Moba games are competition. Sooner this "do it for esports" shit dies the better off we are. You can enjoy multiple games just like you can enjoy multiple sports but this kumbaya esports trite is just tiresome. | ||

But Blizzard, what are you thinking.. This is not how u make e-sports grow. It's kinda like they really want to play this childish game with this kind of schedule. They were the one who didn't want to give full support to DotA back then in Warcraft III. Now that they realized DotA 2 is freaking huge, they want to try to compete for viewerships? Didn't they know that it will only make them look bad in the end when they lose viewers due to this? I seriously think that there's nothing for Blizzard to gain for such scheduling, so I don't see any other reasons as to why they would want to stick with the dates. Why are you killing e-sports blizzard? Why... I really wanna watch both but if Blizzard still sticks to their plan I guess I have to forego WCS and just focus on TI3, as that's like a big wrap to the DotA 2 scene for the year, been waiting it for like ages. And the games are pretty long, and much more intense when it gets to the later stages of the playoffs, so might not have time to switch around to WCS. Not to mention, twitch would definitely get overloaded with this. At least I could watch the DotA 2 matches from inside the game client itself. Hopefully twitch would do something about it at the very least.. | ||

You can enjoy multiple games just like you can enjoy multiple sports but this kumbaya esports trite is just tiresome. It sounds incredibly immature and sappy to me, it's not realistic either. It's not even worth saying "WATCH EVERYTHING FOR ESPORTS." People wont do that and people dont want to do that, people have preferences, that is OK. Watch what you want, stop trying to pressure people into watching shit they don't like. Dota 2 will smash SC 2 most likely in terms of numbers and LoL will smash both partly because blizzard is idiotic, and if they REALLY wanted to, they could change to a much better date. But in the end, the WCS isn't a big enough of a priority to schedule intelligently it seems, unless they have some super huge gigantic thing hamstringing them and preventing them from scheduling better. To that I say, "too bad, hope it doesnt hurt blizzard and the fans or games too much." | ||

It's like hosting wimbledon, rolland Garros and US open at the same time AND during the football world cup. It's a complete cluster fuck. | ||

TI3 > WCS as far as I'm concerned. The good news is that now I have WCS to fill downtime at the TI3. | ||

Lol And how much longer can they realistically delay it? The finals are in august and after that theres still an entire 3rd season to run before blizzcon in november. You also have to add in that a delay might have meant more than 1 week because the facility they want may not be available the next week. | ||

As for the back to back EU and AM finals, i'll be out of town so i'll have the luxury of reading about it on Liquipedia from my phone (can't afford the bandwidth to stream it all to my phone lol). Gunrun is in vacation, so prepare for twitch to literally blow up. Literally. | ||

I play and watch Dota 2 and I think the same thing. If you look at when the most logical time to put the tournament at in terms of the scheduling of WCS, that weekend would be the time to do it, not to mention that in order to create the adequate duration for the next season you would need it to be on time. Its not a company's job to manage other events, they work on their own schedule. You can watch one or the other or just watch both, but theres no need to circle jerk this out of proportion. | ||

In retrospect Blizzard should have just started the first year of WCS with just 2 seasons, it would have given the guys at ESL, MLG, NASL and OGN a lot more breathing space. edit: To answer on your point, there is not much room for Blizzard now and this will come back to bite them in the ass. | ||
