Yeah its a bad business decision if they would have backed down but its a price they gota pay making such terrible mistake. By not backing down, not only they ruined their reputation as a game developer, they also ruining their reputation in making business decision. We all know what WCS final last year or ANY of the ESL event are like. Even though they are not borderline horrible, they are no where close to The International in term of production quality. Thats not even counting the prestigious price pool and a huge storyline carried over from last year TI2. Meanwhile viewers still are confused with the regional format system of WCS. No way in hell this gona end pretty for blizzard. lol | ||

They had ONE JOB, noone says something about LCS, becouse their things are on a weekly bases, but Ti3 is ONLY ONCE A YEAR. I can not express my deeply felt resentment enough in any language known to me and can not do more than to shake my head in utter disbelief. | ||

Kim Phan @kimaphan 1m @TheMaelk @Slasher That doesn't give adequate time to book travel arrangements for the players who advance to the season finals. it aint about ego trippin or backing down.Give the people a break.They do everything they can for the sc2 scene to get a good experience.Btw your browser has more than 1 window.I wonder how you watched when all of the other sc2 events overlapped with lol/dota 2 events.The only reason why you guys are complaining its because up until now ti3/lol worlds and wcs finals never overlapped.And I am guessing how stretched out blizzard is with all the financial part this is the best they could do | ||

This is basically a éclat of a dramatic scale and i feel not only betrayed by Blizzard, a company i supported since sc and wc2, but real anger towards them. They had ONE JOB, noone says something about LCS, becouse their things are on a weekly bases, but Ti3 is ONLY ONCE A YEAR. I can not express my deeply felt resentment enough in any language known to me and can not do more than to shake my head in utter disbelief. The bigger damage done by this is it brings to light how glaringly obvious it is that Blizzard is out of touch with the real world and esports and it shows their remaining fan base that they are not competent enough to foster and grow their game. Anyone who had any concerns over whether or not Blizzard was slowly realizing what they needed to do to make Sc2 a top tier esport again was just shown that they simply lack the ability to make the smart decisions necessary to keep the scene alive and growing. | ||

I don't even know how many awesome recent events I've had to turn off because the stream lags, especially during battles. I only now just realize that Twitch is the reason I've been losing interesting SC2 as a spectator sport. | ||

Just like their game development is suffering from a rigorous structure and bureaucracy - so is their 'esports division'. | ||
