World Championship Series: Europe Nationals

World Championship Series: Europe Nationals

We‘re excited to bring you an update regarding Blizzard’s new eSports competition: the StarCraft II World Championship Series. The series consists of prize tournaments in nearly every part of the world that will bring players from all over the globe together to compete like never before.

It all starts with the National Qualifiers, where players (maybe even you!) will battle it out for a chance to prove their mettle and qualify for the National Finals. The top players from each country will then compete in the European Finals. From there, winners will earn the right to fight in the StarCraft II World Championship Series, where they’ll strive to win amazing prizes and the title of World Champion. We’ll have more details to share about this tournament in the very near future.

If you’re keen to be part of the action, join one of the qualifiers for the Nationals listed below, and go head to head against others from your country. We’ll be sharing further information on how to sign up as the event dates approach, so check back often for your chance to join.

@erdem: maybe the problem is this ?
we are always acting like that, like u did here, we are acting rude, we are always aproaching with anger, maybe thats why most of people thinks we are bad or rude or or... uneducated, ect. we are doing "this acts" in everywhere, in every game, in every sport, in everything, pls stop it try to be more gentle to other people, im not saying all of us, all of Turks like that or im not saying u are rude or something, i hope u dont get me wrong.
All im tryg to say, we need to act more kind, if they wont involved us in this championship i belive they have a good reason, i dont think they are just hating or not liking us.

Well... I guess its hard to organise it in every single country. But there are so many top players left... Beastyqt, DeathAngel, NightEnD....
At least there could be one big qualifier for Balkan countries ... and you could do that same thing for some other regions. Would make everyone happy ^^

What about us smaller EU countries? You could at least make "other" category and have us all play in the same qualifier.

@Koff: Seems like all the Scandinavian finals are gathered together. It is a cheaper solution as most of them havn't got that big a tournement scene(Hence no partners)

@IIIIIIIIIIII: The qualifiers are open qualifiers for the respective countries. Requirements to participate dont involve ladder points or being GM, Master etc. The details of this will be announced by the partner running the respective qualifiers.

So, I am polish, but at the moment staying in Taiwan and going to Poland just to play it is obviously not an option... Does that mean I can't take part in the tournament?
I don't have taiwanese citizenship, but I am studying here - does it qualify me to take part in taiwanese tournament?
