our lord and savior anime hater 101 is here

For those talking about cross-region playoffs, the logistics, time, and funding required to make that possible are insane. Blizzard is already devoting resources and time to OWL, along with other tournaments such as open division, trials, etc. It's a possibility but to be upset about it is to not be rational.

No Americans but because they know the true story of Comcast....

Mykl will lead London.

Overall from all said, we can't compare regions and there respective teams if there is no international LAN.

Zergling is on a week vacation, unfortunate timing.

He was just subbing.

As a New Yorker I'd love to have them here honestly.

Bias in this instance is not bad. People are expressing their opinion on seagull, that's it. The down/upvote option exists for this reason. It's not really fair to say bias in this instance, this thread is made for opinions to be voiced.

Thanks!

There is a reputable source involved there, it's not just rumors.

Likely but there is no 100% legitimate source. Not including rumors or speculation in these pieces.
