Rumours of WCG.au Finals commencing this month have been confirmed after we contacted CBN Media and MC Internet today - the finals will be on the 24th this month, an official announcement will appear on the Australian WCG Website later today.

Talk of a finals on the 24th first circulated when our readers came across this Supanova post, however as it directly contracted an announcement made by WCG earlier, which is now no longer a news item, quoting a Sydney based finals in August, it didn't seem like reliable information - especially when there were no follow up posts on the official Australian WCG website.

Official WCG schedule

18th July - All state qualifiers (VIC, NSW, QLD) will be run on this date
24th July - 2010 WCG.au Finals

Like last year, the qualifiers will be limited to only Eastern teams with Midcity (MCC Internet), Beyond, and Elysium playing hosts to the qualifiers on the 18th.

A registration thread for the Queensland WCG Qualifier has already been placed up on ESAU, and a Victorian registration thread will follow shortly on DICE. As to who is organising the Sydney qualifier is a mystery.

	12. kEZ 05/07/10 05:26pm EDITED
	nvm, keen!
	13. BurtoN 05/07/10 05:34pm EDITED
	Distribution of invites? Victoria probably deserves the extra invite more than any other state, also it's quite possible that both Archaic and Immunity would both be qualifying from Brisbane. This would mean that although Vikings and x5 are great teams based out of Sydney, NSW is probably the state which needs the least amount of invites... in order to have the best spread of teams at nats i mean. Also, that link George points out TB as the location of the QLD WCG qual lolz.
	14. beedee 05/07/10 05:40pm EDITED
	lol Victoria will have 3 spots. 1x auto, 2x invite
	15. BurtoN 05/07/10 05:48pm
	yer i just mean like... 10 teams.. 3 Vic 3 QLD 4 NSW i'm guessing right?
	16. kordialyo 05/07/10 05:51pm

	17. redrum_hk 05/07/10 06:43pm
	why such short notice? and 6 days after quals is nats. thats a bit soon dont you think?
	18. jimNeso 05/07/10 06:43pm
	that's the way the cbn cookie crumbles
	19. lc_ps2s 05/07/10 06:48pm

	20. cobbie 05/07/10 06:49pm EDITED

	21. WAHEL 05/07/10 07:02pm

	22. cobbie 05/07/10 07:03pm

	23. beedee 05/07/10 07:18pm
	Still trying to confirm that, but not according to the information the cafe's were given (MC at least).
	24. ferg 05/07/10 07:34pm
	im really confused as to why its such a rush for this qual to be held.. they obviously haven't given much consideration to the fact that it is a holiday period at the moment, or maybe thats whats making them so inclined to hold it now, cheaper rates? i dont see how this is proffesional at all. probably another good reason why cs is dead, of course the ONLY other tournament thats held in Australia annualy which isn't in conjunction with beedee/dice has to be an absolute cake of a tournament, AGAIN (been caking it for a good 3 yrs now). <3 cbn <3 aus cs
	25. GoMeZ 05/07/10 07:40pm
	#24 hit the nail on the head, i know for a fact that myself , jim , beedee , dave and everyone else have been trying to play cludo trying to figure out when WCG was going to be this year. And now they just dump it on everyone a few weeks before the qual. It's all well and good running nationals like ECN and Dice Nats, but really WCG is the only event that actually goes somewhere, and they consistently fuck it up. I feel sorry for the event organisers who only found out recently as well who have to try and plan this shit in a few weeks. With so many people willing to help, why wont they let some of us into their Circle, we could of organised it all for them months ago.
	26. dreamR 05/07/10 07:45pm EDITED
	Nice work CBN and all involved really looking forward to another well run nationals GL all teams.
	27. rdd 05/07/10 08:12pm
	What went through their mind when they decided these dates?
	28. rumeboy 05/07/10 08:59pm
	money, rdd
	29. teddyt 05/07/10 09:00pm
	They don't know how CS works, they get more excited over comps like Fifa where you only need to rely on 1 person so its not hard to do it with this much notice. But to get 5 people organising time off work and flights/accom within 1 week of knowing if you're going to nationals or not is just so stupid.. I can't see how you can't talk to the CBN owner and try to change the dates to a few weeks later (at the least) If they see this many people angry about it maybe they will do something.
	30. GoMeZ 05/07/10 09:06pm
	The problem is, the money for the event comes from sponsors. So if sponsors are free on this certain day then that's when its run. This will never change, and it happens in all countries and even the national final. The thing that annoys me (and what can change) is that people from this community have been ringing up trying to get information for the past few months with no success. It's really not hard to see how they are going wrong, no1 that works for CBN plays CS, so you can see how they dont quite understand why we complain at these things. If they opened up the trust circle and let some of the CS organizers into it, things would run better.
	31. teddyt 05/07/10 09:12pm
	GoMeZ, I think I love you.
	32. carn 06/07/10 12:38am

	ZPR contacted Beyond yesterday to find out what was going on - he's assumed the role of running it now
	46. skills 11/07/10 05:55am
