Well I don't see how entitlement is an issue here ~
IEM & Blizzard made sure the tournament will be HotS before release - we had a beta which is good, however this benefits Blizzard at least as much as people having fun playing it/getting interested. I would even argue Blizzard did a marvelous job making sure their game is promoted excellently while maintaining a rather high standard of balance, all accomplished with the beta.
Now Pros can't play until the event - those are people who most definitely will buy the game... you can't tell me that that is an optimal outcome for anyone now, can you?

Damn, I doubt I can catch any of the games before the playoffs =(.
I wonder if there will be re-broadcast later in the evening for the europeans.

Blizzard made sure the tournament will be HotS before the release? Do you have a source for that?

Who do you think will provide the servers? The technology for LAN is just not there yet...
//edit: Also I would refer you to this Post or just read the OP...

My point is, Blizzard apparently has a reason to close their beta for 10 days, and that reason apparently beats having pros train on HotS. Now people like you are saying that isn't "is an optimal outcome for anyone now". And I'd like to know why you think you know better than Blizzard if this is optimal for Blizzard. Aside from the fact that every kid on the internet thinks they're way smarter than international corporations.

Nice link you are trying to establish with the IPL thread...
I don't know better than Blizzard, how could I and why should I? There are people being paid to know better.
All I am saying is that pushing/allowing for a tournament with their latest, not even released addon and not providing the pros participating with the necessary tools is far from optimal. 10 days is rather long time I would imagine if you can't prepare properly when so much money is on the line.
Your first sentence, I cannot compute.

You don't, that's the point. You said it wasn't optimal for anyone and I think that would include Blizzard. And again you're saying Blizzard was "pushing" for this. And you made that up, you have no idea if they were pushing for it.

Yeah...
I am not interested in such an internet discussion to be honest. Picking points I left for interpretation and did not give a definite answer on while others that don't suit you will not be addressed. You did notice the slash with "allowing" right next to it, right?
I put it out there as it is a reasonable assumption and possibility - but not as a fact.

After that video I wonder if he's going to do anything as amazing as him walking on as the undertaker for the OSL group selection or his dance in his murloc suit this IEM.
