He was speaking as Blizzard and using their actions over the last 5 years to inspire an accurate dialogue. :|

Seriously blizzard? This is the way you treat BroodWar after all those years promoting your brand and honestly the only reason sc2 sell so good?

Fuck you

It's been a while since I've been to the Broodwar forums, but this thread is outright depressing. Not because of the sad news for SSL, but because of the reactions of the vast majority of posters in this thread.

All there is at the moment is one side of the story and so far there are four pages of massive anti-SC2, anti-Blizzard circlejerk, filled to the brim with hate and hyperbole. Sure, the current state of BW is nothing to be too happy about. But if this is TeamLiquid's reaction to the issue (or at least TL's BW crowd), then please, don't act surprised if TL and the "Broodwar elitists" are met with disdain everywhere else.

This may be one of the last great bastions of BW fandom on the web, this may be your little club to hang out and socialize, but you're doing an abysmal job of representing the oh-so "mature" StarCraft community.

I don't get it why the hell is blizzard doing this at the last minute of the event they could have told sonic from the beginning that there is no way you can stream broodwar for tournament usage any more without there being a license to do so.Simply put they tried to screw everything we have left and this means I will surely for the good of the world boycott blizzard products from now .They can have their !#@# up game all for themselves .

Well, you could have attempted to post a defense of their actions, but I guess that would require more effort and actual insight than a holier-than-thou meta-analysis of the maturity of the BW community, so maybe my expectations are a little high

Fuck Blizzard. Why are they even trying so hard to shut down BW and promote SC2 when they can't even make SC2 a good game to begin with.

I'm just emailing my reaction to blizzard in regards to this, you people keep doing what you do here.

gg sonic, your first mistake was to love BW, your second mistake was trying to talk to Blizzard.

How many other companies do this with a 14 year old game?

How many?

I think BW fans aren't happy when SC2/Blizzard is killing it hard and fast after long journey.

why does everyone always assume it's blizzard attempting to shut down bw for the sake of sc2, you realize they just went through a ton of trouble and a lawsuit to ensure that they own the rights to broadcasting scbw, and that people who want to do so, need to do so through the proper avenues, if this guy organized this tournament without obtaining consent (something that probably could've been done with little to no drama if he did it ahead of time like EVERY sc2 tournament does with a 5 minute online form) than none of this would've happened. But of course not, this is all about how blizzard is trying to kill bw, and how sc2 is a shit game. get over yourselves.


Thank you.

No one here truly knows whether or not this guy went through the right channels in regards to stream. He can't just say "aw c'mon" and then Blizzard "oh okay" and let him stream on whatever provider he wants for a game they own the rights to. They could be looking at losing sponsors and partners because of it, it's not just a backyard tournament this is a big one.

What does SC2 have ANYTHING to do with the rights to stream Broodwar?

Its just.. game broadcasts on afreeca.. just happened :l like back in the days when there were 1~2 sc streamers they just streamed ppl watched.. it was fun.. and then more ppl came along and streamed and eventually you have ppl like sonic setting up tournaments.. while it would make sense that blizzard would step in for like intellectual property rights stuff for the finals I dont understand why they need to go and attack nowcom and make all sc streamers die T_T im so so so sad..

The amount of brainless flame and hate is too damn high! :D To be honest you are not the ones saying what should they do with their games or how should they give tournament licenses, if you don't like it don't play it.

Hmmm, I'm especially interested in the specifics of the Nowcom lawsuit that Blizzard apparently just ordered.
