Teamliquid wasn't invited, according to Kennigit twitter.


Well if you read the OP you had to send them a letter saying why you should be there. ._.

Team managers, event organizers and journalists are encouraged to apply to participate in the event. Interested parties should send an abbreviated resume and an explanation of why they should be part of the Congress using the contact form provided on our web site. We also have 250 seats in the Auditorium where you can attend to see the panel’s live. Tickets are currently available while supply lasts.


In reality every big shot should have received an invite.

Then again, this is for all games and the reality is we need a Summit for SC2 alone to try and tie up all the loose ends.

Yes I think the two upcoming ones will be much more interesting, especially the last one. Robert will not disappoint.

Also, what is Heaven Media?

Really? I think it's quite interesting, and Im sure that there are ways to do it, so that it isn't invasive on the viewer or the player. Why do you think it's a bad idea?

I think in moderation it's a great idea!

Tournaments can do so much more tho, shouldn't put all the pressure on Blizzard.

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.


how many people that watch nfl, nba, mlb etc actively play?


High viewership:small playerbase for an esport game. That's relative to DoTA and LoL.

A comparison with the major sports is not really relevant unless you envision SC2 lasting several decades and new technology cycles.

have you seen dota2's banners/logos? I think they fit in really well and aren't intrusive at all.

Not more instrusive than the tons of banner and commercials already in the game for fun. I think done right it's pretty cool. Like logo's and buildings without making it hard to see what it is and such...
Yeah

Do you feel these are too intrusive?

It happens in every sport, be it events advertising around the court or teams advertising on their gear, but the digital medium largely removes those kinds of external factors making a significant decrease in exposure for sponsors right now.

Valve managed to put banners into the game without causing too much distraction and I think sc2 can easily do the same

VoD and transcript of Dusting Browder addressing the possibility of a free to play model:

Video

Paul: Why not make SC2 free to play? And multiplayer surely is the smaller element of the game. Most people play it for the single player, they'll pay the money to buy the game in the first place. Why not just make the multiplayer part of it free to play?

Dustin: It's definitely an option for us at some point down the road to make that decision. I think we'd want to make it when we knew we weren't going to do any damage to our ecosystem. I can imagine scenarios where, you know, I go to play a game on battle.net and I think I'm having a good time with you and then it turns out you have only half the units because that's what you bought. And while it might be a little bit fun for me to beat you down when you don't have access to some of the toys that you should have...

Paul: That might give me a chance of beating you.

Dustin: Yeah, I don't know if that would really be that much fun, right? Like we could certainly do that. We could obviously offer, you know, the races individually for a fee, the whole race at once. And that might be the way for us to go down the road. I don't think there's any reason why we wouldn't except we want to make sure we do it properly, we don't make any mistakes and that we, you know, are supporting the fans the way we're supposed to.
