No offensive language, no in game chat... basically all the lovable friendly trash talk that really gets me hyped, is out. No more personalities everybody! Remember how much we loved Idra's "Fuck you" to Huk after that Halluc VR match? NO MORE OF THAT NOW!. Robots everybody, just play the game and get out. 4thelolz: No CHEATING!? Looks like the whole Protoss race is out... those advanced imbalanced theocratic dicks. User was warned for this post Oh would you grow up. Its sad really that you cant enjoy the game without the players writing to eachother. | ||

You can say whatever you want and not get arrested for it, but your employer who pays you (in this case Blizzard) has every right to fire your ass for your racist hateful rants. Also, not everywhere is the USA. Most other countries on the planet don't put up with such BS. There are difference between denial of free speech and rules against racism and hateful rants. If player want to say that his opponent needs go back to drawing table, which might be disrespectful, but it is what player thinks, then theres no reason to not let him say that. According to the rules thats can be fined. Tho its a bit far stretched. Im sure all sc2 players are smart enough not to be associated with racism. And im not sure how things work in your country - in my country's constitution there are clear point - there no denial of free speech. I worked for state, and only point in our contract about free speech was that i am not allowed to give out the information i work with. And about blizzard being employer... thats not true. I can imagine why would one think like that, but then everyone who plays sc2 is employed by blizzard? The reputation of company you work for is closly connected to your actions, but this is not case - blizzards reputation is not affected with Stephano drinking problem. And this thing hit me with these rules - these rules dont only regulate tournament organization, but also what players should do and what to not. And what they gain with these rules? The worst/best part of big tournaments are the final ceremony. I hope they add rules how player need to lift trophies and pop champagne bottles, because its blizzard's property. | ||

Being able to play multiple races in a single series nothing to look down upon or to obstruct with a ruleset. I've seen players do that during BW ... well that was BW anyways | ||

Alcohol consumers, and cannabis consumers like myself should basically boycott the WCS if we can't enjoy ourselves legally with of age friends, family or fans. Ultimately if I have epliepsy and, Blizzard catches me smoking a joint they will turn me into the federalis. I will not be watching, or participating in WCS out of respect for the lack of insight from eSports @ Blizzard (this is looking at you Torch - and this is your 2nd strike with me - get one more - and I will be sprinkling weed seeds into your lawn into eternity). | ||

The shoutcaster must treat all players with respect and cannot comment negatively on the player’s overall skill or character Is this a joke or something? I mean, I get the first half of it, not being disrespectful... But technically, pointing out flaws in someone's play is part of understanding the game! What if the caster thinks player X is at an disadvantage due to nerve issues? This rule should undergo re-wording to be more accurate imho edit: I know it says "overall", but this is just too vague for me. Being positive is a good thing, but in competition there are winners and losers... | ||

The other rules are obviously totally reasonable. I think each player, before each match should be able to choose whether or not to allow chatting(and inform admins if necessary). If both agree, then it's allowed, otherwise only the glhf/pp/gg. Obviously the banter back and forth must adhere to the other guidelines though. | ||

Seriously, with players like Nony playing drunk, people on StoG playing drinking games while on stream or Axlav/Axeltoss boozing their way through a cast it's not wrong to adress this issue. If smoking weed isn't okay, alcohol shouldn't be either  | ||

I would not be surprised if the WCS handbook regulation cant follow the laws within certain countries where tournaments are held or players come from. There laywer must really have nothing to do that he could waste alot of time and money on this 30 page regulationleaflet. | ||

And if theres a pro that doesnt care about money its naniwa. I wouldnt be suprised if he doesnt change at all because of this naniwa has left like every team because of money drama. i think he'll be a lil more careful but i also think pushing the boundaries on those rules will create drama and hype around a players o i guess it could go either way. | ||

It's obviously to prevent casters shitting on a player the whole cast long which happens to often. | ||
