Jesus Christ. I've been waiting for this day for so god damn long....
I'm not sure if the people who worked in content/tournament production would now end up contributing to game development. The type of expertise seems too different.
Think it's the other way around.. they hire people doing tournament production to keep blizz people developing. I just can't help but feel that staffing is tight in their offices.
Buying IPL basically removes the process of creating a new department from scratch. It's already done for them.
What he means is the people previously doing the tournament production won't now move onto game development because they are significantly different areas of expertise.
Glad for old IPL. Never liked official leagues with company names in them; it somewhat illegitimizes it professionally - can you image a company name attached to the NBA, MLB, etc
So glad Blizzard didn't attach it's name to WCS. Yay.
Hey everyone! Glad to see so much enthusiasm here. We have a lot of big plans and will be involved in a lot of Blizzard's efforts moving forward. We'll be sure to let everyone know more information as soon as we can release it about what exactly we're doing. Thanks again!

No announcement. They just moved to a house in the Bay area like normal people. The same area with Blizzard and NASL are. People are just putting things together because we are smart and stuff.
Oh there will be an announcement.
