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?
I'll be rooting for Mong then, if only to see him try to look authentic winning that.

It’s Blizzard’s product so they can exert as much or as little control over their product as they see fit. You could try running a loop hole like that but a court would see through it pretty easily (assuming it went that far. No business would be silly enough to try it on with a massive company like Blizzard in that regard).

Well hopeful response from Blizzard at least.

Last time Blizzard "engage in dialogue with Afreeca", 1 year ago, ATB2 vanished.
Now, they "engage in dialogue with Afreeca" about ASL5...
SCR: Starcraft Rebutchered ?
|
ASL5 will probably end up happening and that's a good thing, but this will not be a total victory unless Blizzard realizes their current BW esport policy is hurting the scene. If this does not happen than this thread will reappear when the ATB gets canceled yet again or ASL6 gets stuck in negotiation hell.
and who knows what will happen then, maybe the afreeca CEO gets so frustrated he moves on from BW for good....

If we want to persuade Blizz we have to demonstrate ability to cause financial pain.

You can't buy loot crates in SCR.
New SCR players won't buy Overwatch, won't buy crates.
Tbh, the BW community would probably cry the loudest if suddenly lootboxes with cosmetic skins would be introduced into the game and how it ruins it ^^. Nice how you constantly bash BW community, and have a history of posts full of rethorical shit, but it is fashionable now come from SC2 forums to troll here. Gj.
Talk about triggered. If it werent true, you wouldnt have a reason to be so pissed off. Take a sip of ice tea to cool off.

When people were discussing what would be part of SC:R before release, a lot of people didn't mind if cosmetic skins would be part of it. In fact, the reception of the pre-order skins was good and the majority of people that posted in the SC:R thread liked them. Hope this helps ^^.

I dunno, from my perception the community seems to be split on it. And the ones that are in favor, are so only in condition if they dont have to see them. I saw a lot of posts how shitty the preorders skins were too.
@topic. It seems strange that Blizzard is replying so late into this drama, with 2 paragraphs that can be narrowed down to : " we are committed to scr" and no stance taken on the issue at hand.

I still don't know where which IP law really applies or whatever, they can TRY TO exert as much or as little control as they see fit, then what actually happen...

That's the best way to reply to a greedy powermonger like blizz, just treat it like an enemy. Ddos and hack them would be good.

Neither of those are productive and if you meant that in any way even as a joke you are an unhealthy person for this scene.
DDoSing is not a way to convince a company to do something.
Never suggest to do something like that again, please.

Oh I will just say what I want thank you very much. I don't mind that you have a different opinion and express it.

I don't really care about TL warnings just to be clear^^

Just to be clear, his "opinion" is that you shouldn't suggest objectively harmful, destructive, and un-helpful things towards the company that is responsible for making the game we all love, and you are claiming the opposite opinion, right?

Blizzard didn't make this game, it was their predecessors.
They just inherited the rights.
Korea made the scene we all love.
Stop worshipping Blizzard as if they were the gods that made the game. They actively are trying to destroy the scene for a decade now.

You can hate Blizzard quite a bit without going into what's basically cyberterrorism advocacy.
Better still would be to hate the laws that enable shitstains like them to do what they do. Same w/ Nintendo and their treatment of fans.

I want to google what Nintendo has done to their fans but I'm scared to find out and ruin my childhood love for the company.
