The change affects both Australia and New Zealand in that all future in game and on ground events, and also future leagues will be included in the SEA branch. For more information you can check out their official website which includes SEA specific updates.

Sounds like WG has sacked SEA(tard) Gaming.

Cool, Have they finished transfers from the US servers? As in there there won't be any more?

So thats a server in Australia right ?
Because Optus users have shitty connections to SE Asia and would prefer an American server.

Left this too late to edit initial post (stupid edit post limiter)

I'm privy to what WG has planned and they are seriously embracing e-Sports competitively.
You can expect this to take off with some way cool prizes for dedicated, competitive players.

I can't go into detail just yet, just wanted to add some additional info as one of said dedicated, competitive players.

When can you go into details? Can you offer anything else? Can you send an email to trog so ausgamers can post something really vague like "Our insider source has let us know that..."
