thats pathetic from Blizzard...

Instead of doing stuff like this, they should fix the b.net and add promised features, because warcraft 3 players have 10 times better battlenet then we have.

I wonder what the limit is on MMR range on ladder.

Huk managed to get his MMR so high there are no players in playable range anymore.



However, I think Blizzard is within their rights to request account sharing not occur on a stream.

So instead of offering help in case where their own game is getting promoted, they threaten to ban. Seems about right.

Its just Blizzard enforcing their rules, which you agreed to when you installed the game, its completely understandable, might not seem right, but is understandable.

Not only sharing an account is normal (example : parents have 4 kids, and all of them want to play SC2, according to Blizzard, they're supposed to buy the game 4 times ? lolololol ), but TLO and HuK who are basically free advertising for Blizzard, should even have some privileges...

And it's not even HuK's fault if he can't get games with his account....

Yup but they dont stream the account sharing to 25k ppl.


I thought FXOpen uses one account for their streams? eventho its not 25k ppl viewing...

Oh, I see whats going on here. Maybe we all should calm down a little bit. Blizzard is ok with account sharing I think, just don't show it on stream. Thats a fair point from Blizzard, but still...

Blizzard certainly has the rights to enforce the rule, as it is int he ToS. Is iit right? No, probably not. To force HuK to spend 15 + minutes trying to find a game because of their crappy system is retarded.

Also, so if I interpreted the article correctly, he received a call from Blizzard and THEN HuK still stayed on the same account? That means that either:

1) He failed to inform HuK of Blizzard's warning or
2) HuK blatantly ignored the warning.

Whether you think account sharing being bannable is stupid or not, this was completely preventable unless either (1) or (2) is true.

I am not saying Blizzard is completely right in their acting either.

But they are not stupid, they know progamers (and other gamers) share accounts all the time. They just don't want to see this promoted on stream.

This would have been a simple WTF Blizzard moment which would blow over in a matter of hours. Writing basically that HuK doesn't care and continuous using the account off stream kind of forces Blizzard's hand though.

Stop making sense, we need to be mad at blizzard for ruining the growth of esports.


The fact they just don't want account sharing streamed is completely fine, sounds like alot of people angry over alot of nothing
