i'm up for the tournament :)
but i'm from India which is in south centre of Asia,not sure if you have it in east or west asia.So which region do i lie in?Europe?

sigh.....this is the moment when Asians get disadvantage ;(

don't like the regional limitations.
good luck with the championship.

Lithuanians team maybe?

Are there really that many East Asian players?

I can be an alternate player if somebody wants me. I teach at an English academy so my hours are really strange (sure East Asians can relate to this), so idk useful I'd be with scheduled real time games.

Yeah europe region will be stacked. Lots of good players there.

I think that tha option of using coins in the second stage should be decided before this starts. For example, I could be interested but I don't have coins :P
The skype interviews can be a problem for non english speakers :/ And the timezone can be a problem for it too.

Can people who live in latin america team up with someone in north america ?

^Yes that is same region

OK, thanks.

@Ryiro: Good question. India is in the European region, countries east of India are not.

@Sirius: Yeah, I really would love for there to be enough people to split Asia into its own region, but I'm afraid there isn't. If the turnout is bigger than anticipated, I can make the split this season.

@ps: grumpy von grumpykins.

@Mablung: Idk. Off the top of my head, Pulsey and Qi.

@Memele: We're most likely not using coins in the second stage for this season. The question is to see how that would go over. As for the skype interviews, they're not 100% mandatory but there should be someone on the team able to do them. :P

I may do this. If someone if interested in a substitute then just let me know.

@Lolo: Wouldn't hold my breath on a Pulsey/Qi/Mablung team.

I assume Australia/NZ count as East Asia, so you may get people like nich and Summer.

Correct, Oceania is also counted in the NA Region with East Asia :)

I'd like to play, pm me if you're organising a team.

""" These are the rules for the 2nd Stage:

1. 2 real-time games will be played per week. Game 1 will be played before Wednesday. Game 2 will be played before Friday. Broadcasts will be on Wednesday and Friday, times to be decided."""


By when will you decide the time for this real-time game? I'm on the west coast and whatever time you decide will almost certainly fall during my work hours. Is there any way you could consider this real-time game to be played after 5 PM PST?

First, I am behind the idea of a Europe 3vs3 Championship (ladder too (sigh). But it seems you like to complicate things:

• Multi-Day vs Real-time: 1st (good) reason to decline imo.

• I second ps: Regional limitation sucks. a lot. If I want to play with Mablung. I can't. no way.

• Will you organize one Championship every 4 years like football or Olympic games?
  Make those double elimination tourneys, single ones, in 1st Phase i.e

This formula is too restrictive if you want the good 3vs3 Europe players to join.

@Master of the Dead: in 4-5 days, when I have enough interested applicants.

@Anticon:

The Clan League consists of 11 tournaments that have 6 games each and 7 participants. The settings are multiday. Clan League A takes almost 1 year to complete. Okay now let's imagine we do this event all 3-day multiday with vacations honored. In Clan League, all of the tournaments are made at the same time. In this event, we have to first wait for the 1st tournament to be halfway done to proceed. Then we have to do a double RR. Okay. In Clan League, you play 6 Europe 3v3 games. This is what takes almost a year in group A. In my event you play 14-18 Europe 3v3 games in the 2nd stage. That's double the time. I could go on but I hope you see the point.

Regional limitations are a part of almost every World Championship Series in existence. Every e-sport that hosts a World Championship Series separates by region. The Olympics separate by region. The World Cup separates by region. The reason we separate by region for this event is two-fold. 1. It's more interesting and competitive. 2. It's far easier to schedule RT games by region.

I would love to host this event every year.

I get the reasons for RT, and playing RT is fun anyway. I'm just curious on the process for deciding times. As a full time worker with a wife and two kids, the time I can play a RT game is somewhat limited.

How long does a RT game of 3v3 europe take (when fairly evenly matched)? I suggest 3 min boot, with a bank to help us decide picks. That might take an hour or so to play?
