I really don't get why they don't add it :| I mean, there's at least two great players from Lithuania, and there's a lot of those who obviously don't have any chances but still could beat the shit out of Ali Nab and the likes...

I don't understand why Canada isn't on that list.

I'm working hard right now on trying to find a venue or LAN that will be good for ESWC Canada, and finding it asap.

Who's the Canada rep for this?

maybe no one has contacted them yet about holding qualifiers

"If you want to run ESWC operations in your country, please contact Mr. Machadinho ([email protected]) to get the licensing information and competitions specifications."

Alright, I thought each country had a rep or something. I'm in contact with a few organizations, I'll make sure for them to e-mail him.

I'm wondering about this as well, but after last year, I'm not surprised that Canada isn't on the list right now.

Regardless, you're certainly not the only one looking into this.

I'm doing what I can to get Canada on the pending list, then find a location/event for the qualifiers.

I would play in a Canada qualifier if it's in Toronto or nearby.

Best venue would be the MTCC (Metro Toronto Convention Centre) if you need a huge place.. if not, then any lan would do...
