I wanted to stop back and apologize for the one line response earlier in this thread, I was in the middle of a million things and I was quickly replying to ensure that my copy and pasted tweets were not taken out of context (it was an odd thing to reference within this thread). I know this is a sensitive topic for everyone, and I should have known better than to come in without responding to any of the other questions or concerns that were being voiced. With that being said, I unfortunately do not have much more to add to the discussion. MLG will not be hosting an event the weekend of 11/22-11/24, but I'm sure there will be official announcements about other activity that weekend. If there is activity going on over that weekend, MLG will definitely reach out to the proper parties to offer any help/support we can. Sometimes action (or in this case inaction) is done with scene's best interest in mind.
I know this is an ambiguous post, but I did want to stop in and genuinely apologize for my post. Enjoy the WCS Regional Final bonanza this weekend!
Well I dunno why trying to pull info from MLG is like pulling teeth. You can clear this all up real simple and fast if you answer these questions.
1. Did MLG not request a license because they weren't planning to do sc2 in the first place, so there's no point in asking?
Yes/No
2. Did MLG not request a license only after finding out Redbull was planning an event that same weekend and therefore felt it didn't make business sense to compete for the same viewers and decided not to ask for a license given this info?
Yes/No
That is the only clarification people seek. It answers the question of whether or not MLG didn't want to do sc2 in the first place or whether MLG decided not to do sc2 only after they found out about redbull.
No title is 100% yet for Columbus, so #1 is not even relevant. However, we plan our calendar around other events so that #1 would not even be an issue. Unfortunately, there was a scheduling overlap with someone else that caught both parties unawares. We are working with that group to make the best of a shoddy situation.

This is why we can't have nice things. Instead of being exicited about an upcomming event we didn't know about, we are complaining because we thing we should get two events.
you do not replace the biggest platform of sc2 in na with something a lot smaller in size,scale and publicity
The studio Redbull has is pretty big. You don't know how big the event is going to be. You are speculating and blaming Blizzard for something they cannot control.
they can.it is their ip and they can change the rules of the game anytime and without annoucing.it event states in the contracts.and it is weird blizzard let this happen in the most struggling scene with only 2 big lans considering how much they throw #growsc2 around.
@novemberest @nuenergy
there are theonly 2 lans in the usa.how hard it is for blizzard to make sure thye do not overlap.i mean either redbull is ill intended or just bm.they collided with the hsc in europe last time and now they cancel an mlg.wtf.can't this dudes get their own dates?
I have a feeling these scheduling overlaps are more to do with Blizzards "You can't broadcast over WCS" rule. That leaves very little time for other organizations to put on events since the three regions basically cover a huge chunk of air time.
No, the real reason is because redbull was not part of that esports co-operation panel at DH last year! Do you guys remember that? Where all the tourney organizers like sundance, david ting, dh dude, etc all got together and spoke about co-operation and sharing information dates more freely in order not to conflict? Well redbull was not there and so they obviously should have built a time machine to have a presence there because now they're not a part of the old boys club/network and out of the loop now with other tourneys.

Heh well I guess that's as close as a Yes answer to number 2 as we'll get and it'll have to do! I find it funny though that even with scoots and blizzard's comm manager stating that redbull requested that weekend, you still have to not mention them by name. I guess you have to officially keep it so MLG doesn't leak redbull's announcement even though everyone else in the world knows the unnamed party is redbull.

finally a decent answer.thank you adam.wow.if you would have given the answer in the first place you would have saved up thousands of comments on reddit and maybe keep some of your gold member subscribers to.

No, not at all. That is the honest information that is available right now. Just because it wasn't a yes or no does not mean it doesn't answer the question.
Just want to say that I appreciate you giving answers (even if vague) here, Adam. I know the community is a bitch sometimes, but know that in the bottom line most all really enjoy MLG SC2 weekend tournaments and that they'd be sorely missed if there were no more.

Is it true that Blizzard was the only company not paying MLG to have SC2 in their tournaments? I'd feel you guys could save yourself from a lot of negativity by simply stating this.
