sign ups are still open for this!
|
terrible timing for this..
Literally all 3 qualifiers ran during 1 week.. the 1 week I will be in germany playing in HSC4 ...
SPREAD OUT YOUR QUALIFIERS THAT IS LITERALLY THE POINT OF HAVING MULTIPLE QUALS
this is incontrol on my brother's account btw lol
|
With it being the holidays, its tough to spread out qualifiers while at the same time finishing the championship bracket on the 12th deadline.
|
tough sure. Impossible, no.
3 quals in 1 week's time is going to hurt your tourney and I am here to say PLEASE RECOGNIZE THAT as these tourneys are awesome and deserve MORE recognition than a thread opened 1 week ago with 0 responses and most of the top NA talent not playing.

Its going to hurt only because of HSC, but at the same time only 4 Americans are attending HSC which leaves plenty of talent left to compete in the tournament. Violet got an invite so even with HSC he will still be playing the championship bracket.
I definitely get what you are saying, but I don't agree with extent of damage you think HSC is going to cause.

Is Violet permanently living in the states? Seems like he's been getting lots of invites or competing in a lot of American events.

Awesome to see Illusion invited, seen some awesome plays out of him. Will be interesting to see how he goes.

Hmm okay neat.
These qualifiers seem to have a better set of players already than the Kiev qualifiers as a whole. We've got Agh, DarkCell, Everize and Zelniq in this qualifier and Violet, Slush, Illusion and KR already invited. The 3 players that qualify should represent a top skill level of NA. Hopefully some more Quantic, Gosu, RGN, EG and Vile guys sign up.

Looks like I'm going to be heading back to Brazil for Carnaval sooner than I expected. I know I wont qualify, but I do have family in SP so why not be there for something so epic for South American E-Sports.
|
So I can't join if I'm from australia? that sucks
|
Don't worry, there is an SEA qualifier for this event as well. Stay tuned for the announcement for it.
