I think it is wrong that players from australia and maybe new zeeland can play in SEA tournaments. I think it is pretty obvious - even the name is southeast asia server why can they play?

Some of the reasons I come up with are lag, and the competition between seasian nations.

If Aaustralians can play in our asian tournaments they will have worse latency to the server. Because why you might be used to it, the actual lag it could potentially cause others wouldn't be used to. Like I said, we're SEAsia server at this time, and will see how many issues are caused by lag and see if we can implement solutions to that so that when we expand to Aus and NZ, we can handle it better. I'm sorry that it means you won't be able to play, but this is how we should approach it, slowly and making sure we're doing it the right way for the asians each time, in terms of giving them the best games possible. The viewers and asian player suffer because of lagging players.

I thought long and hard about what regions to include in SEA tournemants. I wish we could include everyone but that isn't the reality right now. There are a number of challenges for including ANZ which include ease of communication, scheduling, latency affecting the quality of games, checking the legality of prize money and competition for the different areas of SEA and so forth. I think we should stick with my original plan of just the Southeast Asian regions. We can still be considering our options to include ANZ for SC2SEA events as this is something that most of us definitely eventually want to do, if it's the right move to make for us to make. This is not us hating on the countries and ANZ players, this is just the best move for us to make as a community at this time.

thank you
