He even managed to belittle the CEO of Afreeca acting like he has no idea what he's talking about.
Meanwhile the people with real power don't ever have to face or learn from the community because they think being spoonfed sycophantic pre-chewed feedback from the "community managers" is all they need.
I feel managed alright.

Things only keep getting worse it seems.
Where are the defenders now? Where is that aQuasc2 kid who kept coming here just to defend the poor multi-billion dollar corporation every time they did something incontrovertibly stupid? Oh right, he's not here because he never gave a shit about this game, he was just a Blizzard drone.
At this point the mental gymnastics required not to hate Blizzard would be so complex my brain wouldn't be able to perform them even if I wanted to.

“uh... we don't even know if that's really an official afreeca statemt. Sure we work great together with them.“
Sounds like a pr lie to me.
Some posts in this thread make me legitimately wonder, if paid influencers are posting here though.

You're saying blizzard's community guy didn't even manage to access afreeca correctly to find that post?
Wtf.

Ergh... LOL. *Bashes head against desk repeatedly*

Oh dear. Maybe one day Blizzard will file for bankruptcy and someone decent will buy the Starcraft license. Poor Brood War. It seems Blizzard hates SC 1 about as much as Microsoft hates Windows Xp.

If we were to be skeptical, when SC2 first got released, there were massive influx of new people here on TL that spent an awful amount of time rapidly defending Blizzard when SC1 fans try to point out the upside of BW's features/mechanics.
It wouldn't surprise me if some of them are paid influencer.

Nah it's not even astroturfing, just petty tribalism from nerds who are too attached to their hobby in an unhealthy way. That cesspit of a "forum" NeoGAF is the same way, just people who blindly and desperately lick whatever drips from the crevice of their corporate overlords, and when someone calls them out on the fact that maybe some of the things that game companies do might not be in the benefit of the consumer or the industry, they double down and say "please, sir, may I have some more" while flaming all dissenters.
If there's anything giving gamers a bad name, this SHOULD be near the top of the list in an ideal world: fanatical corporate apologism.

The answer is probably, Blizzard provides nothing, but has some demands (like fees, Remastered has to be used, Blizzard logo has to be shown).

Why not using 1.16.1 to host ASL 5, just give up using the remaster version.

How would that change anything? 1.16.1 or Remastered makes no difference to Blizzard.
As long as Blizzard own the copyrights and trademarks to all things StarCraft, then Blizzard can exert control over any & all StarCraft events at their discretion, even 1.16.1 events.

If you Google "intellectual property" that should give you a better idea.

For all the lawyers in this thread, can you host offline tournaments without needing Blizzard's permission if no money is involved?
And if so, what would the most likely result be if you hosted such a tournament and followed it up with a meaningless 100m dash that coincidentally has the same winner line-up as the starcraft tournament, and with a substantial prize pool?
