro16 finish is a guaranteed $3000. Should Blizzard factor in these costs into the prize money? Well, that's another debate.

Cover the cost. Don't do a reimbursement-model so that you (Blizzard) have complete control over the situation and pricing and then send MajOr (despite being rude as hell about it) to WCS America.


I don't think you understand how flights work. Oakland to LA costing $182 has no bearing at all on the cost of other flights, it's not a miles per $ system. As has already been proven in this thread, flights from Mexico City to LAX cost less than $400 round trip



I stand corrected. I was certainly under the impression it was dependent on distance.

Blizzard can never please everyone and people will always find something to complain about sigh...

$500 seems like a fine amount for Blizz to give and I can't complain about giving the Non- NA players more because that's how much more their plane tickets will be.... The soft region lock was cool for giving the NA players more exposure, but of course we still want some koreans and europeans to be in the tournament to help raise and make the skill set more diverse.

Sorry, but this just sucks by blizzard...
you cant just say all NA players get 500 and all non NA get 1k - thats unprofessional

I am sure there are places in NA where it costs more than 500 to go to LA...


In about a week I am flying clear across the country from SF to New York, the plane ticket cost around $360

I was just starting to like MajOr more and this reminds me why I don't pay much attention to him... GL Juan, hope to see you playing in WCS anyway

I'm pretty sure MacSed or Courage would be happy to take his spot that he doesn't want, especially for the latter whose team is in dire need of exposure for a new sponsor.

I mean this as a compliment, but does Major remind anyone else of Cartman from Southpark? I had to get this out there. Also, despite the stereotype that everyone in Mexico lives in Mexico City, this may not be the case.
why?

I'm pretty sure $378 doesn't include taxes, after tax should be around $500 give or take. Guess Major needs to find better deals before forfeiting, then again I don't think twittering a forfeit is actually a forfeit?

Blizzard should stop giving 1k to Koreans immediately. Why would you subsidize players ruining your own tournament?


Because they are not ruining it. It's only the community who thinks that WCS AM should feature North American players only. Blizzard never ever intended for that to be the case and they only implemented a partial region lock because the community kept bitching. WCS AM is supposed to deliver regular Starcraft content at a good time for the North American region. That's it. That's what WCS is supposed to do. Provide fans in each region with content to watch at a good time slot.

That being said, there is probably a really good reason why they decided to change the way they cover expenses. Major should stop being a little bitch, forfeiting this over not wanting to pay some cash probably won't help him. I really appreciate his dedication and his desire (or at least the desire he used to have) to play on a Korean team, but I figured someone coming from the really small foreign BW scene would show more appreciation for Blizzard not only acknowledging eSports (that used to be way different with developers a few years ago) but also running their own tournament and even paying for travel cost. I guess he should be mad at himself for getting thrown out of so many teams, otherwise he'd have someone to pay for his travel.

WTF is Blizzard trying to pull now. The fact that they aren't willing to cover travel costs in it's entirety is just pathetic. It goes against the spirit of the tournament. They implemented a bunch of systems ie, region lock to help the scene grow, but they are gonna stop full support of the players so that players are forced to make decision to no-show in ro.16 or pay out of their pocket essentially gambling money away?


Blizzard is having money issues. They are poor.
