Why isn't Nazgul there? you'd say the founder and owner of both of Team Liquid and teamliquid.net is pretty infuential. Furthermore he seems like someone that could definately contribute to the discussion

Is there a place for casual games in esports...


No.

More interestingly, would the guy who plays most casually be the winner of such a tournament?

Teamliquid wasn't invited, according to Kennigit twitter.

Because he properly declined to come. I've shamefully taken this from reddit on a question on why Riot and Valve isn't there, but I applies to why a person like Nazgul is not there:


This is a first time thing, and since we're doing this more out of passion of eSports and not because we have another million dollar to spend, we have to limit the number of participants. Alot of important people is missing. This is the first round of people we present and additional people will follow. It's also a open Congress where everyone can take part, you, Valve and RIOT. We will not disclose what companies or organisation we have invited directly. We just hope that this is the start of something that will bring people together and make eSports bigger in the long run.

Have they said anything important yet? This seems no different than a Dustin Browder interview with 4 other idiots occasionally talking about irrelevant stuff

Well if not, then they properly wasn't invited because they are not multi-game oriented. Could see an argument for not taking organisations which aren't more multi-game. Lots of LoL teams aren't represented too if you want to discuss big eSports organisations...

In other words, they failed to send in an "application" to participate. I guess you could skew that into "not invited".

there is official coverage for 3 titles, and decent user coverage for like 5-6 others? thats more variation than the whole panel combined.

Did they talk about f2p/very cheap against full prize yet? Wheter Dustin thinks sc2 can grow their fanbase without making it free?


They did ask Carmac's "question" about Free multiplayer for SC2 in the future.

ELA wrote this few pages back. Don't know if it was word to word, i missed most of the question.


RedeYe to Dustin Browder: "Why not just make Starcraft 2 multiplayer, free to play?"

Dustin Browder: "Well, we could do that, but then we could end up in a situation where I end up in a game against you, and I have more units than you do because I bought the game"


So basicly they are have trouble finding a way to make money from, SC2 can't offer what the other games have like items, gear, better exp etc. So I beleive SC2 won't be free in the near future unless they find something they can make money from.


I don't know how realistic it would be, but can't Blizzard find a better way to monetize the tournament scene (charge higher fee for license/concentrate on merchandising).

Granted the last WCG EU generated great viewership, but how long can SC2 sustain a high viewership to small playerbase ratio? I feel that not adapting to the F2P market is going to hit Blizzard really hard soon. Unless HOTS somehow recaptures the magic/luck of BW's gameplay and balance, SC2 needs to expand the scene. Going F2P will bring in China and we all saw what they did in terms of viewership with TI2 and several years of WC3.

Has DB mentioned anything about Blizzard DOTA or has that been quietly swept under the rug?

Good question, even though it should be obvious that it is a good idea.
