Ok so let's start somewhere in september. The WEG-qualifier date had been set, the WEG-start date had been set, but the Swedish WCG-qualifier still hadn't been set. So I went to the WEG-qualifier without even knowing when the WCG-qualifier was going to be. Even before this qualifier me and alot of other swedish players told the admins that they should try to have the qualifier before WEG starts, we did it several time. When the admins had picked a date(which was after WEG had started), all the wcg-players wondered why, without getting a real answer the admins told us, they wont change. In fact it was 5-6/8 who couldn't attend that date, and we told them several times, but they wouldn't listen, or maybe they did, but they didn't do anything for us more than getting the playesrs computers with Wc3-TFT 1.17(france version?). I remeber there were two qualifications to the Swedish WCG-finals, one at Rixhack, and one at internet. This qualifications didn't make any sence at all I think, since there was only 2-3 players at the WCG-FINALqualifier which was qualified, rest of the players could play anyway, even if they lost in the first to qualifier. I even remeber FuRy at that time, who was together with Duck the best player in Sweden. He was kinda sad that admins wouldn't listed and also wanted the qualifier to be before me and Duck left to WEG.
Alot of countries have already have a qualifier for ECG/SEC. So now, when Sweden got their spot to ECG/SEC, they wont have a qualifier. Why? "Because we think it's best that way." //Swedish admin "rush". I told him the qualifier was 4 months ago, 5 months when ECG will be held, but he still wouldn't realize that they maybe should have a qualifier. I asked him, if top 10 Swedish wc3-players wants a qualifier, wont you respect that?including the winner FuRy since he is top 10 for sure) He answered me with "Den där frågan har du svar på om du läser lite :) Jag har inte tid att prata med dig längre", which means like "You have an answer to that question if you read some(from our conversasion I guess) :) I don't have time to talk with you anymore". What I understand, the answer is no, but to be sure, I asked him again, same question, don't you respect if whole top 10 wc3 in Sweden wants a qualifier, yes/no? I told him to answer when he got back,but he didn't. Although I saw he looked at my profile 10 hours ago, here at SK-gaming, but he couldn't do his job as WCG-admins and answer a simple yes/no question. (btw I left my computer on over the night and he never answered).
I don't really see the point in having admins like this, we talked for a long time, and he asked me questions like why should we have this qualifier. I told him the qualifier was 5 monts ago, players getting better, and since they didn't respect us back there, they could do it now. I even said I can get an orga everyone trusts, and I can get a café we can play at, but he didn't give me a chance. I said we can have the qualifier online because of GG client which removes the delay, still no. Whatever I said, he said no, why? Because "they"(him?) thinks it is best. So why do I write this? I think it's best to let you know...
(don't make comments on english and so on, I will correct it when I get home, have to run to school now, cya)

@ #2: there's nothing wrong with making authorative decisions, as long as you are able to back them up with good arguments and logic. No one ever got any wiser from ppl saying "because I said so". Just the same as you can't convict someone of a crime "because he is guilty", without saying the deed
EDIT: OFFLINE ofcourse! :)
nah but serious, a online qualification is never wrong imo, it doesnt take alot of works and its only good for the scene.

But seriously, a qualification is never wrong imo, but not a online one. Its pretty serious business and despite the fact that you can play very decent online competitions in WC3, the only way to seriously measure who should go is by a offline event.
1st. In Sweden, as in all other country’s we have qualifier in all games at the same time. So if two players can’t go there is always backups. There is a few wc3 players in Sweden after all. Off coarse we try to fit so everyone can participate but renting local and all that stuff makes it impossible to change such things. WE are off course very sad that not everyone can’t participate but that is the sad world.
For the 2nd I told you many times we will not have a qualifier because we take the winners of 2005 qualifier like in the majority does. We feel that is the best way. That is the reason that I told you as well. Please let me know a country that has new qualifiers for SEC06. Off course you think your alternative is better then mine because it’s you. This pie throwing action you got is similar to the childish act you showed me on irc. Very sad that you just can’t accept like everyone else that this is how things work.

I had a good and valid reason. Thing is SaSe would not accept anything and was acting blind when I told him good and very valid reasons.
And BTW the players on the swedish qualifyer where in the online quali and at rixhack so they where not randomly piced like you make it sound like :) Wrong there again m8!
i could attend the quali but i missed it, my own fault ofc, and later heard you even canceled the whole local and went to a internet cafe instead? not sure since i wernt there but anyways :)
"WE" who is we? You were the only one I could talk to, that's what another "admin" at IRC told me at least. In Bulgaria there was a new qualifier, Inso went to WCG, DIDI8 to WEG, they had a new qualifier, DIDI8 won, was played over a day, see my point?
I think my alternative is way better than yours because I back it up at least. The only reasons you told me, the "serious" ones, was that you thought it was better("we"). Childish act? I can send the blog to some random people and we will see who they think are childish. A player who's asking question or an admin who doesn't answer the questions directly.
Yeah ok, you are right about the last point, you took the players finnishing #32-#17, at the qualifier, sorry, you are so right, they really deserved to play.
listen my story...
i played a game for an esl league vs a player who was also manager and admin. I win the first game (he had 60 apm pfffff)easyly..
the next 2 games he had 150 apm and he won :O
i protested him, they found that he put someone else in games 2-3 AND HE DIDNT EVEN TOOK "1" PENALTY POINT FOR THIS...
Also i played again with a "rl friend" of him for the same league (he was orc with average 300 apm, using hotkeys 1 to 5 with much spamming selecting the "4" hotkey + many assign hotkeys).BUT in the games we played he had ud with: 150 apm, hotkeys from 1 to 4 , spamming selecting the "2".
After game his (real life)friend "zord" told me that he played (i got the screenshot in my profile).
I protested him and they rejected the protest, cause: esl head admin told me that :"My brother was siting behind him when you played... and you played with the right person"
He doesnt have even a brother....
zord has: 150-160 apm , uses hotkeys from 1 to 3 with spamming selecting the "2". also has low "asign hotkeys" (he plays ud, and he is real life friend of them...(and they play from the same internet caffe)
#21 i quit gaming
Greece will have a qualifier soon, while vank0r was the only greece @ wcg :)
guess they will be having it very soon sence SEC is in like 11 days :)
#24 no comment about #19? :)
france also has 3 or 4 good players so qualifiers make sense.
Gl SaSe hope Sweden gets its qualifier
It would be so much easier to win in Finland, only 1 good player in their way.
