As for the rest, i don't really care. I don't see anything which prevents friendly trash talk outside game, and that's way more important to have than some rude words on a monitor while hiding in a booth. | ||

I'll never understand why so many people love to watch people trash talk each other. It adds nothing as far as I'm concerned. | ||

Communication & Storage Devices – Players must consult with the organizer before bringing electronic storage devices to any event and are not allowed to use any mobile or external communication equipment during a match. All personal equipment must be in an enclosed bag or be given to an administrator while a match is played. " Do people need to ask permission to bring their smartphone to events? :/ Edit: And I still think it's stupid that you can switch race between maps. Makes map vetos kind of stupid. Like the blind pick part though(not that I think it will ever be used). As Nazgul said, anyone good enough to actually make a multiple race strategy for a series work should be rewarded because that is fucking hard to do. There's a good reason you don't see this sort of thing already and it's the same reason why you don't see any Random players at the top level. Mastering one race at the professional level is hard enough as it is, mastering 2 or 3 is even more insane. | ||

Tell that to boxing, it adds hype even if the players themselves are really friends or don't really hate each other. It's about putting on a show and also a way to add extra mind-games. | ||

The shoutcaster must treat all players with respect and cannot comment negatively on the player’s overall skill or character This is pretty funny. | ||

That's absurd.. blizzard is responsible for the non-existence of bugs, no-one else. Maybe they are tired when casters are just saying a player is shit the whole time in a match without end. | ||

I really dislike the chat rule. I like when conversations, provocations or reactions to the game happen. | ||

Beyond the basic rules that protect people, both TL moderators and Blizzard should step back and let people have fun. Fun is not professional. Blizzard seems to think that their route will be the best -- there is enough 'fun' by just watching the games and enforcing those types of rules. Since it's their event and all, they can do that. Maybe next year they might change some stuff but who knows. LETS SEE. | ||

These rules have a positive effect on tournament organization as long as they are used preventing excessive cases, i think. | ||

The only thing that specifically worries me is the idea that you're not allowed to criticize the tournament (is this right? I sort of skimmed most of the discussion), but otherwise the lack of in-game chat and forcing players to be on time is all harmless. If players want to show personality they can have their own blog or there can be interviews or comments on twitter and so on. But the only reason we care about these players is ultimately their ability to play the game and it's this ability that should be highlighted. I sometimes think that many people in the community are just here out of habit or they follow the scene for the drama and the players and the ambiance etc. and are only barely interested in the actual game (as is true for most sports I guess). But on some level everyone loses out when the game is no longer central. I think it's a very good idea to say that when the game start you focus on the game, period. (The "sanctity of the game", and so on.) I don't really like the idea of e-sports too much though. I have two sort of competing ideas and I don't know how to directly reconcile them. On one hand I think that you should respect the game and that many of Blizzard's rules are in the spirit of this thought, but on the other hand I don't like the idea of e-sports as a spectacle show where we want to emulate wrestling or something, with the community not caring about playing the game, just caring about the gladiator fight between Jaedong & Flash. It's this sort of mentality that makes people think it's a good idea to have mindless thrash talking to create equally mindless drama. Since if we're going to appeal to the lowest common denominator it's better to have players that show "personality" by acting like your typical loudmouth football player. (I mean, there are plenty of people that act like Innovation and Scarlett have no personality, just because they're shy/polite) Many of Blizzard's rules are in the spirit of creating a family-friendly spectacle event as marketing for Blizzard, that just seems offensive to me on some level. I do like competition though, it's more pure. I wish there was some billionaire that would acquire an island and invite the best 100 Starcraft players and just have them compete in a massive tournament. No broadcasting, no show, just competition and it only needs to be relevant to the people playing there. But of course, in today's world you need business models and that sort of thing to even have competition in the first place, and the powers-that-be only care about competition in the sense that it can draw in an audience. One rare good post in this thread. Thanks you. I'm gonna comment on one part of it tho. I don't think the pure gameplay of SC2 itself is good enough to entertain people. In a vacuum without any drama, any story, the game is really weak. | ||
