Assuming you ever do something other than play sc2, you very well might want to have them. It's saying you should use them in sc2 that's the problem. | ||

this post is so full of knowledge i dont know where to begin. Its cheating because using anything to do more than 1 seperate thing at a time = cheating in blizz ToS example = 1 button trains 9 marines, instead of you hitting a 9 times thats cheating in blizz ToS | ||

It gives you a litle advantage, if at all. And to tall those Steelseries haters, there are more keyboards out there that let you use Macros besides the one in the video .. I'm pretty sure that if you said "i'm not promoting that unless you get blizzard to approve it" wouldn't get you fired. stop being stupid | ||

It's maybe worth noting that anyone who posted a tutorial on how to do this on TL would I believe be banned instantly. ....and if Steelseries failed to have something in the contract that required Grubby to demonstrate the capabilities of their gaming peripherals in commercials, then THEY would be incompetent negotiators. | ||

It's not a big deal, but he is responsible for what he does. Nobody is holding a gun to his head in that video. The macros are cheating and he is promoting them. I'll clarify that it's macro cheating, but he's still promoting a form of it. I think it's at least slightly dubious for Blizzard to sell macro keyboards when they don't allow them in their own games, but at least they don't blueprint the actual macros needed to cheat. | ||

Based on their replies to the Youtube video they don't even know it is against the ToS to use 3rd party programs or files. he is being sponsored by steelseries, if he doesnt do what they want him to do, then he may have lost the contract, which he wouldnt want as he would then lose money. | ||

Aligning yourself against Blizzard isn't the smartest thing ever as we've seen with the korean bw scene managers. | ||

That being said, it is a major FAIL from Steelseries to promote something that is against Blizzard's ToS not only in tournament, but also in ladder gaming or custom games. Moral of the story? Grubby made some money, Steelseries' credibility has been hindered, commercial will be removed soon. That still doesn't justify it. He, as a professional, should know that this is cheating and should not support it in any way... | ||
