thanks for proving my point.
how many years was that proven hacker.. Testie (the guy from Western Ontario) invited to Blizzcon only to get ROFL-stomped.

And by their own admission Blizzard has stated it is outside their realm of expertise.

This is just another example of Blizzard misdirecting the oversight of competitive events
unless of course you think Blizzard is doing a "great job".

In the end it comes down to this:

You're raging and blabbering incoherently half of the time, because Blizzard wants to change something that is actually beneficial to the scene in the LONG run, but creates a little bit of confusion for one region right now, and you then try any card to discredit their desire to improve the scene further with more stability.

You predicted that Blizzard would more intimately involve themselves in the scene by becoming a much more active regulator of several major leagues?

You have never ever said or even hinted of that Blizzard would make an announcement April the third regarding a complete league system change and that the league system overhaul a few days later would create confusion due to that detailed information of the overhaul of system in question was yet to be given out. Or did I miss something in your previous incoherent ramblings?

Nah, I think Blizzard has been doing a fucking terrible job, but they've put on competitive events before where the Korean players won. I don't know why you're calling out Testie when he beat Assem at the 2005 LAN. That's stupid. My point is Blizzard has put on competitive tournaments before that have been good, and you refuse to see that because Testie was invited?

I lol at you. I lol at you personally.

LOL no you haven't. You said blizzard was done with esports and wasn't going to host tournaments anymore. Oh lord man your posts are so gold due to how stubborn you are even when being proved wrong rofl.

This thread is the gift that keeps on giving. Only a few have twisted their original argument so much just to assure they were right in their own head.

checked your post history for the last 10 minutes. I couldn't find you saying this at all. Go ahead and prove me wrong.

I still disagree with your initial position. As much as you are hating on blizzard for not having their shit together and creating confusion, you are basing your premise on the lack of information at hand and fabricating scenarios that prove your point.

I totally imagine JimmyTryHard to work out a 'witty' yet futile comment now to refute the fact that Blizzard bought IPL :p
