Too bad. There always been the talk about esports going beyond borders, that your gender, race or ethical background simply do not matter plus various others cheesy statements. I think it would've been a good time to prove that and put the spotlight on our scene. | ||

Blizzard better prepare a backup plan to host the WCS at Dreamhack Winter. Shame for IEM hope the players and organizers can be compensated. | ||

Haters gonna hate. They will play their big games over there, we'll play our small games over here. Suit boys fighting :p kinda disappointing and sad that this has to happen in 2012, but that's life. We're not even close to this conflict and still the hate ripples all over the world. Something to bear in mind! Life goes on =} looking forward to future events! | ||

Events are barely breaking even as is. ESL has been running the IEM since 2006 and cutting costs and increasing revenue by holding their tournaments in gaming expos has surely been one of the reasons they are still around. | ||

If this does affect the WCS World Championships that would suck. But hey, I guess I wouldn't mind Blizzard simply giving Dreamhack the privilege of running another amazing tournament should that happen. Not gonna happen of course, but it would be cool as hell for a Stockholmer like me. | ||
