I will keep this thread open for a few more days or so until we get a full complement of location and other vgc related threads up.
 
Crap, Atlanta's the closest to where I live, but June 5th is my high school graduation day... Guess I'll be sitting this one out. >.<
 
I'll hopefully be making a thread for discussion on the UK Qualifier in Birmingham, if that's all well and good?
 
@Jack - I know, it must suck for graduation to happen ON THE SAME DAY as your qualifier. I'm lucky, since I graduate THE DAY BEFORE NEWARK :O (My school has like ~500 kids and 50 in the grade, so they decided just to have the ceremony in the school itself). If anybody's wondering, I'll probably be going in in either a black shirt that says "Tomorrow is Yesterday", or a button up shirt, as well as a Fedora.

Just for you to know, I've emailed TPCi my complaints. We'll see if they are going to reply.

They did it. Here is their reply:

TPCi said:
The teaser announcement was translated into Italian to help spread the word about the events in Europe. With only four European Qualifier events this year, we selected locations that were major transportation hubs, with easy access to a majority of players. We attempted to place the events in these areas of Europe to achieve maximum coverage. There are definitely other cities that would have worked just as well, and they may be selected for events in future years as the VGC series grows.

As the VGC event series grows in future years, we will likely further refine the manner in which these events are held, as well as which cities host events. However, for the 2010 series, the event locations are set, and we will not be adding additional locations.

To me, it's a precompiled response.
It's not that if they didn't made the announcement in italian, less people would come. You still need to know english or the local language to attend at these events. We were two italians last year, things won't change now because there was an announcement translated (even worse, i won't spend any money this time BECAUSE of this)
 
I know I'm going, which location on the otherhand is currently up in the air.

Prepare for an invasion from Canada.

Also, I'll probably be going to Pheonix. I intend to come in first. zerowing is competing. Realistically, I'm shooting for second.
 
There is no need for this thread any more. Please make new threads for the various things discussed in here.
