i think it was spart1e not dahang and it only went to the .za players, because Spart1e didn't need the slot and gave it away. Also it is not like that you can fly over and can participate. Asia must be your first residence and you have to live there for at least a year or will live there so long in future in a fixed job or university contract, else you can't participate.

It's impossible to compete over those distances.

In the end this rule is an extension of the same rule we use inside Europe; for example:
There is a team with 5 Dutch players, at least 3 of them move across the border into a German village. That team would be eligible to play in German competitions because the majority of its players resides in Germany. (Of course there is a rule that prohibits you from competing in 2 EPS leagues in 2 countries at the same time).
Likewise it'd be possible for players in 1v1 games to compete like that. If there were a regular rules ESL Cup for QL in Germany, PURRI (Swedish, but to my knowledge residing here in Germany) would be eligible to compete in it.

how does competing there make them desperate.

I think it's kind of obvious they didn't more to Asia to compete at the cup, they just take part because they have then chance and probably enjoy playing.

but why?

the only chance they had to qualify is the qualifier in Asia.
Or do you really expect them to move to Europe for months just for that or play in the European qualifier with high ping? That wouldn't make any sense.

If they just flew to Asia for this qualifier, then I would completely agree with you. But again, this is the only qualifier they can participate in.

Also:

I don't recall you vehemently complaining that Vo0 was allowed to compete in NA.
It's not Prozac's and fenda's fault if the Asian players turn out to be not good enough. (And unleashed seems to be much better than fenda...)

All this really looks like you just favor the Asian because of your affinity for their culture.

im saying it should have been the same as that african tournie when americans/euros took the money but the travel spots to the finals went to nationals.

as people have repeatedly told you, it is NOT the same.

fenda and prozac live there, they did not just fly there for the tourney.
TBone is another example, he moved here and can compete here. But you would make him travel all the way to South Africa to be allowed to compete.

a stay in the country for an extended period of time, beyond the duration of a regular tourist visa
reasons could be: work, study, marriage, asylum, ...

we are trying not to lock people out of the extreme masters competition just because they don't live in the country or region they are originally from.
obviously it can become easier to qualify in a different region, but then again it is very unlikely for anyone to move overseas just to compete (while pro gaming is not their main source of income of course - it can't be denied that some professional RTS players have done it before, like the handful of American and European Starcraft players that live/lived to Korea, or the Korean WC3 player Zacard who lived and competed in Germany a few years ago).

the spot went to spartie, its just because of him that a local got the spot in the end, cause he thought why not since he lives in sweden anyway.

He's basically repping Japan. Not being able to represent your original nationality is a fair enough trade off, don't you think? It might look like slot hogging but for the reasons stated by Sput, it'd be better to hog one than let it stay empty. Plus the guy moved to Japan, so that should be enough.

Asia's player base for Quake Live is not as big and serious as Europe's or stateside's. True that there are many good players but there are hardly any local/online events to keep them involved in the scene. Atleast that's how it is in India. We have only one operational quake 3 server that caters to the needs of some of the casual duelers with only 2-3 serious about acing every game and that's it. No tournaments on LAN or even online have been even remotely heard of, let alone organized. We're already struggling for a QL server and that's how it is.

TBH, as long as there are gg's, I don't quite care whether they're the local lads or someone from the outside residing there.

I'm pretty sure it's him, and if it is he will surely give prozac and jibo some decent games if he has been active. I would be surpriced if prozac plays a lot these days, so it might become a bit interesting to see who finishes top 2. I don't think that it will be as clear as many think :)

Anyone know who Serval is from the Japanese cup? I have the feeling it's Serval Cat from the good old 1.16n Noghost community.
He was a kickass player of both insta CTF as well as 1v1. Look at his ranking in the japanese cup. Tsrrrrrr beat him or he would've faced unleashed!! 99% sure it's him. The guy used to play for FUKK clan.

the problem for players from japan or korea is that it is not that easy for them to get days off from work (in addition to financing their travel and accomodation)
the ql scene in those 2 countries is fairly competitive and quite a few players have signaled interest, but in most cases the hurdles mentioned above have been to high to take

CS1.6 - $25,000
WOW - $20,000
QL - $4000

4K is just sad.

i understand CS, but WOW? seriously? WOW?!

how the fuck did it even become competitive in the first place?!

$20k 3 ways is quite a bit better than both others.

these are total prize money figures. first place in CS gets 11K, which means $2200 per player for first place. QL is $1750. not much of a difference, but since this is a duel game based on an individual unit as compared to a team unit, i really feel that the player deserves more; $2000 for first would've been fair. i don't think i would've complained if, for example, the QL division was team based and prize for first place would've been $1600 per player.

but alas, QL is much 'smaller', than the others.

but i still hate WOW being there.

yeah and don't forget RocketBoy who was really interested but we couldn't work out a solution for work/visa problems, it's especially kinda hard for chinese players to get to Taiwan.

Anyone knows what Prozac is doing in Asia? I'm pretty sure he recently graduated from Gotland University as a game developer, maybe he got a job there?

Strange people are the best kind.

And there's lots to do in Japan that doesn't have anything to do with Sushi or Anime/Manga.

it'll be interesting to see this guys plays on a LAN ping. or will ESL be doing the same thing in dreamhack where they all connect to an Internet server while on LAN?

oh. i forgot that tourney where they didn't have a real QL LAN server wherein they have to connect to an internet QL server to play.

anyway, the thing is if they'll be doing this tourney in taiwan, they only have the singapore, korea and japan server to connect to which is not so nice, so a "real" QL LAN server would be great for them.
