While this may not totally kill SSL, it certainly fucks up everyone that had invested in preparing a pretty awesome finals and what was a nicely run tournament.

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.



Now do me a favor, and kindly get out of here with your clueless talk and ignorance.


Oh, I'll gladly leave. I appreciate your response; despite the overwhelming arrogance, yours is still one of the more level-headed replies.

While you're all busy circlejerking, remember that this thread and these posts are TL's response to the situation. You could have taken the high road, waited for the other side to make a statement and either stayed silent in the meantime or at least have taken a more civil approach. Instead, it's gone right to the ugly part - SC2 is killing BW, FUCK BLIZZARD, "we don't want SC2 fanboys in here", FUCK BLIZZARD, FUCK BLIZZARD. So mature. So manner.

Understand that I'm not taking any issues with you guys blowing off steam. I agree that it's very questionable what Blizzard did there. I understand passion, and hot-headed reactions regarding threats to one's hobby. But this thread is pathetic.


Go in a SC2 drama thread and see if you can find at least one mature respond there. I can tell you, you will not find one. And most SC2 drama threads are not about killing the only remaining last stand in high-level starcraft. And yes this is what I just wrote. SSL is the only tournament where we can watch professional play. Imagine taking away every major tournament for SC2 away (GSL, OSL, MLG, Dreamhack, IPL, Iron Squid, ESWC, WCS, LSC, etc.). You would be just as pissed as we are...

HAHAHA why don't you stop being a dick? Blizzard are shitting on someone's incredibly hard work, huge efforts, money, time and inconvenience, not for the first time. Goddamn it, they are so fucking insecure. Wankers, the lot of them.


This is actually a little heartbreaking. Did you see where he was going to host it? Did you see who he had commentating? This would have been just such an amazing event, and Blizzard come blundering in to ruin the day yet again. Anyone who can stick up for their side of this is living under a rock. And should be living under a bigger, sharper, heavier one. Fuck, fuck, fuck!

The finals will play out no matter what.
first off regarding my unskilled handling of licenses, and making you all, viewers and players, have to wait and for those ppl who put time and hardwork into helping me. I'd like to sincerely apologize.
Whatever happens I will resolve this correctly. I will try to run things as professionally as possible.
I'm sorry

again rough translation of new sonic post :l

The last part of it made me emotional and saw it wasn't translated, so I just took the liberty of doing it

Any sort of losses incurred from contracts and etc. associated with the tournament, I feel is my responsibility and will take care of it, [even though] I hate myself for it ㅠㅠ However, let's hope this isn't the end. Let's get everything approved officially, and get back up ㅠㅠ!

ah this should be added to the op too ㅠㅠ

Blizzard forgot Brood War is their own product, they should not promote rivalvry of the same franchise, even if they WANT it(so more people will buy newer stuff = SC2), they still shouldn't do anything for simple PR sake.

Imagine this, Blizzard HELPS Sonic Starleague organize finals. Fuck this is PR win, Blizzard cares for old and for new. Nah nah nah. Hots coming, no distractions.

Believe me, I've felt this way about Blizzard for quite a while now. In fact, since last time they pulled this kinda shit. Licensing... Hah. Miserable twats.

ahem.. just in case some SC2 users who feel sympathetic DO make their way over, let's be on our best behavior... no need for BW vs SC2 animosity here... it's an entirely separate issue so we'd just be spitting in our faces by belittling SC2 and its fans..

Yea, given my current irate emotional state your seeing the nastier side of me.

While you're all busy circlejerking, remember that this thread and these posts are TL's response to the situation. You could have taken the high road, waited for the other side to make a statement and either stayed silent in the meantime or at least have taken a more civil approach.


My point here is It literally doesn't matter what blizzards statement is. There isn't anything they can say other than "oops, wrong tournament" that could make the situation acceptable. It's a massive dick move no matter which way you slice it. This is a pretty damn big deal for the BW community, and in this case its moderately analogous to questioning people for cursing out their sister's rapist face to face. Yes, that's overly dramatized, but it's pretty analogous. BW really is that kind of meaningful for many of us here and this is a serious, serious blow.

Instead, it's gone right to the ugly part - SC2 is killing BW


Not reallty.

FUCK BLIZZARD,


Yep.

"we don't want SC2 fanboys in here"


Not neccessarily

FUCK BLIZZARD, FUCK BLIZZARD.


Yep

So mature. So manner.


I agree, but I don't really except manner or maturity here. If you do I really believe your dramatically underestimating the emotional involvement so many of us have in the game.

I saw this coming from ages ago, but...

FUCK

WHAT THE FUCK

All you do is fucking sue, sue, sue, without realizing the opportunity of marketing. You can still fucking sell BW if you want. I'll buy that sucker just cause I already love the ICCup version. But HOTS? Fuck no. I play the Beta and it's fucking worse than COD on a Nintendo 64 using a PS2 controller.
