Yes and No.
It escalates the cost significantly - with no guarantee of success. And because of my additional security and background checks, it takes additional time (3+ Months) and is, of course, non-refundable.
I can travel to the US.
I just can't do it on a Month-and-a-Half's Notice, basically.
Which means the only way I can guarantee a position at Worlds is to Win a Regional or National. There is the ever so slightly slim potential of National, when and if its ever announced, - but when it comes to Regional, I will be running the Regional in Calgary should the Sentry Box be awarded it again this year - and thus, will be unable to play (I know its strictly allowed in the rules, but the event will be boycotted by some if that's the case - and thus, glory to the majority rather than the one...)
So yes. Possible, not Plausable, not happening anytime soon, and going to slink out of the topic now and let people be happy - and be happy for people, because Worlds should be awesome , and I certainly hope the day -and format- change will make it an even Bigger event that I can watch from the Sentry Box, and maybe even hold a Stream Kit tourney.
