I find it weird Chile didn't get its own spot, while Argentina did.

Well, I've already explained the situation in another thread:

Clearly it's not possible for any system to be equally great in all titles for all local regions but we've done our best in order for it at least not to look absolutely stupid in eyes of any community.

Emailed about signing up if someone can get me signed up that'd be great. I'm a U.S. citizen didn't realize you need a scan of your passport...but obv i'm sure someone can get me signed up for this.

Holy shit, that Scarlett vs. HuShang series. He put up an amazing fight. He probably almost got her to use her second hand.

Same. It's missing Masa, Semper, Jason and a few others.

MaSa doesn't have Canadian citizenship so he's not eligible to play. Semper was not able to participate because of some date/time conflicts with his personal schedule. Not sure about any other Canadian players though. Full list of registered (but not approved which means that there were no citizenship proofs sent) players can be found here: https://wesg.starladder.com/en/sc2/tournaments/82/members

Does anybody know more details about the Americas offline qualifier? Is it going to have live audience, where is it going to be, who is organizing it...?
