In my opinion no it should not.The current event is an exclusively Euro only event.Not a single USA club can play because no one cared enough to line up any USA servers "before" the event began instead waiting till days into the event which was to late.
This is not ESL,Ecliptical Realms has always been a place for fair and open competitions and events.To expect any USA club to have to play an entire event on all Euro servers in my opinion is completely unfair.Had anyone asked people sooner then I know we could have found a club to lend a USA server for the event,but that was not the case.
RagE will not be signing up again in an all Euro event with all euro servers,theres no way we could get a fair event and its not worth playing.

I agree with you Visualizer, this SW shouldn't count. In my opinion in a case like this the event should be moved for a later date for as long as it takes to get servers for it. The whole event suffers a great lack of players and activity if either US or EU miss out on it. And as you mentioned, why even bother signing up if your only choice is the higher ping.

oh and also if this event does not get counted I want every Saberweek where there was just USA servers pulled from the stats otherwise its a double standard.

You're right, I didn't even remember that but indeed there were Saberweeks like that and they DID count. So then, it would be unfair if this SW was rescheduled.

I don't see much of a problem with it. Team Angel still wins more often than not on Euro, and we are an all-American club. It sort of spices things up

The first SaberWeeks (till 10 possibly) were with only USA servers I recall. Now we have an event without USA servers, I pitty that as well, but still our job is not to whine about it but to get USA clans in it with USA servers for use =) SaberWeek XX is something special imo =) So I really hope we can have a big event this summer =P and yes this SaberWeek does count

the only thing I had trouble with about this event was scheduling. It's right before finals / during graduation for a lot of U.S. players, so it's been hard to be active (as much as I want to be). That's no reason to void this event, though.

Ill try TDO but no promises... We love that Molly lady :P
And nice stores too :P
And almost getting hit by insane drivers (i almost did)
As for SW, I think we shoul wait and see what happens in SW20.. I mean some clans have been racking up 70-100 points off these events which really isnt fair but its how it goes

Try to add some players on your xfire next SW and just ask around and check if someone is on a server via xfire =)
