So let me get this straight, as an Australian player I not only have to get up, or stay up through the night but even if vsing other Australian players, I have to play USE, despite the fact that USW gives about 100ms better ping. What kind of rule is this? EU vs EU gets to play EU, US vs US gets to play US, but we have to play the 2nd worst server choice (EU being the worst for our region), instead of literally ANY of the other better options? That's just amazing guys. Well done.

That's not on us. There's not much AUS players rn, most of the playerbase is from EU, NA anyways, so I don't understand why are you being offended? (Cuz it looks like you are). We're trying to do something good here, so.. Like I said, majority is from EU, and NA, and I don't see anything wrong in NA vs EU playing on either NA or EU servers, but I seriously doubt any team either from NA or EU would play on AUS servers, don't get me wrong though. So far, not a single team from AUS applied for our previous tournament, nor this one, but if you can gather 5 people, probably we can work something out about it.

As Steffzor mentoined, at least we are giving you a chance to compete, its up to you.(we could just run on EU servers and we would have tournament)

If it somehow AUS vs AUS happen we can always discuss about it.
