I wonder what unis will be going for wildcard spots and who would be in those tournies

Also is it $20 per qualifier?

Another · Thu, 10th-May-2012, 12:37 PM

will flights for qualified palyers be covered by the tournament? or will players have to pay there own way?

	syfChadMann:	People demand a different date of gigabyte LAN
	ToR.Arnor:	agreed :(
	inFeZa:	oh noes!
	iMSystem:	Gigabyte can't change, venue is locked

**nirvAnA** · Thu, 10th-May-2012, 1:38 PM

Unfortunately the Gigabyte LAN can't change their dates as they have already confirmed the venue and are holding a whole series of games over those dates, not just Starcraft. I really hope that ACL is the following week so players don't have to choose between the two. That way many players flying in can stay a week and play in both competitions! Will be an awesome week of sc2 ^^

ESGN is the following weekend while it doesnt have SCII it has the console titles COD8 and FIFA (and PC titles LoL and CoD4 for those interested) so itd be hard for them to hold it weekend after T_T

GG indeed

iM MaFia · Thu, 10th-May-2012, 1:41 PM

Gg time to figure out who's going to which ( hi glade )

**ACL inmaniac** · Thu, 10th-May-2012, 2:08 PM

Just......wow.

ACL deliberately made the 7th-8th the tentative dates for ACL Melbourne so we don't conflict with ESGN, and now this. Ouch.

**inFeZa** · Thu, 10th-May-2012, 2:14 PM

isn't ACL melb paired with that big blizzard event too? or is that something different?

ACL Melbourne (Nationals) is a qualifier for WCS (4 spots up for grabs) Nationals, the WCS Nationals are in August/September i think?

It is...

I can see one of the two being so robbed of talent.. ACL holds the honour/prestige imo.. but will be interesting to see what events the players choose to attend... if not both - as those that don't make it out of their groups at ACL can bus over to this gigabyte lan and own up a weakened field there. Still if iM and gigabyte were aware of ACL dates - dog act to book in the same town on the same day.. ACL can always go week before or two weeks later.. as ESGN will hurt their numbers if they change to that weekend...

For what it's worth ACL can't go week before as that's LanSmash in QLD.

Which is holding the QLD Blizzard invitational leg.

Also has most of the Stream team tied up there :P

Wish it was that easy mate.

**Mayo** · Thu, 10th-May-2012, 2:27 PM

So I guess people would much rather go to ACL then this, as there are 4 qualifying spots.

**ToR.Arnor** · Thu, 10th-May-2012, 2:48 PM

Hope it isnt two weeks later I have something planned then T_T Damn July so busy for esports

UHF · Thu, 10th-May-2012, 3:04 PM

I think this is going to hurt both events (and potentially one more than the other). Not only are you splitting the talent up, but you are also splitting attendance (which is terrible for LANs as you want as many people as possible). I also assume people like to catch up with one another and socialise just as much as competing.

Tough love!
