Is there a reason why certain countries can't participate (I know mine can)? Is it because of local laws?

In my opinion Blizz could make this OK, if they give the ones from countries that are not on the list, a Heroes-Beta-Access, i whould play to LVL 30 if necessary...

The team colours option is nice, but I think its different than the old mod/gameheart version. I like the gameheart/old version better. Or maybe I'm on crack and it is the same. I'm tired, but I think its different :p
Can we help spread the word and create pressure to get Rob Pardo to replace Browder as head of Sc2? Pardo led the team for broodwar, frozen throne, and wow/BC. We need to make this a thing before LotV development starts. Think about it.

Probably because of GEMA and Twitch not having an HQ in Germany. They would have to pay fees like TV channels etc. Wouldn't be worth to include Germany for the hassle of going through this.

What's up with only some countries being eligible for that... Why is that so ?

@ScoutWBF:

Hm maybe, but also the dutch aren't eligible to win and they don't have sth. like GEMA afaik...
Whatever i feel kinda ignored by Blizz...
As i sad, i think they should compensate it in some kind of way...

Being excluded from contests is not a new thing, it doesn't help Germany but at least it's not only US+Canada this time.
Too weird to live, too rare to die.

Shouldn't you change your favourite players into protoss-players after you betrayed your old race ;-)

Level per race is capped to 3. You usually get it with one game, so u need at least 2 games to reach 5.

Also how dare TL refer to the glorious Grand Duchy as simple Luxembourg!

Hungary is there which is a nice surprise, still I don't think I'm going to get into it.
The fuck? Well, that sucks.

Wondering why those states can't participate, but NSW/WA/SA/TAS/NT can?
