Punish both them? Its not Blizzards job to make these people get along and they aren't going to. We are not one huge happy family and we need to stop demanding Blizzard to fix every conflict in the scene. We just need to vote with our eyes and money and the best show will win. | ||

It's entirely possible RB just wanted to beat out a competitor, and/or they really didn't know MLG was going to hold Columbus on those dates. Whatever the case, it doesn't really matter, and I don't even think intentionally asking for a license for the same dates as MLG is wrong or anything ... in any case, I'm sure RB will put on a great event, and I just hope they invite some Korean players to participate. I don't think there's much more to be said. pro players in the na scene have been yelling their hearts out about not being live events in the usa and now when they happen they overlap.this is bad no matter how you take it.and redbull never brought the numbers of mlg. @plansix you force them to agree otherwise choose the best option for the scene.mlg still brings in more viewers than redbull lan.And day 9 who is in charge of sc2 at redbull should have known not to collide with mlg.either way it hurts the scene to not have mlg.and redbull never organized anything of mlg scale/ | ||

Literally they could have released a pr statement saying another company got the dates instead of them,not give any names and move one. Because if you do that you'll get a lot of speculation. Maybe we should wait for this before we jump to conclusions: There are many more nuances to this MLG/RB story and perhaps now the real reporters in the scene can dig deeper. #SSNN | ||

This is taking some crazy turns but I'm excited to hear what red bull had planned. Please be near Chicago. | ||

And I bet the Redbull is up to the challenge of hyping the event so people will watch it. | ||

I think we can have nice things even though we throw shit at Blizzard whenever anything positive/negative happens in the starcraft scene. More on topic (blaming the company giving us nice things for everything except WWII); is the grass really greener on the otherside? I have never been to a forum for dota and lol fans, do they blame Riot and Valve for a bunch of random shit or do they glorify them as much as the starcraft community? | ||

"Wooooahh! Sneaky sneaky!" and instead it's all "WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YEAAAAAAAH!" TL is funny. I suppose I'd rather RedBull as hosts too, to be honest. | ||

Even deciding to put on an event is very generous of them. If they conflict, then they conflict. Whatever. RB has put on good events in the past with good production. Sure, maybe they will not bring in as many viewers, but that's speculation. RB has enough resources at their disposal to build up the hype. If it falls flat, then it's all on them. | ||

I like the way they handled the HSC collision as they put their event on hold and told stream viewers who tuned in to watch that instead until it was finished. | ||

Thats not an answer to a problem. You cannot force them to agree. MLG CANNOT chage their date and Redbull may not want to. If there is no solution, then you just pick one. And the viewer numbers reflected the scale of each event. The redbull lans were very low key and 20K is not bad for the number of people that attended. They have never attempted to throw an event of MLGs scope and I would like to see them try. | ||
