If you read the Latin America press release you will understand why we have so many events there. It is a big tour with pre qualifiers and a big KODE5 Latin America Final in Peru where the winner will represent the whole continent in Moscow at KODE5 Global Finals 2008/2009.

Do we get a qualifier then? You guys have screwed us year after year with this.

Why did we screwed you? All KODE5 qualifiers are international which means that you can attend for example at the one on the USA and/or Latin America.

That is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

Americas qualifiers have been online the past few years...with no stable anticheat...

And why in the world would you have 'international qualifiers' so far away from the majority of NA gamers? Do you have any idea how far Latin America is from Canada? We don't live in Europe here, you could fit all of Europe in less than half of my country...traveling isn't as easy for us, KODE5 should learn that.

KODE5 USA hasn't been online in our previous season and won't be online in our current season either. So who is dumb now? :) If South America is to far for you you can try to attend at KODE5 USA instead.

One, I am not dumb, at least I can speak proper English.

Two, I was an admin the first time KODE5 used Quake4, it was horrendous, KODE5 has only ever failed here in NA.

Yes, you held a LAN last year for DOTA and CS...congratulations. Now if anyone here actually played DOTA you would have been all set.

What if players that want to attend get turned away at the border? Sure its not your fault, it happens at many other events, issues with Visas and the such, but it could have been easily prevented by giving us a qualifier instead of telling the people in the second largest country in the world to just 'travel to another qualifier'. Or are you going to provide travel for all the players who want to attend?

Obviously you can speak proper english as is your first language. How is your German? :) Also our last year USA Final was at CES is Las Vegas and had nothing to do with DotA at all. Maybe you mean the pre offline qualifier we had at NewEgg in California. It is also new to me that people from Canada need a visa to visit the USA ;)

They don't, but that does not mean they cannot get turned away. My entire point in all this is that you, KODE5, and many other events treat Canadians, and now most NA people like trash. And it is upsetting to say the least.

I don't agree with you. We offer a KODE5 tournament in the United States and invest alot of money. Also ESWC and WCG had their Grand Final in NA (San Jose & Seattle).

No, investors invest a lot of money in you, then you run crappy events.

ESWC was an epic failure, it was so bad, they lost nvidea as a sponsor.

WCG will not be coming back.

Not to mention I don't care about the US. They at least have their own events and stuff. Canada has one, ETS, and its not even that good.

Thomas ignore this famsyy guy, he's quite the troll.

yeah, figured that already :)

These stops are the ones we will have in KODE5 2008/2009.

So no more will be announced?

Exactly!

After our (Bravado, South Africa) performance vs SK we were looking forward to this competition but obviously no stop for us. =( Sux so bad, half the countries that have been choosen have smaller communities than SA.

Unbelievably ridiculous.

Can't say much more than that. As much as I respect the right for Thailand and Vietnam to be there... the fact that so many more developed esports nations (uk/south korea/finland/and more) have been omitted is quite surprising.

Im good thanks o.O
