Scarlett not participating is a massive disappointment. If it couldn’t be helped it couldn’t be helped but we are talking about a player in the top 4 of WCS Circuit points currently and playing one less event than everyone she is competing against.

On a lesser note it’s also a bummer that puCK and Astrea are not making it either. Kiev is not off to the best of starts.

Visa issues for some, maybe traveling cost for some.

Denver is unable to compete because he does not have some vaccine needed and cannot have one because of an allergy.

edit : No visa issues, my bad.
SC2 is the best game to watch and was the best to play before I grew old and slow...

The question is why Ukraine has 2 events (IIRC) with these issues. Not that I will be watching WCS, just wondering why 2
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

I'm guessing money has quite a lot to do with it. I would prefer events in Sweden. Those worked quite well if I recall correctly

The recovery was not as good as expected and she did bad in GSL for that reason.

Where do you get that data from?... She lost 1-2 to Trap, and 1-2 to Keen... that's not strange for a healthy Scarlett, so nope, I don't think that's the reason she went out in GSL. The only strange thing she did was to ask GSL to lower the lights of the studio.

Anyways, excited to see how the new events in Kiev go.

A true nerd plays in the dark as you don't have to fear of the Dark!

She's a woman who walks alone
And when she's walking a dark road
At night or strolling through the park
...
when the light begins to change
she sometimes feels a little strange
A little anxious when he's Dark.

Fear of the Dark, fear of the Dark
She has a constant fear that zergling's always near!
Fear of the Dark, fear of the Dark
She has a phobia that someone's always there!

Denver is unable to compete because he does not have some vaccine needed and cannot have one because of an allergy

From the tournament organizer's perspective, I would like to clarify that no signups were cancelled due to any kind of visa / border control issues. Every Russian player is in. Every player who applied for visa (we had around 10 players who had to go for this procedure, one can't even compare that to US or Canada for example) is now in Kiev. The reasons of notable players like Scarlett, ArT, Denver, Rail, Rob cancelling their participation are mostly individual and nothing has changed since previous WCS Circuit stops: 5 to 10 players dropped almost every event. The main reason why we don't have the replacements for these players is our Master league signup criteria which was not used during the previous WCS Circuit events - this might be our mistake and we will consider changing this approach for WCS Summer.

Furthermore, there are no mandatory vaccinations required to go to Ukraine. So its unlikely that this is the reason for Denver's absence..

no signups were cancelled due to any kind of visa / border control issues

Thanks for the clarification Alex007, that is very important information to frame the situation.

One concern I have is the sheer quantity of Starcraft being attempted on Friday. Three Bo3 dual-tournament group stages and five rounds of the Bo3 knockout bracket in just one day. That is more maps than an entire season of GSL in the first six hours. I can see why an unseeded player would be wary of entering such an endurance contest. An all-day event like this is certain to take place in the Americas/Korea night time, so just the jet lag alone would make it a grind for those traveling a long way. IEM, counting its offline qualifier, has similar field size and takes place over 5 days instead of 3.

I'd love to see some Korean players that failed to qualify for GSL/ST fill in the last spots, sort of reverse-Scarlett. Taeja or Bunny maybe, or some sponsored slots for any past legend.

I think, strangely enough, having a smaller offline field would increase the strength of the tournament. Almost better off having Group Stage 1 the previous weekend as an online event, and then it would provide a better incentive for the remaining players to travel, plus a less compressed tourney schedule.

Generally the epidemic in in Western Ukraine, not in Kiev. One has similar risk of catching the disease in Paris as in Kiev.
