The International happens once a year, its expected to get more viewers. No one is going to look dumb. Now if the Blizzcon finals were at the same time as The International now that would be a problem... | ||

They do have other Esports they work on that are not SC2. Well i assume the grand slam will be at Gamescom which is 22.-25 August. So i don't think they can do it on the 17.-18. because the distance to the finals would be to short. And we haven't progressed far enough to hold it a week earlier. | ||

Even if you don't care about DotA, scheduling all the regional events on top of each other is terrible. Blizzard wants to establish a viewer base for the regional tournaments in that respective region first and foremost, but they should bloody well accept that esports doesn't work that way at the moment. Not even mentioning Twitch. Half of the viewers will have lag problems unless Twitch has doubled the size and amount of their data centers or whatever without anyone noticing. I expected bad things from Blizzard, but this blows all my expectations out of the water. One of the dumbest ideas they could have had. Hang in there, OGN/ESL/NASL. Maybe one day they'll learn. After this announcement, I don't really believe it myself anymore. | ||

I never said it was a smart move by blizzard, just that it was intentional.  As I said in the rest of my post. If they're trying to run 3 finals in 1 weekend they don't have a lot of options. And considering how poorly the rest of WCS has been planned, how late every announcement has come. It would surprise me more if blizzard was incompetent enough to think scheduling over TI was a good idea than if they are just incompetent enough to leave this late to the point where they have no other options. | ||

God forbid people should like more than one game... On July 23 2013 04:53 Eury wrote: I just prefer watching games that require a bit more skill. I felt the same thing about WoW when it was huge. I didn't watch the million dollar Painkiller tournament either nor CoD. You actually have no idea what you're talking about, do you? Painkiller is a game that requires quite a bit of skill.

They may be willing to take the hit on season finals to make sure they have enough time to get it all done in time for Blizzcon. Ok, so I did that math. After the season 2 finals on August 10, 2013, they have 12 weeks to get season 3 of WCS done and in the bag. At the pace they have been going, with a 2 week break, they will be cutting it close. I can see why they don't want to delay if possible, even for TI3. | ||
