That would be quite a pickle. And no, I don't think that'll happen. except blizzard allstars isn't going to be a competitive title. | ||

Also willing to bet that Blizzard does not want to dive into that field to hard. There are some DEEP(Valve = SteamMoney + Riot=SKINS!) pockets fighting in that space and Blizzard has enough going on with SC2. | ||

It was intended to be released with HotS, but was delayed, if I remember correctly. I don't think they're going to do much with it either, other than trying to take advantage of the hot genre. I said that in the original post. But I haven't seen any definite statement of their intentions anywhere. | ||

I can't watch it right now but the title says they would love for it to be an esport. | ||

Now I'm super worried about what will happen if blizzard doesn't change their plans for dota esports and riot strikes back at both all-stars and sc2. A war between the game companies forcing exclusivity against eachother would be very bad for everyone except the game company that wins. What if blizzard tells teamliquid to not cover any mobas except blizzards or tsl 5 won't get a licence and their players will be banned from all tournaments? Scary! | ||

That forcing exlusivity against the competition was a natural and expected thing for a buisness to do and that it will benifit them to do that with little chance of backfiring? I think it is very likely that buisnesses will do things that help their profit and marketshare. Why would riot be so willing to blacklist valve but not blizzard? | ||

Riot would be trying to damage an established competitor. They're basically equal rivals. Blizzard would be risking SC2 in an effort to unseat either a single extremely strong competitor or two top dogs, depending. Starcraft-as-eSport will always be more important to them than their mod-as-eSport. | ||

I probably shouldn't respond to your question on this thread and get off topic, but just to set the record straight, Riot WILL NOT be forcing organizations to be exclusive to League of Legends. I'm not sure where this rumor started, but that's exactly what it is, a rumor. | ||
