Qualifying Phase
The “Qualifying Phase” will consist of online best-of-three single elimination play among remaining 128 players who will be randomly placed into brackets. Play will continue until an amateur winner is determined. The top 32 players will advance to the “Tournament Phase” to take on the invited professional players.

so you're willing to stay up till 20:00 -6gmt several nights consecutively? also, you're swedish which is only +1(russians or further east would be even worse), add 7 hours thats hmmm 3:00, i'll go out on a limb assuming you work or go to school several nights in a row, thus you will most likely be skipping work for an ONLINE sc2 tournament (not a lan). moreover, every country has different prize rules etc.
and lastly using your logic: the EU craftcup is held every friday @ 1:00 pm CST, which most people living in the central US(or further west especially) will be at school or work then and won't be able to participate. And seeing that a lot of up-and-coming pros are people who go to school mainly this seems unfair doesn't it?
maybe its just me, but it seems like euro elitism as it's finest I must say.

I don't think your getting the point here. I'm pretty sure American players can participate in eu-craftcup if they obey the rules of playing on eu server.
The thing is even if European players are willing to be up all night and playing on us-server they are not allowed to participate because of the rules.
"The Tournament is open only to residents of any state of the United States of America, the District of Columbia and any Province of Canada "
You must see the difference here right`?
