QWC ESL FUCKUP

[3:02 PM] DJ BLAZKOWICZ: @SyncError do you know why esl isnt allowing non-eu/na regions to participate when official announcement on bethesdanet suggests otherwise?

[3:03 PM] SyncError: No, but we can find out and resolve that. You need to be reaching out to @ZeRo4 though concerning this, not me.

[3:03 PM] DJ BLAZKOWICZ: thanks!
[3:04 PM] Crimson Flare: I still don't know your individual roles.
[3:04 PM] SyncError: It is my undestanding that anyone can sign up and play regardless of your location (with maybe the exception of North Korea & Iran).

[3:04 PM] Gurkan: no quakecon for me then :/(edited)
[3:05 PM] DJ BLAZKOWICZ: esl just kicked everyone from those regions from the signup list

[3:05 PM] SyncError: You have to play on NA servers if you're from Latin/South American and participating in the NA Qualifiers, etc.
[3:05 PM] SyncError: shrugs.
[3:05 PM] Crimson Flare: Racist ESL is racist.
[3:05 PM] SyncError: Hey now.
🙅🏿1
[3:05 PM] son1dow: what does ESL have against Iran
[3:05 PM] Crimson Flare: :stuck_out_tongue:
[3:06 PM] DJ BLAZKOWICZ: this is a direct quote from esl discord: Hello everyone ! We would like to let you know that the NA qualifiers are meant only for NA & CA based players and the EU qualifiers are meant only for the EU based countries. This means that for these qualifiers, we won't be able to accept players (or teams with players) from Asia/Africa/Australia/Latin America. We have already removed those that were from the mentioned regions from the qualifiers and we hope that you will help us spread this message so it reaches them and the other players from these regions that were planning to participate. Many thanks and happy fraggin'!

[3:06 PM] Sulit: Any way to force esl to do Asia Oceania and south American qualifiers then?
☝🏼1
[3:06 PM] son1dow: also, what about Qatar
[3:06 PM] SyncError: Welp, I dunno, but this isn't something I was aware of. But it's not my area.
[3:07 PM] Sulit: Maybe instead of 4 qualifier days for na/eu cut it down to 3 days each and 1 qualifer day for the 3 other regions
[3:07 PM] SyncError: That wasn't our plan.
[3:07 PM] Crimsonland1: just got a call the other day at work from a guy working over seas at Qatar lol..... funny you mention that place
[3:07 PM] DJ BLAZKOWICZ: @ZeRo4 send help!
[3:07 PM] NoMercy: Qatar is fucked
[3:07 PM] Steej: @ZeRo4 plez
[3:07 PM] NoMercy: They got bigger problems than Quake qualifiers
[3:07 PM] SyncError: Give him some time, it's 7am here. :)
[3:07 PM] Crimson Flare: Why are you awake then, @SyncError?
[3:08 PM] SyncError: We're both still in LA for E3. I have a plan out of here in an hour.
[3:08 PM] SyncError: I'm at the airport.
