This seems to be typical legal jargon, I wouldn't read too much into this.

Lawyers are pretty used to writing nonsense in general. Briefs are a special form of nonsense. I am sure Blizzards in house Esquire was thrilled to be writing a rule book to be used in several countries. Nothing like draftin something you know is going to be wrong somewhere.

This bugs me quite a bit:

2. Restricted Sponsor Categories –The following sponsor categories will not be
allowed:
[...]
e) Gambling websites; or


Millenium is sponsored by Winamax, a poker website.
So ForGG can't wear his team jersey in WCS events?

The pausing rules seem a bit silly. As does restricting a shoutcaster's ability to state that a player is bad.

This plus that they have to "refrain from using vulgar language or swearwords" If they take this rule seriously, the casters can't even say: "what the fuck is he doing?" I mean...really? o_O

Everything seems pretty reasonable, I personally don't agree with the restrictions regarding the sponsors (gambling, alcohol...) but I can see where they are coming from

I think it's pretty common sense for sports casters (physical or e-sport type alike) not to swear on air. The stating of badness thing though... we'll see how it goes. Also need to check that pausing thingy, don't want the secong coming of "the p incident" now, do we?

same with alcohol and tobacco, neither of those things are illegal and are 2 of the largest industries in the world, how do you justify limiting teams and streams income potential for an M rated game?

it is rated for 12 years in Germany (USK) and also has a PEGI rating of 12. So it does make sense to avoid bad press - it is silly in a way as football and other sports all have alcohol sponsors but I understand them being extra careful given how easy such sponsorships could be exploited to paint e-sports in a bad light.

I love how Korea gets their pricepool in Won, while Europe has to get it in $ and deal with the shitty exchange rate on top of prices being higher. The exchange rate risk of those ammounts for a company like Blizzard should be peanuts, and the pricepoll looks bigger in $ I guess.
