What the hell was blizzard thinking? I know they don't have to schedule around valve but it would have been wise not to clash both tournaments. I love watching sc2 tournaments but WCS is at least semi-regular while TI is a once in a year thing. Why not just move the League World tourney as well?

Last year we had over 100k people watching ingame without any problems. The qualifiers this year were the first time where I saw serious issues.

A huge gamble by Blizz to stop viewers and players from switching from Starcraft to Dota by competing directly with these viewers with Valve. Ultimately hurts both of their immediate viewer numbers, but Blizz hopes to have more viewers in the long run (since players didn't switch over) and Valve has less.

At least, that's their reasoning.

i think this is spot on.

'You wanna be the biggest esport event??? Let's see what happen when your twitch stream doesnt work tehehehe'
- not that far fetch considering what have blizzard become in recent years.

someone needs to email valve to pay off twitch.

Pretty sure Valve will pull away more viewers from SC then the other way around

anyway this is pretty amazing:

Its a single game instead of a compilation of clips of different games too, 54 kills, participant in 53 kills.

Tough to say, but that's Blizz's gamble. Ultimately, I understand their decision. They want to stop first time watchers from watching dota and staying with blizz. But yeah, it hurts both companies probably.

Please buff invoker icefraud.

Not tough to say at all.

Who's switching from primarily watching Dota to SC2 these days? No one, that's who.

This hurts SC2 10 times more than it does Dota. It won't affect Dota at all and TI will pull viewers away from WCS and it will decrease the already little faith people had in Blizzard.

It is a lose/lose for Blizzard.

I'm pretty sure my less than 10 game experience with Invoker would do amazing against someone with hundreds of games.... Yeah right. Tough hero.

Some people shoot themselves in the foot. Blizzard decided to shoot themselves in the head. Never go full retard has never been more approriate.

I'm still trying to understand what went through the heads of the people who picked the date... I don't see any benefit at all. Like even the argument to stop people from getting into dota 2 doesn't make any sense. This is literally the dumbest organiser decision of 2013. Unless sc2 has some deal with riot I really don't see a reason. God damn..

I'm really mad about this. I still enjoy watching sc 2 tournaments but TI3 is gonna be exhausting enough so I wont manage to cram in another 48 hours of sc2
