As nameless and faceless as giant tech companies can seem, they are made up of employees that are people just like everyone else. You should see the trolling on the internal Microsoft SC2 email list... | ||

I have to hand it to Day[9] though, he could have easily gotten a few sponsors and put on just another normal tournament… But this is a team league with big name companies participating. Even though the players may not be the best, it is a very imaginative idea. The verdict of whether it turns out good or bad is still up in the air, but we all should at least make an effort to get the league off the ground. It's a great opportunity to help others see how great eSports is! | ||

As far as skill distribution it ranges from team to team, but most players in the league are high diamond, low masters. Cool, thanks for your answer!!! Really looking forward to this. Good Luck in the tournament <3 | ||

The only concern I have with it is that, unlike college sports, you don't really feel attached to a company team. I root for Minnesota because I attend the U of M. I share the joy of victory and the pains of defeat with thousands of other people. I'm curious to see if this will generate any similar interest, or if the intent is to simply get these companies to promote SC2 (which would be fantastic in its own right). Come on, are you saying you don't feel personally attached to the tech products you use? If only Apple had participated I could REALLY show you an example of company loyalty.  | ||

whether it succeeds or fails, the concept is important I wonder what other companies may be interested in competing ? Or maybe what other groups of communities... | ||

This is an interesting surprise because Day9 is friends with the real megumixbear and now the imposter is in his league. It's actually a problem for her because he goes around bnet introducing himself as her and stuff he does comes back at her cause people think it's her. She had to change her name to all lower case to try to avoid confusion. Wonder what Day 9 will think about this. I mean I don't really have respect for someone pretending to be someone else online. Kind of weird and juvenile in my mind. I really don't think Day9 would stand for someone making a mockery of one of his friends, but this is also his brand new league so he's in an interesting predicament. However, I really don't think it's a big deal if Day9 requests him to use a diff bnet id. Now whether the fake would agree to that without putting up a stink is another issue altogether. That seems to me to be a rather biased interpretation of what I do. I do not go around Bnet saying "hi guys, I'm tricia^^" or anything like that. I'm not some crazy psycho who just randomly picks on people for no reason, either. I've been in the community quite a long time, and there are distinct reasons for why we ended up in this situation but I did not with other people in the past. Day[9] is welcome to request whatever he wants, but I'm not going to use a different account name just because of who his friend is. It's the account I play by far the most on, my friends play with me on it, and the account is my SC2 presence. If he chooses to ban me from it, I would question what I did to actually deserve it - I'm not harassing anyone in his league (and I never tried to pretend that I am her when I submitted my application or account info) and I'm following all the rules to my knowledge. You can't admin a league by letting your own personal dislikes / friends affect your judgment.

Yes, Sorcery (who, believe it or not, is a friend of mine and who I did, after struggling with the issue, forgive for his past) hacked in the past - I do not believe he currently hacks, and I'd rather not derail the topic about AHGL with some great drama bomb about myself and him. | ||

Why would you want your online presence to be that of someone else? That would be like me making a Day9 or EGIdra account and claiming cause I play on those accounts a lot, that is now my online presence. Megumi isn't a progamer so who knows what will happen, but I'm pretty sure leagues wouldn't let a person sign up with a Day9 or EGIdra id. | ||

I'll watch some videos and could something be done about the video labeling? It doesn't say what races are played  | ||

I don't know much about the drama with the name stealing or whatever, so can someone tell me why I should care about megumixbear in the first place? She just seems like a random masters level streamer who gets lots of attention because she's a girl who plays SC2 at a good level. | ||

The website is gorgeous. Wonder which one of the teams made it, considering they have the ultimate resources right at their fingertips. Props to Day[9] | ||
