Everyone on teams, etc know, just blizzard put an embargo on all the info and no one wants to break it. It's different leaking eg signings and alex garfield getting mad at you compared to getting blizzard mad at you for leaking.

Ya Blizzard could probably make tournament organisers bar teams/players from attending if they wanted to. Srs bsns.

Don't worry Waxangel, you can tell me now, I'll protect you from any possible Blizzard litigation/death that might occur.

I have nerd dread that region-locking is going to actually be a Thing, and while I get both sides of it (arguably better for entertainment value for foreign tourneys, but just as arguably bad for competition in general, blah blah), it just feels really sort of lame and sad. I'm tired of foreigners implicitly throwing in the towel. If there are foreign pros who can't get motivated because the Korean competition is stiff and they're stealing all the prize pools in 'our' tournaments, I'm not interested in those pros. I want the ones that are determined to get better & be competitive against the best. Does US become the 'It's Okay American Pros Everybody Gets Medals Now' circuit? I have my pet favorites I'm dying to see on the mainstage more but if they're just beating up on each other in the kiddie pool...no thanks.

Really hoping this turns out to be a figment of community imagination but my gut is telling meit's coming and I'm not buying one inch of it from those shrugging their shoulders saying hey it's just the way of the future. That's a crappy future for a competitive scene. CatZ posterchilding it on SotG was appropriate in all the ways I'm surprised this community is more vehemently scared about.


Couldn't agree with this more. If it is region locking, i just wont watch anything but the korean scene, because as much as i love some euro/american players and want them to do well, it will simply disgust me to watch them only start winning because everyone decided that they weren't capable of competing with koreans and threw in the towel. I believe that tournament viewership would go down across the board is region locking is the case.

Such a region locked tournament business should be a league thing with weekly games Monday through Friday, and then still the big international tournaments on the weekends occasionally. The regional leagues would perhaps not even massively steal viewers from each other because of different time zones and viewing stuff live being strangely more compelling than watching VODs. Basically, I think you could have both regional stuff and international stuff with everyone being happy and no drama.

Could it be that Blizzard does it like riot and provides a steady salary for particular teams ?

The way blizzard has setup this announcement to happen, assuming it's good enough to justify all this hype. Is extremely well produced and put together and in some ways very on par with the HoTS release. Giving so many media outlets time and the heads up to get themselves positioned to report on what's suppose to be huge news can only help to insure it builds a great deal of momentum moving forward with whatever it is they are doing.
