Ever consider having an Asia/AU Regional Bracket as well?
There's nothing to indicate that this tournament will be inclusive enough lag and FPS wise to allow Asia and Australia to play alongside. The issues in PC highlighted how bad cross regional connections can be. Now you expect to 'reward' people from two specific regions, without thought to Asia/AU region?
 Its prob just a timezone thing, for tournaments you'll be put on a dedicated node anyway.
Its also a nice way to split it in 2 to format the matches  |

Its also a nice way to split it in 2 to format the matches ALSO to put a bit of rivalry into the mix so that the EU players might actually get a challenge from their US brethren now that they arent getting held back by them...  That I also don't get. CCP Shanghai runs DUST514. Shanghai is in Asia last I checked.
99% of the gaming community is in US/EU tho
Sucks but lesser of 2 evils |

Shanghai is in Asia last I checked. 99% of the gaming community is in US/EU tho THere's nearly 400 in TSOLE, Nyain San and other Asian Corps number in hundreds too, there are Australian Players not in TSOLE.... so yes, we aren't the 'largest' section of the community at large.. probably 10-15% at most... but ignoring 10-15% of a community as small and dwindling, and for that matter, especially from TSOLE, a very LOYAL community. Most of TSOLE has been here since Replication... and depite the slow progress, hold massive amounts of faith in CCP and DUST 514.
Ok ok 99% was a bit of an exageration, and the AUS/ASIA peeps are very much loved. But thats what i mean by lesser of 2 evils... can you imagine if they cut out the US  it wouldnt be a bit of disapointment... There would be a full blown Riot!

You can still play it would just be in a EU / US "match".
The trick is there just isnt THAT many AU/Asia corps, especially compared to the EU/US. Its understandable that CCP cant do it all. Im sure they would in a flash if it was feezable |
