TotalBiscuit's thoughts on the matter. He sounds pretty pissed from the perspective of a team owner. | ||

It's the same reason why MLG gets more hate than other tournament organizers I feel; They've done this a couple of times too, in the past. Don't treat your audience this way; It will affect the image people have of you negatively. In other words: It's bad PR. | ||

Is it bad for sponsors? Sure. Can Blizzard do as they like though? Sure, and they did. Be angry but don't expect things to change: this is Blizzard, they're stubborn. People would think that blizzard has two alive braincells. | ||

The International is hosted in a Symphony Hall. The LoL World Finals are hosted in the Staples Center. WCS is just getting blown out of the water by both of these events, and they'll be competing with the LoL EU Playoffs at gamescom (as well as the trade fair in general for a live audience). The planning here was just so weak - even if their hands are tied at this point, how did they let it get this bad? | ||

I remember TI2, I didn't play dota 1 year ago, and seeing the tournament was pretty boring at that time. mobas are not spectator friendly, you need to play to understand wtf is happening in the screen. on the other hand RTS's are one army vs another. simply to understand. now I play dota2, and sure i will see some games in TI3, but not all of them. why is people here assuming that every sc2 spectator will be all the weekend watching TI3 nonstop? I like the idea of watch wcs europe finals and the wcs america finals. | ||

Maybe in the year 2055 when its possible to own two monitors or watch two internet streams at the same time they will find comfort. A good thing for the professional youtube dramaqueens though. Can't wait for you to start crying when Twitch caves in under the sheer amount of viewers, especially since you live in Germany! :D :D :D | ||

Mmmh.. let me think about it.. NOPE. Its not like it would actually run very smooth if no other event is played at the same time too. PS: :D :D :D | ||

The problem is that all the community wants SC2 to get bigger and that happens by having more people watching it, but with this stunt Blizzard is working hard to minimize the numbers of viewers which ultimately will hurt SC2 as an esport. | ||

The numbers will likely not be as terrible as people think and it is just the regional finals for a single season of WCS. Its not like they set Blizzcon for the same weekend at TI3. | ||

WCS Eu was pretty big though, if this season's numbers are significantly lower than last season I personally will be really disappointed. | ||
