"Relevant Gaming Company" CEO wants to say blizzard, but can't so he figured out how to say it without saying it. Blizzard really hates loyalty.

Afreeca makes enough money from streamers through balloons and advertising that they offset their losses from the ASL. There's also the need to provide a competitive platform for the players/streamers through tournaments like the ASL and ATB.

The intent is to provide players with a sense of pride and accomplishment for unlocking ASL5.

Yeah, pretty sure that's not where it's going.
I think esports is pretty nice.

sometimes it seems there is a huge disconnect between the blizzard developer/pr team and the business/trademark/rights/MONEY team. This is why big companies suck, money rules all.

Although I agree it's frustrating - infuriating even - I don't agree that simply saying "fuck Blizzard" is going to help. The ASL needs support, not someone who says bad things for them.

How do we best give this help? How can we best voice our concerns and see to that they see that there's many of us, and not just some personalities speaking on the game's behalf?

For instance, is there a mail adress we can send mails to? Not necessarily some copy/paste-stuff, as I reckon it's easy to think it's just a bunch of bots doing it. But if as many as possible state that they want to see the ASL happen, why and that there's still a following, wouldn't that at least be much better than simply being angry?

To ask wiser minds than myself - what can we do to increase our chances for a constructive solution, as much as possible?
It's ok. I still love you <3

This article is most viewed in esports section.

Something interesting is in this article.

1. Blizzard's license fee for 1 competition is 100,000,000 won.
(1$ = 1,000~1,200 usually.)

2. Every competition, host company usually spend 400,000,000won.
(Not including license charge)

3. New WCG which i mentioned before re-consider SCR tournament


It is not working out because Blizzard charges Afreeca like $89,000 USD for each ASL tournament. It is disgusting.

holy shit a thread where everyone isnt sucking blizzards dick. But in all seriousness, it will be difficult to convince a company to invest money in exchange for advertising in a 2 decade old game. That pitch needs to be amazing
If all men were created equal there would be no reason to declare it.

The thing is that they arent investing shit but charging 89k to Afreeca.

Can anyone explain to me what reason Blizzard could possibly have for not supporting this? I mean they make so much money, that what we're talking about here is just silly. It isn't like we ask of them to run 20 ASLs, it isn't unreasonable and SC:R just launched, so what's the deal?
