Sorry China.
After extensive dicussion amongst the TSL staff, well-known gamers, and members of the Chinese gaming community, we have decided to prohibit all gamers residing in China from qualifying for the playoffs of the TSL.
The reason for this is simple; game quality. There are many connection problems between Chinese IPs and European or American gamers. These problems will only be magnified when two casters and an observer are present. Rather than have issues during broadcast times, we will avoid the situation altogether.
For the TSL staff, the quality of the league is paramount to the considerations of individual gamers. I apologize to those Chinese gamers who have already invested time in the league, but we felt it was better to make this clear now rather than later. Gamers are still welcome to participate in the ladder, but will not be eligible for qualification.
If you have any questions of comments, please PM Manifesto7.
Thank you,
TSL Staff

Why are there connection problems with China specifically? I'm not doubting that there are, but I'm kinda curious.

Yeah it really sucks guys but would you rather it now, or say a Mondi vs PJ final that we can't broadcast due to lag :p

Believe me, this was not a decision made lightly. However, with our desire to broadcast the games, it would be far worse to be in a situation where lag ruins the experience for the viewers and the integrity of the league.

qft
the decision makes sense, i just wish the chinese players had better connections, i've always wanted to see how the top chinese gamers stacked up vs other top non koreans - xLo gave me a bit when the recruited a lot of chinese players, but they died like 3 weeks afterwards ;p

wouldn't this make harder for players to see their current spots and rankings in TSL?

It shouldn't be too bad since
A) the Chinese players are labeled clearly
B) they don't participate too seriously anyway

I was really hoping to see pj or fengzi play. Too bad.
