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 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 ![]() | ||

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? | ||

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. | ||
