The trend of threads on TL.net to get attention.

Step 1) Locate some topic that you can use against Blizzard(If you cannot make one recreate a topic from the past).
Step 2) Convince people it is Blizzard's mad scheme to make millions off your hard work.
Step 3) Let the people know Blizzard is out to get them some more.
Step 4) Over react to the topic so other people will think it is a big issue.
Step 5) Claim you won't buy the game or that Blizzard is stepping on your rights.

Frankly I am sick of all the Blizzard hate on these forums. There is constructive complaining and then there is the destructive that doesn't benefit anyone except yourself for bringing to light a grave issue Blizzard is going to cause, but really doesn't affect most who use this forum.

This is a TOS it is there for legal action not for Blizzard to enforce on all of their customers 24/7.
Brood War forever!

they just dont want another kespa

i mean its their product, they "should" be able to do what they want with it, and if history has shown anything, they were kinda forced to take these measures. I feel like we can trust them as our benevolent dictator though, so i have no qualms

Translation:

We at Blizzard Entertainment would like to use this opportunity and some legal mumbo-jumbo to tell the world that we hate Kespa. We really do.

I think this is a good move by Blizzard and it's totally reasonable for them to require permission for something like Korean Starleagues sponsored by large corporations or other large sponsored tournaments like the Razor TSL for example.

I just hope they won't use this policy to crush or complicate smaller tournaments like the weekly Zotac Cups (and I don't think they will).

But this isn't about SC2. Its about battle.net. All they're doing is just saying, "Look, if you want to play on OUR servers for money, get permission from us."

It doesn't clearly say anything about doing a LAN either, which is pretty big for larger e-sports tournaments. This is not the end of the world... of starcraft.
EffOrt. That is all.

I'm going back to poker. They want to profit from anything they can, which I understand. What I don't like is the inability for TL (or anyone really) to host a tournament that rewards players with a cash payout. Imagine no HDH, no TLI, no altitude tournament. The future looks bleak.

How do you go about getting "consent" from Blizzard?

Does this mean if no consent is present, then technically I'm "raping" them of their money?

If you aren't making a large amount of money, Blizzard won't care. The benefit of shutting down an unsanctioned tournament would have to outweigh the legal costs.

You don't know what you are talking about. We have signed an agreement with Blizzard for our events for the past three years. It is a way for them not to have liability for tournament which use their products.

Nobody has the inability to do anything. This website is like 5000 chicken littles these days.

You all need to calm down. This doesn't affect anything at all. Relax and go play a UMS or something .
