my educated guess is that since they stopped broadcasting games that actually had proper esports scenes (lol/starcraft), they believed that lesser games that they still broadcast like dnf/fifa/kartrider would benefit from 27 inch monitors. | ||

I wonder how hard it would've been if they removed a 24 inch screen from the practice room and put it at the booth. While I admit that I don't know everything there is to know about monitors and computers, I find it hard to believe that it would be any more difficult than it is for any of us to set up a monitor. I don't think there is any discussion necessary about how difficult it is to move a monitor from one room to another and plug it into an outlet and PC. | ||

I don't think there is any discussion necessary about how difficult it is to move a monitor from one room to another and plug it into an outlet and PC. Sure, I don't disagree with what you wrote. Granted, I was wondering if they were locked in place so to speak, but that wouldn't make sense either so I'm gonna presume they just wanted to keep it consistent, aka the first player of the group played on 27" so you have to. Reminds me of what happened during ASL3 and the newest BW patch at the time. Terrible for Stork and anyone else who didn't feel comfortable with a 27", and I don't agree with lying about the rules either, but hopefully won't happen again with Stork speaking out against it. | ||

From personal experience, playing Brood War with equipment that I'm not used to has a pretty big impact on my game-play. Playing with unfamiliar equipment probably also affected his morale. It doesn't sound like a super big deal that Stork was playing with a monitor that was larger than what he was used to but every small advantage counts in Brood War. | ||

And they managed to adjust using window mode or resizing the screen, so did stork. I don't know why he wasn't able to do so this time. Probably because he had time to set up his equipment correctly and to adjust to the difference. In ksl he only noticed when he was already on stage so he didn't have any time | ||

I guess that means Blizzard is also partly to blame for not having a representative available for a tournament they run.. | ||

 I found very interesting the evolution of the relationship between players and tournament organisers and the state of KSL production. Shootout to Stork for calling out Blizzard on that | ||

Did you just ask how can Blizzard have an employee care more about BlizzCon than this? I mean, I love KSL and everything but come on. BlizzCon is the biggest concern for Blizzard at all times. Also, I think we should get used to this. Blizzard doesn't have a ton of StarCraft esports people left. | ||

Blizzcon being the biggest concern for Blizzard makes sense. But having the guy in charge of a tournament not being able to be in charge of the tournament doesn't. They should have delegated the task to someone who didn't need to be at Blizzcon. | ||

Kinda my point, there's not that many people left to even do that. But this is all besides the point: It seems more likely that someone made a bad call and blamed it on a Blizzard rep who wasn't even engaged at the time, thus it seems like someone is covering their ass. | ||
