As much as I'd love a beta key, it's just not worth it. They have very small traffic for their non- eu sections and I guess this giveaway was to increase it, but there's simply no excuse for having such a bad website. | ||

Each page is just a ton of unorganized small text and random shit all over the place. As much as I'd love a beta key, it's just not worth it.

I'm sorry for our US section... hopefully they can gather some people for VERSUS at least, that's why I didn't link them for anything else | ||

http://www.esl.eu/eu/sc2/ui/versus/rankings?page=3 Do I understand you right that players eligible for beta key from EU have to show up in that ranking? I also looked through all of them (5 pages lol) and there is not a single one from Ukraine. Does it mean that if the list of players grows while there will be still no players from Ukraine I will not receive an invite even if I play all day long? On the other side I dont understand why would Blizzard give away 1000 invites to support other ladders instead of just giving it to those loyal to their own... Yeah, Blizzard works in mysterious ways ... | ||

No, the VERSUS rankings is VERSUS only; we don't have any global all features (ladders, cups, aseries, leagues, versus) ranking, though I will see if something quickly can be knocked up on Monday It's in Blizzard's interest to support their partners; we have run 1000s of cups and tournaments around the world, we contribute to the activity of SC2 and do our best to grow local scenes | ||

ESL Nordic: Viking Cup <3 Unfortunately since flabbert stepped back from eSports and gave up the Nordic license, the Nordic section is running on a skeleton crew of volunteer admins. I know Breezer is trying to do what he can, but SC2 is a tough scene to crack when you don't have prizes to offer all the time | ||

Because your current initiative to distribute keys among most active communities does more harm than good in my eyes. I was really interested in joining your ladder (218 inactive players for a big part of 1000 keys... lol easy deal) but upon learning about your ways I will not do it for now. Maybe later. You know what you are not growing the local scenes. You are taking the bonuses from the Blizzard and offer those to already big communities. All you do is encourage big communities to grow THEMSELVES while strongly demotivate the nonexistent ones to even appear.and do our best to grow local scenes | ||

All you do is encourage big communities to grow THEMSELVES while strongly demotivate the nonexistent ones to even appear. ? The more players that play in each country, the more keys they get. If we didn't do that, then there would be no incentive for you to bring more players from your country to play with! If we don't distribute by country, then players from countries that are already active on ESL would have an even more enormous advantage. Our local partners will hopefully be announcing extra cups and promotion to give their local players more chances to play. The arrangement from Blizzard was a little last minute, and if we didn't go live now, everyone would have to wait one week or even longer to get keys. | ||
