I conducted two interviews at Valve's The International with Team Liquid Owner Nazgul and GomTV's Mr Chae regarding their thoughts on the current status of WCS, and how Blizzard is handling the league. Also some comparisons to TI3 (since that's the event I was at), and some thoughts on StarCraft as a whole right now. First half of each interview is focused on Dota, while the second half is on SC2.

Mr Chae: "Blizzard is very supportive of Esports...but I think their support is not effective"



Nazgul:

since people have been talking about those interviews everywhere, the chance should be insanely high.

both these guys really had juicy stuff to say in these interviews.

Nazgul from the Team/Player/Management side and Mr. Chae from the Organizer side. Really nice to hear all those stuff, both positive and negative comments, we need 'em all!

Mr. Chae: Blizzard spends a lot money, but it isn't effective.

What a surprise.

These guys were openly critical of Blizzard despite their positions. Hopefully Blizzard will listen.

I really like that Chae brought up the lack of leagues in Korea. 1 league isn't enough for all the progamers over there. More leagues in Korea = less Koreans abroad in WCS AM/EU.
i was driving down the road this november eve and spotted a hitchhiker walking down the street. i pulled over and saw that it was only a tree. i uprooted it and put it in my trunk. do trees like marshmallow peeps? cause that's all i have and will have.

Fingers crossed that Blizzard actually reacts. Good thing to finally see the higher-ups commenting on Blizzard's effectiveness.

I don't think it's fair to call that of Blizzard. They care a lot but for whatever reason, they manage to Charlie Brown everything. I liken them more to a kindly, out of touch grandfather -.-.

Know why Valve doesn't release HL3? Because the moment they do, people are going to shit all over them for the smallest, insignificant things. That's exactly what's happened to Blizz.

So can we expect Tastosis to drop WoT anytime soon (yes please) and switch to dota2 (YES PLEASE) ?

Valve does not have the same pressure as blizzard had before releasing SC2. Until SC2 and D3, blizzard had an history of revolutionary great games at each release. Now people don't expect much from them.
