I thought they were supposed to be some sort of qualifier for an invitational tournament? http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/TeamSpeak_TL_Open_26 | ||

I understand that the wonky scheduling is to accommodate traveling pros, and that these are just qualifiers rather than the main event, but I still would have liked to see at least a little more weight given to the interests of average NA viewers and aspiring amateur players. Thank you so much for putting on another TSL. I'm still really looking forward to it, but my unbridled excitement definitely cooled a bit after reading this news... Edit: Wait. The games will be casted from replays like last time, right? If they'll be broadcast later on when viewing is more convenient then please disregard my whining  Edit2: + Show Spoiler + On May 22 2012 15:05 Hot_Bid wrote: The broadcasts will start roughly 4pm EDT, and will last ~3 hours. | ||

To play in EU/NA tournaments, the player must:
To play in Korea, the player must:
Players who qualify for both must elect whether they wish to participate in the 10 EU/NA tournaments or the 5 Korean tournaments. Those in China, Taiwan, and SEA may choose to play in either the EU/NA tournaments or in the Korean events. Players in South America will play on the EU/NA qualifiers. Why is the condition for playing in Korea not simply "Live in Asia or be a Korean citizen", instead of having a one-off exception for people in SEA/Taiwan/China being allowed to play Korea and the condition for EU/NA "not live in Korea or be a citizen of a non-Korean country". That seems like it would cover the intent of the rules, without being so needlessly complicated. Why is there this second mention of South America for no reason? Also chalk me up as another sorely disappointed in the regression that you're only holding qualifiers on weekdays now. What happened to TSL3, where you held them on weekends? Do you really think the TSL is so unimportant to pros that they won't be able to make time for it on weekends...? If that's really TL's judgment on the tournament, then I'd question whether the time is right to have the tournament at all. | ||

I don't understand why you guys didn't split them 5 for NA and 5 for EU / with only NA players playing in the NA ones and only EU players playing in the EU ones / This is s quite terrible for people like me ; / I'm not gonna splash 50 euros to buy a NA client / account just to try to qualify for this tournament. And its fucking sad because I've been waiting to play in the qualifiers since forever ... ; / Shouldn't you be glad that your "home" qualifiers won't be overrun by Korean progamers? edit: Nvm, Koreans are only allowed to participate in their own qualifiers. Reeks of protectionism. ^^" On the other hand, there are more seats reserved for players on the Korean region, compared to seats reserved for EU or NA, so I guess it's not as bad. | ||

Sorry if this is a stupid question xD. I think that "cloaked" maps mean that you can't watch build orders/unit information/score/... after the match. | ||

Just a few enthousiasts now won't be able to play in the qualifiers but they very likely had no chance to qualify to begin with. | ||
