Hmm it does seem odd that they don't at least let all the SEA based players fight it out... But looking forward to hearing more about it and good to see they are giving opportunity for players from our region to shine.

Hi all,

If you don't know me already, I am the Blizzard eSport and Community manager for Australia and New Zealand. I will do my best to answer questions but as you know this is just the start of the announcements we will have regarding these events. There will be plenty of official updates in the coming weeks.

What other countries will be under oceania? NZ and Aus for the moment. I am looking to involve one or two misc countries also but nothing confirmed as yet.

Are philippines / Malaysia under Asia too? More information regarding how regions that do not have their own National event will be coming shortly.

Will it be online or LAN events for the national qualifiers?

National qualifiers can be either live or online - this year they will most likely be existing tournaments that will have seeds for the Blizzard National event.

-PJ

This will be decided by the partners who are running the National qualifiers. Once they are announced then contact them if you are interested.

Love everything about this.

**Maynarde** · Thu, 5th-Apr-2012, 10:58 AM

So excited for this, Blizz sure as hell knows how to run a good show! Will need to be pretty amazing to make me forget about the fact that there's no Blizzcon to go to this year

More than happy to cast games / help out the tournaments for Oceania in anyway.

Likewise. Definitely what I want to become involved with eventually at an international level

**TAEdgE** · Thu, 5th-Apr-2012, 11:05 AM

Looks pretty damn cool!

deL · Thu, 5th-Apr-2012, 11:06 AM

Hmmm wonder if it's cos some of the SEA nations were having trouble getting a Visa :/

Stoked. Eases the pain of the WCG passing.

Feel bad for the rest of Asia with South Korea not having an independent qualifier. Brutal.

Does that seem a little... off to anyone else?

I agree - but this could all be balanced out by the number of qualifying spots open to each region?...

**inFeZa** · Thu, 5th-Apr-2012, 12:20 PM

Wow our own qualifier... i feel blessed blizzard... now how about a nice server with no shit latency too? thx.

That would be nice, but the ladder search time T_T

SEA is low pop enough already with Singapore etc in our server, Australia needs another 50 million people to justify our own server I think. Better start breeding inFeZdawg, I'll do my part.
