All Chinese pros play on Korean ladder and all the matches are played on non Chinese servers. was WTL assisted/funded by netease at all? i feel like that'd be the main issue. my main concern is the wc3 scene; although with players slowly shifting from netease to war3 champions + the community picking up the slack with the absence of WGL over the past year has eased these concerns slightly. | ||

Blizzard can do whatever they want in most countries in the world. China is the one that's been tightening down on games, including limiting students' online play time to one hour a week. 8PM-9PM on Friday, lol Also, Steam doesn't connect from China anymore. But let's immediately blame Blizzard without proof Well, the proof is everywhere, if you read the news... Check Bloomberg (if you can think of any other source that is more trustworthy to you, check them instead). Blizzard asked for a higher cut, a prepayment of two years, and data from millions of Chinese users. And what is wrong with China asking Blizzard to get a license? Maybe Blizzard can "do what they want in most countries", but that certainly doesn't include China. If Blizzard wants to keep making money from China, then play by the rules and show some respect to the counterparty and long-term partner, Netease. | ||

Almost entirely self funded by Scboy alongside sponsors. | ||

In other countries Blizzard gets 100% for the products they make, since it's their games. Why should some Chinese company get a big cut for doing just user registrations and running a server? I've signed up in China, it's nothing different, it just checked the government id. That company does nothing to deserve a cut, considering Blizzard does this feature in Korea themselves to satisfy local laws for underage people | ||

Blizzard choose to co-operate with netease at the very beginning ,but not to run a china company of his own. 2. I know lots of china players buy both china-server-sc-re and korea-server-sc-re. Maybe the players not the big companies are the victims. | ||
