EPTBlizzard Q&A on WCS 2014 - Page 7
| Forum Index > SC2 General |
I'm seeing a lot of comments from people who are disappointed that we did not share the exact plans for WCS 2014. To clarify, we did not intend for this to be an announcement, or an announcement of an announcement for that matter  The reality is that we are still finalizing the details of WCS 2014 with our partners, however, we did not want to wait until everything was finalized before letting you know some of the things we were discussing. We want to give the community an opportunity to provide feedback before we locked down the specific details. We have outlined most of our plans and ideas in some of our answers, but haven't fully committed to any of the decisions because we want to hear from the community. Our goal is to confirm and announce the plans for WCS 2014 before BlizzCon. That gives you at least a week to give us your input on what we've shared! Thanks again for your support! -kimaphan | ||

So idiotic, this is actually quite a bit of information. Come on, this is TL, negative is what people do here. Naz'Gul can say everything is great and people still complain. If Blizzard released all the info, people would complain too. The TL Community lives for it. Reddit is more positive now a days. | ||

So idiotic, this is actually quite a bit of information. People only read what they want to read. I agree, there's a lot of info in here, they just didn't say "THIS, THIS, AND THIS IS EXACTLY TO THE TEE WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO". They've said themselves, over and over in fact, that they haven't made the final decisions yet. But they did let us know what they were considering. | ||

Our goal is to finalize plans for WCS 2014 before BlizzCon so that players, teams, and partners have time to prepare. If they meet this goal, Blizzard time notwithstanding, we'll be hearing their concrete plans within a month. There's a bit much negativity when it sounds like all their planned changes are improvements. One thing I'd like to see is a mid-year tournament, not just the Blizzcon one, rather than remove the season finals altogether. However, with 3 seasons, there's not exactly a clear cut halfway point. | ||

I want to come here and have good discussions, though. Live report threads generally aren't my thing. Anyway, enough off-topicness | ||

But they do bring out the best of the gameplay. I guess you like personality over games. If someone else are better than ya, well get better. Are NA/EU players willing to live on instant noodles for a few years and grab sponsorships organically? If not, then they don't deserve charity. | ||

Just filled with negativity no matter what happens. got to give effort points to the 2 or 3 Sc2 haters in the discussion threads, they maintain atleast 1 post per page to ruin those. But I think by now thy just copy paste from their old posts. Guess in LR threads they get not enough attention so they avoid them. Might explain why LR threads are usually fine. To stay atleast a bit on topic. Shocked about the Seasonal Finals, I liked them alot. But they have a point that the non WCS events kinda have this roll as well. Especially when everyone needs WCS points. | ||
