Anyways, I hope everyone gets the point that this isn't directly about the protests/violence/politics. It wasn't Intel making a decision based on ethics. It wasn't their decision at all. Their rental in the venue is simply being denied.

Unlike IEM, I don't think WCS would simply be cancelled. It would most likely be relocated. There's still months left.

I've been watching the dispute closely but never though it'd directly effect SC2 esports like this D:


WCS will not be affected.


This is most likely true. From what I can tell, the Chinese public won't give half a shit if a bunch of non-Japanese people are mucking about... the issue was that IEM was at an anime expo, which obviously means there's going to be a lot of Japanese people and products and companies. WCS is an American-sponsored event for an American product with North/South American, European, Korean, and Chinese participants, all of whom are either neutral on the issue or on China's side (in Korea's case).

Can't they play it online? Make the prizepool and stuff smaller to compensate for less ad/sponsorship revenue, so the fans get what they want

Thats too bad, unfortunately its way too late to make alternative arrangements. I liked IEM Guangzhou last year and was looking forward to it this year.

I wonder if this will impact the WCS later this year at all if tensions remain.

A video game does not even come close to what is unfolding there. Very smart choice to stay out of its way.

Can't believe how much nationalism there is over a small rock in the ocean. Sad to see this crap ruin what I expected to be another great IEM tournament.

In bigger news, teamliquid finally references a news article from gosugamers rather than the other way around.
