If you're only a SC2 fan that's the main issue here. People try to schedule their lives and sleep schedule around certain matches, but having them in the same weekend back to back is just expecting your viewers not to have lives or enjoy sleep at all. So not only is it split between viewers in different games, it's split between viewers and their tolerance. I see no answer other than Blizzard just planned poorly and did their best to cram it all in 3 weekends. Even if you don't give a damn about Dota, putting it on the same weekend as TI3 means that their stream will suck hardcore for the whole weekend. Dota has some sort of way to circumvent that problem with DotaTV but SC2 is going to suffer heavily from technical problems. | ||

Oh well, this isn't going to hurt TI3 viewership at all but SC2 is going to miss out on a metric ton of potential views by being stupid. They hired and supported Jay Wilson dismantling Diablo 3 so horribly that the console ports will actually be better versions of the game. This isn't surprising, unfortunately. Blizzard doesn't have the same talent it did in 1998. This also makes blizzard look a bit petulant and childish. If they REALLY wanted to make this happen at a different time they could, or perhaps they planned it that poorly? | ||

I thought the whole point of WCS was to even the playing field for everyone, not suck Korea's dick even harder. What gives? If they continue this stupid tournament next year, they really, really, REALLY fucking need to enforce everyone playing the same format, or else what is the FUCKING point? | ||

Hooray WCS! It's actually funny that people are also forgetting a few things because simply scheduling at the same time as TI3 is stupid enough. 1) They also scheduled all 3 finals at the same time making it impossible for anyone to watch all three unless they forgo sleep. 2) Riot also has an event at gamescon and it will be a complete and utter mess of an event for trying to get a hotel/tickets/room/being at an already packed venue 3) Riot even had the forsight to not schedule at the same time as TI3 despite being at gamescon | ||

Maybe i am, but for me this is the nail in the coffin of Blizzard as a company i like. We all know, that WCS was not as good for the scene as we all would have liked, but i always wanted to believe, that it will get better and that both Dota 2 and Sc2 ,who share a very unique bond, won't have that many problems with each other. For me Blizzard is/was one of the best video game developer, who just understood his customers. This might be a simplification, but they always were the good guys and i even feel childish to blieved that way, but that is how i felt deep down. Now i just have to accept, that they not only "*uck up" theeir own games, no(!) they also seem to do that with others. It just sadens me so much | ||

In short, not surprised Riot has their stuff together and also not surprised that Blizzard missteps once again. Something about the best predictor of future performance is... | ||

It just sadens me so much This is a serious question but what is this bond between Dota 2 and SC2? Is it because Dota was a War3 mod? The games seem as different as you're going to get to me. As to this being a nail in the coffin I just don't get it. This isn't the finals of S2 and the game itself seems more entertaining to watch than ever. They already put NASL in charge of WCS NA which was a great move. This part of the season wasn't ever going to come close to this Dota tournament anyway so people can check out both at once if they want to. It isn't even going to infringe on the grand finals of the Dota tournament! The level of reaction and vitriol this is causing is just baffling to me. | ||

It just sadens me so much dota 2 for blizzard is just like any other competitor game.The bond exists only in the mind of the fans and i am not even sure about those since the majority of dota 2 fans never heard of dota 1 and never heard of wc3/bw/sc2.Just check the dota2 reddit thingy.new fans only see dota2 as it is now. | ||
