Man.... Im not gonna lie, those qualifier times really disappoint me. Like, if you're not a progamer, you basically cant attempt to qualify unless you want to take the day off work.

Pretty much rules out us casual players who also work and have families, no matter what league. Would it be too mucb to ask for TL to make TSL5 qualifiers on the weekend?

to allow everyone from na/eu to play in all na+all eu tournaments is REALLY unfair for the "non-pros".
really cant understand why you would do such a thing

Yep, I think it's quite a mistake to plan to have qualification tournament during work time; as it really negates TSL's specificity, i.e. to be the tournament that you wanna watch, because you have taken part in the qualifications before... Then, TSL just becomes another "pro tournament", to be watched from far, if you have time; not something you wanna be involved in.

Honestly, if some pros can't make on a week end, they still have something like 10 qualifications rounds to make it so...

Awesome, I would be interested in seeing what they changed on Metropolis to fix the frame rate issue if they didn't remove the island expo's.

I guess pros are expected to have a decent enough pc to handle Metropolis.

If not explicitly stated, other areas around the world default to their normal server. i.e. NA for japan, EU for africa and so on.

The changes are effectively the same as the GSL lite version, and will be similar to the version that Blizzard is looking to republish on the ladder
