EPTI would have liked to see maybe a representantive or two from the player/team side who is actually involved in some of the games these guys represent, and even someone from the outside, perhaps someone who is more into business. There just aren't any tensions between these guys, no one who comes even with a slightly uncomfortable reply.

I hope they make it free some time, I wouldn't mind that I had to pay for it, more people playing the game is what sc needs imo. I would watch the VOD, he did say more than just that. | ||

The "guy blogging about coding sc1" is essentially the main game designer of SC1 and the equivalent of David Kim/Dustin Browder for SCII Just to be clear, we're talking about Patrick Wyatt, formerly Vice President of Research and Development and a senior programmer at Blizzard, right? So, "essentially" Patrick Wyatt was not a game designer, but hey, making shit up to prove a point is fun, right? | ||

We still don't have capes for banelings. There is still money to be made! | ||

What they really need is to get Blizzard to sit down with the team owners, organizers and associations to unify everything. This is just panels for every competitive game on the market. Very similar to the other panels we've seen before. It's nice to have different folks meet together, but this isn't the Summit I was asking for. | ||
