I'm thinking about tweeting this:


The Starcraft fans are ready. The organizers and pros are ready. What's the holdup?
#saveASL5 #Blizzard


Will that help?

Making your voice heard is important, but it’s questionable whether any of this will help or if blizzard pr relays our outrage to business development.

"First – apologies for the delay on commenting on this. We wanted to conduct our own investigation into the context/authenticity of the original post before jumping in, and strangely it has proven more difficult than we expected. We note that the post was deleted almost as soon as it was posted. Frankly, it also caught us a little off guard, as we and Afreeca have been finalizing plans for SCR esports before, during, and after that confusing post.

So, we’re still trying to get to the bottom of this issue, but what we can say is, we are fully committed to SCR as we always have been, and to SCR esports. Nothing has changed in that department, and we continue to engage in dialogue with Afreeca so we can all get back to being excited about an ASL S5!"


Doesn't really tell us anything, but a blue post finally acknowledged this clusterfuck on battle.net forums.

Can TL staff member PLEASE inform Artosis, Tasteless, Day9, InControl, TotalBiscuit, etc. of what's happening?

Are they too busy living in their multi millionaire lifestyle to care?

They care dude, but they have a business relationship with Blizzard, and no one truly knows what is going on. It would be very unprofessional of them to make some sort of public statement when everything is up in the air. I understand your sentiment, but I completely understand why they haven't been vocal about it.

They don't have to make a definite statement. Just make their voice heard and demand information. A simple "the community is confused, please clear things up" would be enough in my eyes.

Tasteless was saying in www.twitch.tv/artosis chat that they are not allowed to comment on anything related to asl5 and blizzard. but we won a battle today, Blizzard acknowledges our blight. We will NOT go quietly into that goodnight, we will not vanish without a fight. BW will live on. BW will survive. today we celebrate our independence day. er i mean asl 5 and stuff

Some of the response to this thread and situation lead me to believe that SC1 is a community of 14 year olds, not adults that would understand why these things are difficult for blizzard to comment on. If that's true, then there's hope for Brood War because there seem to be plenty of young players.
