I worry about if twitch can handle this though. The past 6 weeks twitch hasn't been great in EU. What pisses me off is that it will now be completely impossible to watch all 3 live. I guess I will have to pass on the NA one since it has the worst time slot for us in EU. For 2014, maybe there should only be 3 seasons, seing as fitting in 3 from HotS launch till November has been very tight. | ||

Im not at all suprised by what Blizzard just did, its obvious they havent planned the whole WCS thing correctly this year. There are so many mistakes already. Its sad I wont be able to watch EU,KR and NA, but Ive given up on Blizzard a long time ago. | ||

It's not even the S2 grand finals or whatever it's just the region ones. I don't get this amount of negative reaction. if last year is any reference, there wont be any downtime at all. the international was the best run tournament in the history of western esport and i doubt valve will suddenly break down riot-style and fuck everything up. ~5 minutes between games and that was it. | ||

Studio availability? I obviously don't know their schedule, but those studios aren't exclusively reserved for SC2.

(So not games at 0300 local), then with some luck the overlap with WCS EU shouldn't be too major. But looking at the rest of your post + sig you are just here to troll. | ||

Unintentional ? Please, there's this thing called keeping contact with other organizers so there aren't such huge fails. | ||

I know it was last year but it wasn't just five minutes between games lol, there wasn't a lot of stream downtime if any at all, always entertained by 2GD &co. but there were fairly long breaks between games at times | ||

Putting your quad-annual (word?) finals up against that just shows that Blizz doesn't care. Well, that and the marathon idea. | ||

However, it's far from optimal for either organizer as well as people who want to catch 100% of each event. And if the streaming service fails to withstand the overload, it's going to be a disaster for everybody. | ||

It was my understanding that this hypothetical situation would only be disastrous for those relying solely on Twitch for their broadcast (i.e. Blizzard/SC2). | ||

Sucks for every SC2 spectator getting fucked if you follow both SC2 and Dota2 and not to mention the 99.99% twitch failure thats bound to happen. At least Dota2 has DotaTV and SC2 has only Twitch to fall back to. | ||

For the most part yeah, but I think it would also catch a big chunk of the Dota 2 audience. Such as those who would watch TI3 on devices that can't really run the game client, or casual/new/curious viewers that simply don't know that watching in-client is even possible or don't want to bother installing and fiddling with it. The core Dota 2 audience is going to be perfectly fine obviously. | ||
