Well to be blunt that's really not my problem or fault that ESL wasn't more active, if they were given 1000 keys to give away to the 1000 most active, and they change it to players with 1 or more games after the competition is over... they're not following up on what they said then. we know its bad and wasn't good and took forever to find games, becasue we played like 50+ plus games of it... and I'm guessing if you didn't get a key then you wern't in the top most active with your baller total of 1+ game... becasue I imagine they have more than 1k people in total who put in more than one game But what about all those players who put in 0 effort and still expect a beta key for the 1-2 games.. Isn't this somehow discriminating against the lazy? It would be, but I guess there were actually just that many people who were playing in the other ESL events that the many many who only played 1 game weren't active enough ^^ Also @baldgye, i already said there is only 895 on the ladder, out of 1000. That's why I was asking.
but I'm pretty sure there where more than one ladder... and even if they did have a secret threash hold of number of games needed to qualify and that turned out to be more than one, then I'm glad! it means that people who put the effort it got rewarded and the people who just tried to cheat the system by doing as little as possible didn't get rewarded, becasue if they had said you need to play at least 2 games, you would have played those two and no more...
Not trying to be mean but they rewarded people who tried out there league and site and ignoored the people who tried to cheese the system for a free key... good for them

If you were a baby otter, I would punch you and feel no remorse.

Woop got it. Worth playing those 100 games mostly vs noobies And for those who played less than 5 games and expected invite, I think other servers are also included so there is no way that the esl.eu/eu versus is the only versus that gets keys.

I got my invite, too! thanks :D

I got my invite, it was a great exercise in humility, getting smacked by masters players game after game, saying gg and not really caring - knowing there was a possible beta invite coming.

Hmm, i am probably really unlucky or i dont know. 100 games played, most in my country and top 30 in versus and no key, but friend of mine, who played 95 games got it

I got the email but not the invite. >,< I gave them all my info but no inv..

I understand where you're coming from but that would be completely unfair. Imagine if the secret threshold was actually 3 games then. What if I played 2? What if it was 4, but I played 3? That is not fair, and if there is a secret threshold, it means the ones giving the keys away are lying. It's not a question of right or wrong, it's simply lying.
There is no cheating the system. If they had a secret requirement, they are the ones cheating you. If they say you only need to be the top 1000 most active, and you are the top 1000 most active, it doesn't matter how many games you played. You made the requirement. What's the point in giving out the requirements to win something if the requirements themselves aren't even true or reliable? What kind of world would we live in then? What if they said you need to play at least 2 games, but then there was a secret threshold of 3 games, because they fault that 2 was "cheating the system".
Does that make any sense?

It's completly fair becasue the whole point of the competition is for people to use there league, one or two games is hardly using. If the threash hold was public knoledge then instead of playing as much as possible and really pushing the system and being forced to play as much as you could you actually get an idea of what the service it is they are offering.
Cheating the system is what you tried to do and failed to do.

Check your spam folder, many I know played far less games than you and received the email.
Either that or they pinged you for some kind of cheating.

Yes got it today (from blizz, not esl) !! I've been playing a decent amount but not a ton. Maybe 50 ladder games in the past 2-3 weeks? But a lot of practicing builds vs AI...
|
I got my beta key, I only played roughly 7 games. went 5-2 with one draw. Edit: I got 3 emails from ESL saying i have to email blizzard etc etc.Couple hours later i got the invite from blizzard, do i still have to send my email in with the esl link still?
|
Got my email, roughly 20 games. finished top 15ish in US versus ladder.
|
@ ESL
Does it matter whether I have replyed using my ESL email or my battlenet email?
Turns out Microsoft Outlook Automatically chose my main email account when I clicked on the link to reply to you. I was just making sure that you dont look at it and wonder why there is a reply from an email other that the one you sent yours to.... I could always email you via my esl email as well just in case.
After playing 50 games and coming in 1st in SEA I dont want to miss out on my hard earned beta.

i was playing on na but the email is a .eu. does this mean that i will need an eu client to play? or does it not matter and i will get my inviite next friday?
