Other than that, I'm glad they made a very thorough set of rules that seem focused on trying to make tournaments run more smoothly. | ||

I think the rule is more like GSTL, they had the rule in place but never actually enforced it(if they did it didn't happen a lot), so normal chatting is most likely fine but negative/bad comments about your opponent/excessive chatting is probably a no-no | ||

A. Language – In all languages, players may not use obscene gestures, profanity and/or racist comments in game chat, lobby chat, or live interviews. This includes abbreviations and/or obscure references. Organizers reserve the right to enforce this at their own discretion. So the point of that is to make things more professional which might seem good on the surface level because we associate professionalism with high quality but what I find lacking in this approach is the purpose, or said another way, where is this "professionalism" taking us. To a more serious looking SCII esports environment ? There are benefits from this, true, however at the same time, I think we are losing something essential - I think we are losing the humanity of it all. In fact, I see this is a supression of a player's personality. Suddenly, you no longer have the right to express yourself as you are, instead, you are forced to fit into the cookie-cutter mold. What was so wrong about the little bm here and there ? Why do we have to ban it ? The bm incidents were quite rare anyway and they added something vital to the experience of esports - they added personal stories that could be directly experienced by the viewer. On top of that, the bm incidents that were happening weren't malicious or nasty, the vast majority of it was in the spirit of good fun. I can understand why this rule is being implemented - if we want to draw esports closer to being mainstream, we need to make it similar to how other mainstream competitive disciplines look like, as this is the only way we can aquire further funding and social acceptance. Unfortunately, it's hard to argue with this. The problem I have with this is that I don't think esports needs to become like everything else that is mainstream. For me, this siphons away one of the key features that draws me and many other people to esports in the first place - personal stories, unique culture and atmosphere. In summary, the expressions and possibilites of a player that were prohibited by this rule were source of substantial value to many within the community and while there are benefits from making the scene more professional by banning "inappropriate" expressions, there are also significant drawbacks. We lose many priceless stories because of this rule. We also lose the view of player's unique personality. I think that's a lot. | ||

I also don't like this rule. the occasional smack talk made some fun moments. | ||

C. Disputes and Redress – Any disputes a player may have with the current operation of the league should first be addressed by email, telephone or in person to the tournament organizer. If the organizer does not provide an adequate response in a timely fashion, players and teams should contact Blizzard Entertainment at esportsteam@blizzard.com. So you get banned for complaining in public. Player union when? | ||

I THINK (I'm not sure, but hey why not speculate) this is to minimize the amount of Pro Player complaints Blizzard has to find on forums like Team Liquid by having players directly contact them with complaints. I can respect that, though I doubt Blizzard will be handing out fines to players who respond to threads with their first impressions. Also, the "No In-Game Chatter" rule is a blanket rule clearly made to stop players from playing a sort of text-based meta-game during a serious professional match; it's assumed that nobody will try but JUST IN CASE there needs to be a rule written down that can be enforced should the scenario come up. I don't know about the "No Replays Between Games In A Series"; that feels a little weird to me. I don't know though, we'll need to wait and see how things play out in the first major tournament in 2014. | ||
