I think it means Blizzard and TeSPA will be working together (i.e. blizzard providing support for their communities) as a sub-part of the three big dogs being hired by Blizzard to be a part of their esports team


I see, so it's only the 3 head guys that become blizzard employees.


Anyway, sounds like great news for sc2!

Does this mean Tespa won't be getting behind non blizzard games? Not that I care really, just curious.


Adam from TeSPA here. To answer your question - nope! TeSPA will continue operating as it had before. We will continue supporting collegiate and high school esports groups, regardless of the games they play or host events for. We firmly in the idea of elevating esports as a whole, and this means supporting every community we can.

People love to hate Blizz but without them donating charity to SC2 esports (including GSL since its inception), we wouldn't have SC2 esports. And moves like this show that they really do care. Awesome news here.

If Lone Star Clash returns, this makes it look likely it will be a WCS event.

I have to admit that I kinda forgot that TeSPA existed, but still cool news nonetheless! Between this and Blizzard making more room in the WCS schedule for outside tournaments, hopefully this means we'll get some new LSC's.

He's saying that it's funny to be mad about something small like one Starcraft organization ripping off another Starcraft organization's name when Starcraft itself--in many people's eyes--is a rip off (of Warhammer 40k, Alien, Predator, etc.)

Now that I've explained it, I'm sure it is extremely hilarious!!

Apparently you haven't read Starship Troopers (1959), or even Ender's Game (1985.)
