wow, I love ESL, its tournaments like IEM qualifiers have been great opportunities for me to play awesome players.

I can only reach out to Japanese guys when I have spare time, but I can think of some other guys who could help, I'm not sure how many of us will participate though.

Actually I can't imagine other Japanese guys participating except a few people who have played in foreign tournaments before.
Many Japanese guys are shy and in fear of making mistakes, so usually only those who understand plain English or have had someone translate the rules beforehand participate in tournaments outside japan, therefore the chances are there won't be much of a problem with language anyway.

Even with Japanese support I don't think many more people will join, especially these days when less and less Japanese players are really eager to compete and most to just spectate.
