Artosis giving us faith on the game side. Grubby saying how it should be past just playing. Love it.

What is going on with the sc2 community lately, every seems to think the world is falling apart. But yea i do agree with pretty much everything i see, we dont need auto mine blizzard.


nothing is falling apart. People have simply said "enough is enough" and are letting out what they've been repressing for years. It's time blizzard learns.

I might be warned because my post is slightly off topic, but, damn, you're great Grubby !
SC2 is the best game to watch and was the best to play before I grew old and slow...

The OP is an extremely useful posting. A balanced, but concise view at the state of the community and the game.

I don't think many people cared about the lol s2 finals. The only effect it had might be pushing destiny to make his post which alongside the slayers drama is creating the panic-frenzy which is a good thing. Some people are saying these type of threads are becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy but honestly this is exactly what Sc2 needs. Its a do or die type moment because there is a lot of issues with sc2 and if the red alarm sirens are not ringing in the blizzard offices after this fiasco, blizzard and its games deserve to die off.

Grubby laid everything out in such a nice and comprehensive way. He is so dreamy and smart. I like the notion that tournaments need to develop distinct identities, so you can follow the storylines that you want as a fan.

» Without a governing body, there can be bullying, or senseless competition over a date which ends up hurting both tournaments.


Isolating the free market as a problem is pretty hilarious. If companies cannot survive, they have an inferior product and deserve to get bounced out of the scene. Keeping them around through the establishment of a cartel creates a disincentive to innovate.

» A governing body would require authoritative power over all tournament organizers in order to work. They would also need financial stability (to pay out the people who have the hard work of keeping tournaments in line, and for other reasons), and all this body must be kept objective & fair, mediating and reaching compromises which everyone can be equally unhappy with (the golden rule of compromise). I think I don't need to tell you how hard it would to found an organization that has all these attributes, no matter how much we seem to want one - and therefore how long it'll probably still take for one to appear.


This is illegal in multiple jurisdictions, such as the United States and the European Union. And before you say that real sports organizations exist, you have to understand that they receive statutory exemptions to antitrust law through years of lobbying and billions of dollars of marketing that ESPORTS can't match.


Which is why I said finances are important. As I think shone through, I consider it unlikely that this would happen. I didn't know about the illegal/exemption thing though, that's interesting. Though I have to say, that eSports doesn't necessarily go by the same laws that we recognize in the Real World.

It's not illegal if that governing organization is Blizzard itself, using it's intellectual property rights to use of its game as leverage to force organizers to cooperate.

There is something I have been thinking about and considering lately, and the more I think about it, the more certain I am that this could possibly be THE solution to the problems people are seeing with the SC2 scene and tournament saturation.


While interesting, Blizzard cannot regulate much more than giving companies the license to operate the game. If they become overbearing in their requirements and restrictions, these organizations will simply drop StarCraft competition and move to a non-Blizzard game.

It's interesting to see how many of the issues that Grubby identifies are echoed in Gretorp and Filter's posts. Really interesting read, and I agree that we should keep hoping. I mean, Blizzard did get rid of the warhound and reintroduce the carrier, two moves for which I had very little hope.
Can someone please explain/how water falls with no rain?

Also, watching IS contributing.
