[INDENT]Im sorry if i have some grammar mistakes, but i'll try that everyone who read this blog can understand the points i'm trying to show[/INDENT]Two days ago, Valve announced the hosts for the new set of Minors around the world, where the upcoming talents from Asia, Europe, CIS Region, and North America will compete for $50.000 each and have their shot to earn a spot on the Offline qualifiers for the ESL Cologne 2016. With these announcements the escene was susprised with some drama around the Asia Minor, but it's not the only one who has problems, Americas Minor has similar issues and i'll try to explain it the better i can and maybe, if the hosts of the Americas Minor (Not announced yet) read this on time they can find a new format or maybe solutions to make CS:GO Global and at the end, complete their objetive to give a chance to the new scenes to develop and prove themselves around the world.In the last Americas Minor, hosted by MLG the slots were distributed like this:- 2 Slots for Invited teams.- 4 Slots from North American Qualifiers- 2 Slots from South American QualifiersThe idea was to include South America and give 2 spots for teams from there to compete in the Columbus Minor, but the two teams who qualified had VISA issues to enter to NA, then South America had no representation on the event, it was 7 NA teams playing and even the other South American team who was already in USAGames Academy was not allowed to participate because of Boltz. (USA VISAS are rather strict and difficult for people from South America, and it's worst if you dont have direct invitations from Valve or MLG to attend, thats what happened to both brazilian teams who manage to qualify and lost their slots due to the VISA problems:Alientech.BR andSiteCS)In this scenario, making the event in North America implies that the most of the South American teams who qualify surely will have VISA issues with at least 1 of their players, what makes it just pointless to go to a Minor without your full team. But surely NA has the most Capable organizations who can host properly an event of this size. Thats why i think that Valve should make 2 different Minors in "The Americas": North American Minor and South American Minor. In NA the amount of teams is big and they wont have any VISA issues, while in South America, you travel just with your passort, the borders between countries are open and the scene is big enough to have 8 great teams competing in LAN scenarios, for example in the Max5 Invitational, the tournament where even Luminosity and Tempo Storm attended, there it was just Brazilian and 1 Argentinian team, but did not include teams from Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, Uruguay, then thats why with that many countries with good teams competing the South American scene should have a shot too to prove themselves.South America itself has trouble playing among them, therefore the qualifiers that are made and normal leagues made by Games Academy are only achievable for teams from Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay, the teams from the "North Half" of SouthAmerica are excluded because they have 200 ms ping to Brazil, Then They Just can compete in North American scene With ~100 ms ping disadvantage, knowing this, it should be 2 different qualifiers in SouthAmerica for the South American Minor.How should it be:If you divide South America in two halfs, you can play:Panamá,Colombia,Venezuela,Ecuador,PerúAll this countries can compete in Miami Servers with ~60ms ping, what makes it playable and you can give this "North Latin America" Region 3 slots for the Minor.Brazil,Argentina,Chile,Bolivia,UruguayParaguayAll this countries can compete in Brazil as always, knowing that the Brazilian scene is the biggest in South America you can give 5 slots to this "South Latin America" Region for the Minor, thats almost the double of the other region.Then at the end, you'll have 8 teams from South America in their own Minor, with proper qualifiers, fair pings and not like the last America's Qualifiers for the Columbus Minor, where teams from Guatemala, Colombia, Venezuela, made it to top 8 but had to compete with 200ms in Brazilian servers against the Brazilian teams, who at the same time could not attend for the VISA's problem. that kind of conditions just made a big disadvantage for them. [Same thing happened in "The World Championships" Qualifiers][INDENT]This a personal blog and i just hope it can help to develop the scene and maybe, find more teams like Luminosity and Tempo Storm, they both had the chance to move to NA and made a name for themselves in that scene, it should not be like that, every region should have the same oportunities to demostrate that they can compete with any team of the world. I hope you can share this blog or upvote it, then maybe Valve or the hosts can read it and have insider info about the context that South American CS has.[/INDENT]
