It's a travesty, really. The ajae and KCM leagues are nice competitions but I'm longing for some grander tourneys.

I like how in SC2 after GSL ends next season starts almost immediately but here we need to wait like months for nothing.

They don't need confirmation for 1.16 itself. But they need confirmation for tournaments exceeding a certain amount of prize pool. ATB2 will certainly do so. So now Blizzard could say: Your tournament is big so you need permission and if you don't use 1.18 you will not get it.

I'm not entirely sure how it works but past tournaments in SC2 have shown that tournaments with low or no prizepool don't need Blizz permission (or is it that Blizz doesn't care about small tournaments and just don't bother to 'sanction' them).

God I miss the days when devs didn't give a shit about eSports. Ever since it has turned into a giant marketing campaign shit like this has been happening. Blizz didn't care much for most of Brood War's life time, and now orgs need their permission? We have known that this'll happen for what, 6 weeks? That means that Afreeca has been planning it for 2+ months, I doubt that they only tried to contact Blizzard now. Rather than shoving their bugged patch down peoples throat they should focus on making sure that remastered plays exactly like the original and be glad that companies like Afreeca are willing to throw tourneys in the first place after what happened between Blizz and Kespa/OGN/MBC.
Kinda reminds me of how a Sonic League (finals?) almost didn't happen because Blizzard suddenly figured that after like 8 seasons they'd also like to have a piece.

I just really hope that this can be resolved and ATB Season 2 can start ASAP, really miss my dose of offline BW.

Why does Afreeca need permission from Blizzard to setup this tournament when SC1 is now free?

My guess is it has to do something with Remaster, maybe the release is around the corner?

In other thread it says that the Remaster will be released on August 14th. So there is still month and a half.

Yes, they'd need permission.

Because they have to get a tournament license to broadcast and run the tournament.

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.

It's not just the prizepool its 10k for " prizes, prize money, salaries, travel and accommodation stipends or reimbursements, and appearance fees paid by organizers and sponsors to the players, teams and team owners, for participating in the competition "

But thats pointless because "not exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000 USD) or the equivalent for all of the events organized or hosted by you during the last 12 months pursuant to this Community Competition License;" so they'd need a license no matter what as I'm sure with the individual leagues they're way over that threshold.

And it's usually about what, 2 months till the final?

Curious mostly because I want to organize a larger statewide/regional SC: R LAN, and think it would be nice to combine that with an ASL finals viewing party. I realize I can't get exact dates, but knowing I'm dealing with October vs December is certainly nice!

So right now we're really thinking Blizzard is going to make everybody wait at least 4 weeks for release in PC Bangs before ATB2 can start?

Obnoxious move.

Yeah, really sucks. It could have been a lot better if they didn't touch ATB and start ASL4 with Remastered, until release ATB could've ended.

Looks this way. Terrible move by Blizzard, extremely disappointing.
