The Blizzard announcements will be made shortly. A Blizzard representative was going to contact Team Liquid to have them post on Blizzard's behalf in this thread, but that is a lot of work with no real purpose. The announcements will go out, again this is not an issue the NeSE is responsible for. Blizzard has a lot going on and this is just how the chips fell in this situation. We assure you the posts will be made, the only reason I have not been replying to everyone's post here is because we feel there is no point until Blizzard makes an announcement. It is clear some of you are legitimately looking forward to this though and for those of you that are, this post is for you. Thank you. Believe it when we see it.. | ||

Just curious to see how many players are signed up, or actually waiting to hear from blizzard. Also, have someone from blizzard posting here won't get people off your back. It will have to be somewhere on the official blizzard website, or people just simply believe it, its too easy to create new accounts. | ||

Don't even bother; this guy is constantly posting about how stuff is "in the works" and "coming" and how we just need to wait; I'm done following this thread. Even if it's not a scam, NeSE so clearly lacks the basic organizational competence to run a tournament of this scale that it's mind-boggling. What a professional tournament organizer who was in the right would do is:
In the unlikely event NeSE is legit, I hope you take the time to really think through how you interact with the sc2 community-- gamers and esports fan are the lifeblood of tournaments, and you need a good relationship with both to get viewerships, sponsorships, and a sustainable business model. Peace. | ||

Also.. wow.. registration rules that REALLY bother me: All players must register under their authentic Battle.net account E-Mail address. I get that you want to be able to report people.. but you'll have character codes and usernames.. If anyone within your organization (or outside for that matter) gets any of the combinations of the email addresses with people's passwords, anyone who uses a password similar on your site to their battle.net account immediately has their account's security in jeopardy. EDIT: The National eSports Event is a licensed tournament organizer for Blizzard Entertainment's Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty and no NeSE employee will ever contact you and ask for any private Battle.net account information under any circumstance. Lol.. but you already have.. In any case: I'm interested to see whether or not this is legit. | ||

Assuming it's legit, it's hard to get interested in something like this when the organizer has such a bad attitude. | ||

Unfortunately, first impressions are often lasting impressions. NASL has done a pretty good job with their organization (especially more lately), but a poor first impression has generated a legion of NASL haters that probably aren't going to go away for a long time, regardless of how well the NASL performs as an organization. I hope NeSE can avoid the same pitfall. Anyway, I do hope this whole thing is legitimate. I certainly want it to be, though to be frank, it sounds like its goals may be too ambitious to be realistically attainable in the near future, assuming that it is legitimate. | ||

Seems like we know our answer guys. This shit's obviously a scam. Too good to be true? It is! It baffles me why It's GoSu and SKGaming advertises for these guys, I guess money talks for anyone, no matter how horribly these guys are and will kill esports. | ||

If this tournament were legit and well-run, it would be GREAT for esports. I wouldn't hate on GoSu or SKGaming, they may not have done the same in-depth investigation we did-- and on the surface, this seems legit. Anyone can make a mistake. | ||
