So Danny13, we will meet at last /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

ps. I dont think Sweden will have a representative since their qualifier fiasco.

 

What happened at the qualifier in Sweden?

Group D looks really tough, can't wait to play all these strong players!

 

Please cut me some slack. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif

 

They decided to have the qualifier in Skellefteå in a LAN there. The place is roughly equivalent of north pole. Its 12 hours from Stockholm and over 20 hours from south of Sweden (where for example KiwE lives). They gave the information of the tournament 2 days in advance. In addition with "If there is not enough participants the tournament might be cancelled". They haven't answered any additional inquiries about anything WCG-related the whole summer.

As a result, no good VF-player bothered with the whole thing. The qualifier was supposed to have been last weekend, but we havent heard anything about a VF qualifier being organised.

ps. For extra fun, click the finnish flag icon in the link above (blue cross, white backgrnd). Thats supposed to be official WCG site of Finland.

I've had contact with WCG Nordic and a WCG qualifier in Stockholm might still happen.

 

That's too bad Myke~ /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif
And Taiwan is the same as Australia... /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/crazy.gif

 

i think im gonna buy a ticket and go to this anyway

 

Hong Kong is not sending anyone too, So I am out. Good Luck Danny, Tetra and Adam!!

 

Do we know who the Japan rep is? I took it as a given that it would be Itazan, but then I heard that Japanese wouldnt have done their qualification yet? Did they do a separate qualifier to Asian championships?

ps.

Lol, theres like 4 VF players total in Finland, I guess its me who should be cut some slack /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

 

i wonna play to the tournament, can i partecipate?

 

Legaia,

Dio santo devo qualificarti, questo e un torneo serio, non e che ti puoi presentare li e vincere. Manjimaro ha dovuto vincere il campionato dela Finlandia per qualificarsi....

Se tu sei il piu bravo d'Italia, forse ce la fai.....

 

Hey peeps. Anyone know what the prizes are for this event?

ok, il punto è che mi piacerebbe provare a fare almeno un torneo azz visto che di italiani che ci giocano sono tanto tanto pochi... quindi di solito gli altri di altri paesi gli trovo dalla 1.00 di notte in poi il che non mi da la massima lucidità nel giocare come vorrei, e se continuo così non capirò mai a che livello sono gli altri e non potrò migliorarmi ulteriormente, è questa la cosa che mi da piu fastidio... cmq grazie per avermi spiegato come funziona, essendo nuovo non potevo sapere che prima stava tutta una serie di incontri con compaesani. Grazie.

Cmq cosa dovrei fare esattamente per essere ammesso a questo torneo? di certo non conosco tutti gli italiani che giocano a V.F, quindi cosa devo fare?
