Participating WCS qualifiers from Japan
 

Hello SC2SEA guys! And nice to see you, this is first post of mine. I'm not good at English, so excuse me if I write poorly.

I'm Lapack, a SC2 fan from Japan, and participants of latest WCS SEA qualifiers season 1 Yes, 5 Japanese players participated this qualifiers. (4 of them are mentioned here, great preview btw!) And as you might know, handful of their games were broadcasted and introduced as Japanese player. So I thought, many of you would naturally think, "Why these Japanese players happened to participate SEA qualifier? They are at closer location to KR or TW?". I post this blog to partly answer this question, and more importantly, to make you feel closer and friendly to us(yes, I believe we can be good friend).

Actually I myself don't know much about WCS rules, but actually, Japanese players had never participated WCS qualifiers because we don't know how to and what region to participate WCS as Japanese. I think this is not mentioned in rules. Last month, horiken, an enthusiastic Japanese SC2 fan mailed WCS admins, and then they kindly recommended us to participate SEA qualifiers. I was so happy to hear that, I'm not good player and I knew I was going to lose(actually I lost 0-2 followed by 1-2 :P), but still I love to participate competition, because it makes us feel like we are in festival mood, doesn't it?

After I lost losers bracket, I could watch stream. Thanks for stream, I had fun very much, and this is same for many Japanese SC2 fans. Yes, quite a few Japanese fans watched WCS SEA streams, and tweeted like "PSiArc fighting" or "OMG DemiLove is awesome", etc etc...

Japanese SC2 community have been always alive but is not too large. I hope SC2JP and SC2SEA can get closer. Thank you all for reading this and thank you WCS SEA admins/streamers/participants/watchers! I'd like to meet you again

Hi Lapack,

I have always been a fan of Japanese gamers for their fighting games and how professional they are about it. I enjoyed and supported many of the Japanese players and I also hope we can grow closer together! We have many weekly tournaments here at SC2SEA, I hope we can see more of you guys participating in them! There is no league requirement, so anyone from Bronze to Grandmaster can join. Thanks for the blog post, it's really heartwarming to read!

Hey dude! It's really good to see you Japanese guys in our SEA qualifier!
You guys seem really mannered and fit in really well, I hope you all stick around and become true members of our community! I'm sure everyone else wants to get to know you guys as much as I do.

Re: Participating WCS qualifiers from Japan
 

Hi mate, I hope to see more Japanese players around here in the future. Even though I lost to two of them :P

Re: Participating WCS qualifiers from Japan
 

I hope to see Japanese players in more of our tournaments! More players means more competition, which hopefully means everyone improves together faster. It gets stale if you vs the same players all the time.

Re: Participating WCS qualifiers from Japan
 

Was awesome to have some new faces around! Check out some of the other SEA tourneys here when they start up again in the next few weeks.

Re: Participating WCS qualifiers from Japan

Enjoyed my games with PSIArc and was impressed with his results. I hope we'll see more Japanese players in SEA tournaments!

Re: Participating WCS qualifiers from Japan
 

I for one welcome our new Japanese Overlords! Be sure to check out SEAcraft Weekly, and other SEA tournaments!. We'd be happy to see some Japanese players compete!

Re: Participating WCS qualifiers from Japan
 

Welcome to SEA and Sc2sea

We will be running tournaments everyday, as part of our growing $30000+ league. You are welcome to play in any, open or SEA. I've always allowed Japan to fly under the SEA banner for my tournaments, but there's only be 1-2 players try over the years. Probably because we both aren't aware of each others scenes.

Re: Participating WCS qualifiers from Japan
 

Welcome and do hang around and join in the different tournaments we have around here
