Due to COVID-19 and high airfares (about 10000 dollars per person), two Chinese players are not able to participate Nation Wars offline. Ogaming told TIME he can play online before RO8, but it told TIME that he can’t participate online 6 hours ago. Team Peace may face the same situation.

The French are about to lose their place in StarCraft and WTL in China.

SCBOY is about to host their own nation wars for China and Russia, and will invite winners from the US and Poland. The $10,000 prize is paid by SCBOY.

To clarify, the Chinese sponsor of WTL is only considering hosting two play matches to make it up for TIME and Cyan's loss. Besides, SCBOY has made no comment on hosting a New Nation's War or expelling French players, that's absolute nonsense. It's quite unfair to exaggerate the hostility between Scboy and Ogaming.

From what I've seen on the Chinese SC forum, a large number of Chinese audiences are very disappointed about Ogaming's decision since TIME has been told the Chinese team would be allowed to play online. It is said that Team Peace has received the same promise. However, Xiaose (the co-owner of Scboy) has been comforting the emotions of these audiences. Under such circumstances, he offered to host two play matches to make it up for TIME and Cyan, if only he can get the approval of his co-owners. I don't think there would be any personal problem between Scboy and Ogaming.

It's quite absurd to use others' kindness as a method to spread vicious rumours.

You may have misunderstood what I mean, I mean that the French will be discriminated against by Chinese StarCraft fans for this kind of behavior. The French will also be booed by the audience at the WTL match.

Congratulations to the French team for winning the NW7 at least runner-up.

Although lost to China and Russia, but victory is victory

Not related, so does that mean no Chinese player will be in DH Valencia as well? Or Cyan still play because the airfare are being paid by ESL?

Actually Cyan has confirmed he would not play in DH Valencia, the airfare would be too expensive for ESL to cover(like $4000 single). He has also mentioned that ESL only covered part of his airfare to Katowice.TIME is not playing in Valencia as well...

Seems like Ogaming moved themselves into a lose-lose-position here. They seemingly promised teams they could play online, but then realized too late they took crowdfunding money explicitly to hold an offline event. So it's either break a promise to the teams or to the people who gave you money.

Unfortunate for China and Team Peace. The coincidence of France standing to gain from the situation doesn't make it look any better, of course.

Ogaming should have communicated from the get-go to teams that offline participation is required. If a nation's players couldn't guarantee that, they shouldn't have been allowed to attend in the first place and maybe be placed into a showmatch or something to still give them a chance to play.

1st place doesn't even cover half the flight costs for one Chinese player. Quite weak to go back on your word to the players. And now France of all countries stands to profit if Peace is also DQ'd.

that is pretty damn weak from the frenchies I have to say.. the hype is gone and tbh I don't really care about the result of the tournament now, even if my nation made the top4..

nice way to ruin a very interesting tournament.. such a shame.
