I am not a Chinese player, I am not even Chinese, I am not even remotely asian, but I am a caster that studies Chinese as his university major, and if a western event is featuring a key Chinese-Speaking player or a player well-renowned by Chinese players, I take the opportunity that I can to cast it.

Why is it Blizzard's or MLG's fault if the players show up late because they misread the time?
look at the time in the chat, 22:17 in Beijing Time is just 10:17 EST. The check-in started in 10:00 EST

I talked with iG's coach (the real one obviously), he stated they asked the admin about whether their players were actually checked in and able to play, and got that "good to go", how would you understand this? And they asked numerous times about the bracket for their absence, the answer is that bracket "isn't final", after the "final" bracket was out, they contacted the admin, which told them to contact another admin called hammertime, but got no help but a bunch of apologizes. Also I briefly checked about the rules for WCS NA qualifier and Gamebattles, didn't find anything about queues, if there is any, please let me know. I can provide original conversation if needed.
you should, for clarity

What an awful post. China doesn't have it's own qualifiers, the whole WCS situation was announced only a few weeks ago, do you expect these players to just automatically have flights booked to Korea to participate out of nowhere? These players basically needed to go in the online qualifiers without any other choice, and now they'll have to wait till the next season to even participate.
Next season had better be more accommodating, or I could imagine a lot of people just ignoring the following seasons.

It's absurd anyway, it's supposed to be the World Championship Starcraft . How can you limit the entrance number to 512 people..

Sundance and co looking mighty dodgy yet again... It's yet another of those old either lying or incompetent situations... Place your bets how long before we get the old we messed up speech before they carry on regardless...
My guess is they've just run the qualifier really badly and the admin didn't know what he was talking about... Lets blame blizzard for the lack of automated tournaments, and starting the trend of massively discriminating against the Chinese player base.

Besides that, there were inconsistencies from region to region with how the format worked. Its not Blizzard's fault the China has rules and regulations that are difficult to deal with. Google and other companies have the same problem for anything that works online.
Each region had its own rules, which could be read by anyone and the check in time was the same for everyone in NA. Everyone else seemed to be able to get here on time, including Korean players.

They were later than everyone else. This is what happens when you have an open, free qualifier than anyone with an copy of SC2 can sign up for.
Also, I don't know if that clock is based on the internal clock of the PC or the B.net clock.

The biggest problem with this, was it (the tournament) being completely open, so bad players could take the good players spots. Were some players automatically seeded into the tournament? If so, they chinese Pro players should have had a spot there as well :/

His teammates signed up at the same time as him, and they were all in the same geographic location when they did, even in same training house I would bet.

Not all since MLG Adam had to warn that Zenio was not checked in, yet he still made the bracket.
Adam Apicella @MrAdamAp 20 Apr @Hot_Bid @Kennigit zenio not checked in
Notice that this was at 22:26, so later than the conversation between admins and the Chinese players.

MLG reserved 64 slots for players on teams that they had dealt with in the past. I am sure a Team Liquid player was one of them and was already put into the bracket.
I don't know when they checked in using the MLG website, only when this discussion took place on B.net.

They dropped the ball here, they need to make up for this somehow. like for example, Seed one of the Chinese into the next stage and fly them over for the lan event.
