The WCS player travel policy states that Latin American countries have up to 1000$ travel stipend. So that will cover Juan. Our US guys are working with him now to get travel booked. Sorry for the confusion  GG NO RE LOL. Glad that's all figured out. | ||

Sorry for the confusion I missed your post among all the drama. Thanks for clarifying this, and good luck to MajOr.

- WCS, from an annual P&L standpoint, almost assuredly is a net loss project From a marketing standpoint, it is unlikely that WCS would favourably compare to other marketing tools in terms of ROI from a narrow point of view such as looking at additional revenue from HOTS / LOTV sales. What is DOES do is allow Blizzard to retain market share and image in a potentially high-growth area, that being e-sports. There is no telling what the future holds in store for this niche, and continually positioning themselves as a supporter and provider of e-sports content in it's fledgling state may (or may not) pay huge dividends in the future. It's a qualitatively wise business move that may or may not transition into a quantifiable return later on. Plus, they are an organization of people who live and breathe games; there is no question that they also have some altruistic motive towards giving their consumers a venue to play and celebrate the game they developed. | ||

The TB and Major comments are very amusing. And i used to be a Major fan but now i see why he is team less and can't afford a trip to the biggest tournament of his career. | ||

There is no point in slamming the gate after the horses have long since bolted. Americans are not good enough to compete en-masse in WCS NA as it currently stands and those that did earn their spots should not be punished for that. A proper NA league should be established for NA players but good luck finding anyone willing to run it. The viewership isn't there and the players keep forfeiting whenever one of us tries to set something like that up, so wtf. The prevailing opinion is that it's a lost cause and it's hard to disagree with that right now. Flight costs last year were upwards of $15,000 for WCS America alone. To call it crippling would be an understatement. Like my friend used to say, in the end it's the airlines who wins x). On principle I don't like paying flights, living closer to the tournament should give you financial advantage and you can tak the money and put it into the prize pool. Other than that it makes sense because tournament winnings travel slowly and this is a buffer for the players. In this case I suspect he didn't RTFM, although changes like that mid year are a bit annoying. | ||
