Hello, I am sitting here with our head admin for CSGO. I do not have great
news for you, unfortunately, and I am sorry you were disqualified. Here's how
we approach this case based on our rules:
When signing up for the qualifiers here:
https://play.esea.net/?s=events&d=register&id=156 you could see the regional
distribution pointed out where we list all countries and which regions they
should play. What's important for Taiwan is that it's not listed in any of
Asia's sub regions here. Both the rulebook and the regional distribution
document
(https://eslgfx.net/media/lo/csgo-major/IEM_Katowice_2019_CSGO_Major_Region_Distribution.pdf)
state that if your country is not listed, you should contact ESL
administration to seek clarification on which qualifier you should compete in.
There is the inevitable question that follows: why is Taiwan not listed as a
country? For this rulebook ESL used the United Nations list of countries as a
measure of determining countries and regions. Please note that I have no
interest in discussing global politics. I am merely pointing out how we came
up with the list of countries.
Please feel free to DM me here on reddit if you want to have a further chat.
哈囉，我和我們 CSGO 的主管一起坐在這裡。不幸的是，我沒有帶給你好消息，也很抱歉
你們（指SadStory）被取消資格。這是我們根據規則做出的判決：
當你在這裡報名的時候，你可以看到我們列出的所有可以參賽的國家/地區和他們應該要參
賽的預選賽。重要的是台灣並沒有被列入任何一個亞洲的子區域。賽事規章和各區域相關
文件都說明如果你的國家沒被列入，應該要跟 ESL 管理部門聯繫確認你們應該參與哪個地
區的資格賽。
接下來這個無法迴避的問題：為什麼台灣沒被列在這裡？在規則書中，ESL 使用聯合國列
出的國家作為國家和地區的分類標準。請注意，我沒有興趣討論全球政治議題，我只是在
說我們如何列出國家名單。
