I would hate this thread to devolve into Blizz-bashing but it seems like they are really intent on making that happen. While I can understand why on a plane of theories it is a good marketing move to use a tournament to promote a new version of their game, I find it troubling that no employee in relevant departments has a humane touch to figure out how alienating their intended audience might be contraproductive to selling aforementioned new version.
On a more on-topic note; Zeus was absolutely great in Ajae Season 2 so it's too bad he's not in any lineup either.
The fact that Blizzard denies any SC1 just plain sucks and something like this is certainly alienating. The one time I could see eye to eye with them was when a sponsor for an event (remaining unnamed) sold stuff that broke the Blizzard EULA and so it made sense for Blizzard to say something. The argument for the importance of ATB is to highlight the second tier players and also supplement them with extra income outside of their, in some cases, less popular streams or day jobs.

Well, Blizzard want ATB2 use the latest version for Starcraft, not 1.16.1.

1. Blizzard will not support ATB.
(i mean that they wont give money to this tournament)
They just lend their name.
2. And Blizzard didnt aprrove ATB yet, and no reply.
So AfreecaTV just waiting until now. CEO said 'Patience'
3. Their original plan is destoryed now.
I cant understand why Blizzard didnt say anything.
Isnt it simple problem?..umm i confused now

What are the major issues that remain with 1.18.x that make the old version preferable? Haven't kept up with the giant change log

1.18 is pretty stable so far, at least for me.
The only issue people reports nowadays (from my friend list) is mouse lagging but everything else seems smooth.
|
So what's the issue now. Why don't they approve ATB. What's the big deal about it? Are people at Blizzard just being assholes?

Hmmmm the KR post says it's not a version issue, so the organizers just aren't getting any word on tournament clearance from blizzard for whatever reason
|
Well, also i dont know why blizzard do not give any words...
They dont need to give money, the only thing that they can do is just saying yes
|
That is weird and I hope Blizzard gives them the yes soon... Please Blizzard don't make them wait for Remastered before doing more events...

I have no clue what blizzard is thinking but this is a terrible move on their part! They aren't even being asked to provide any money, just a simple confirmation! They better not be trying to hold any and all tourneys till remastered is out, that would be complete bs on their part.
On another note, if they lower the prize pool below the $5k, atb should be able to run without their confirmation. Isn't that right? Hope they consider that route seeing as their plans are destroyed.

Maybe they can find a loophole and pay the players like $4999 and then pay them more in some other way 
Blizzard makes no sense sometimes.

It could just be that someone in the chain went on vacation at an inopportune time.

considering there is a supposed secret remastered summit happening in irvine right now, this would not surprise me.

I wonder what's the problem now... :/

If there really is a secret remastered summit happening, I hope it's going well. I also hope this gets approved right after... Missing not having ASL/SSL going on t-t.
|
Buck Flizzard, sigh... They just need to stick with 1.16, do they need confirmation from Blizz for that? Even Sonic has been doing his leagues with more than 5k without problem before his company grew, what is this travesty. I like how in SC2 after GSL ends next season starts almost immediately but here we need to wait like months for nothing.
