* We registered the tournament and requested white-list * there are no technical difficulty or isp issues * all other sites are accessiable, we're now watching mlg to pass time * have been contacting Blizzard by phone, email, and through our friends of friends to try to get it resolved. It's now 3 and half hour since tournament official start time. We still can't finish off round 1. | ||

I almost went to this but overslept and saw the post about if I wasn't there by 9 I wouldn't get to play. Sad to see that the event might not even go down anyway, but I would be even more upset if I had made the drive. lol I overslept as well I wanted to go | ||

 )Dustin: I think we're just excited to be a part of it. Esports has been played in a variety of different games over the years but our fans really took to StarCraft and Brood War, and really took off with that and showed us, and I think many people out there in the world, what eSports could truly be. It's just been absolutely exciting to watch what the fans have done with our products and all of the amazing amount of effort they put in, in order to make it work. And then for us, having seen that happen in Brood War, and then again in WarCraft 3, we just put as much effort as we could into making StarCraft 2 a platform that could hopefully be a very successful eSport which would sort of capture the imagination of fans and broadcasters around the world. When the fuck will Blizzard and Dustin realize that the reason those other games did well was because they themselves stayed the fuck out of it? Blizzards business-model of this nazi-like DRM called Bnet 2.0 is bad, their totalitarian EULA for SC2 isn't helping either. Blizzard is NOT a friend of Esport. If that was the case they'd stick to making the game and leave everything else up to the fans and people that know their shit. A yes to Esports is a No to Blizzard. To the OP I suggest you guys demand compensation from Blizzard for ruining the event for you. If you indeed had contact with them before the tournament and everything was in order it is clear that they fucked up. And if their fuckup hurt you guys economically in any way, have Blizzard pay. It's their 1984-like control of SC2 that is causing all this shit. | ||

All of those computers weren't on the same IP. Almost all major colleges assign a unique ip address to every computer on the network. Colleges own giant blocks of IP addresses for this reason. For a lan event like this, most of the computers are probably on one or two IP addresses. Blizzard doesn't like it when 20 accounts try to connect from the same IP. | ||
