I posted on their facebook page and tweeted that email to Blizzard. I searched for an hour for a way to get in contact with Blizzard support . I found nothing yet . Your plan sound a lot better than what I did. I'm on board . There's also a thread I found on battle net . There is a link somewhere here. I posted there too . | ||

Seems someone in her group would be the right person to send a letter to. I'd email her directly (politely mind you since she might have no knowledge or responsibility regarding the details) and ask who we should reach out to as a community on this subject. If she defaults to community management you should let her know that we have already tried that and gotten an unsatisfactory response. My sense is that their group has bigger fish to fry than SCR or ASL so whoever is responsible for SCR/ASL is trying to look good by being extra tough so they can get promoted into another role.... aka standard corporate BS. EDIT (added so the mods here don't have a heart attack): Do not PM me or any TL user or discuss in this thread about what Amy's email or other contact information might be (or contact info for any Blizz employee for that matter). | ||

On the plus side, at least the Overwatch League is shaping up to be a massive failure. | ||

Do not tell us to move on. If you don't like that we're die hard fans, then leave. Second, is there some kind of petition we can sign or mass tweet @Blizzard that we could do? So far I only see complaining, but I want a plan to actually get rolled out so we can try to push the issue into the spotlight so Blizzard can try to see some reason. That is such a bullshit. I never understand why people tell others to move on. In the end we all want use our free time for stuff we enjoy the most. Why should anyone have less fun if theres the possibility to have more fun? I don't play SC games just watch the Korean tournaments, i play Arena FPS games. Mainly Unreal Tournament. It was released in 1999 so just 1 or 1,5 years "younger" compared to BW and we still play it. Yes, i also play its 2004 iteration which is also considered outdated by such people for sure, and also play the current game under development (unreal tournament pre-alpha if you want to google it). Yeah, the youngest game is the shittiest by far, so many of the few players left simply can't be arsed to switch. The reason we keep playing a 19 year old game is simply that is one of the best game ever made. Compared to its age it doesn't even look bad actually. obviously the game doesn't have more then a few hundreds players left, or maybe a few thousand worldwide. But we know where to meet (various places at discord and irc) so we can always get a game going. Thank god it doesn't have any centralized services that a company can shut down for financial reasons. So as long as any server company is willing to host UT servers, or somebody is willing to place a PC inside a server farm we will have the option to have servers and play it. They cannot take it away from us. So i can totally understand BW fans not wanting to move on. Some games are just timeless. As for financial view i don't understand why blizzard won't give a cut from that 100.000 usd/eur whatever. If companies find it too much then maybe the game is not in that state to claim this money. First i would help them to grow, than after they could get that money many times. Like a trial period or something. | ||

As stated by the CEO, ASL has been in the red, which can have multiple causes, but it is likely that profitability is one of them. That being said, the business impact that ASL has for AfreecaTV, potentially extents beyond the ASL itself, and can help boost revenue in other areas. It is not uncommon to make sacrifices on one side of the business in order to profit (more) on another side. What I suspect based on what is available right now, is that the intent is to make ASL profitable, regardless of the impact on other business areas. The absence of details in the "call for pressure" post makes me rather sceptic though. The more details that are made available to us, the easier it is to win the fanbase for AfreecaTV, and the easier it becomes to apply pressure towards Blizzard. Based on what I have been able to find on this situation so far, and in particular the lack of information in the post itself, or other sources, it is just as easy to say that AfreecaTV is making totally unrealistic requests towards Blizzard, and that they are solely to blame for the fact that ASL5 has such a hard time to get off the ground. The truth probably is somewhere in the middle. | ||

I really don't understand how your "love letter to the community" includes refusing 2x ATBs and now even an ASL. And that is just the stuff we know for sure. Another SSL classic + a new OSL might have also been canceled due to blizzard. Did you guys release remastered to let brood war die? | ||

I any case asking the fans to pressure someone for something is not the smartest thing to do... It reminds me of the "mail the sponsors" attitude in some other communities. | ||

So you're saying you registered on TL before it was created in 2006??? + Show Spoiler + I'm joking of course, cheers ^_^ Whatever is actually happening behind closed doors, just get your shit together so there can be more premier BW. | ||
