EPTWhile I didn't check anything but the OP regarding these rules, I can't imagine they would enforce it for an online cup or event that did not give WCS points. Unless my assumption is wrong, then there are still plenty of events you can watch the trash talk/swearing/drinking during.

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). rofl, this is why pot heads drive me nuts. You don't even understand the rule | ||

I will NOT grow up Who are you calling daft, punk? I do not think offensive language was ever really an issue. I mean, sure there was some off color language in chat, but that just shows that these pros are human after all. I feel like the average/casual gamer can relate more with players when they see BM.. I mean, honestly, who hasn't said something horribly offensive online. It's natural to be angry when you lose because your opponent just gets lucky. You are mad at yourself but just project it to your opponent. In this technologic world, you don't suffer consequences because you never have to see the person face to face. Unfortunately, pros do... but no chat? What about the digital love that Huk shows to his opponents? It is possible that these rules might scare people into being robots rocking the SC2 scene even beyond in game. I have a theory that most people who are upset by these rules around the world are more upset because that is the way THEY behave, with BM and smoking da funk and like to see themselves reflected in the personalities of progamers because if someone like them can go pro, it's possible for you to go pro if you work harder,better,faster, and stronger. I don't really know how to articulate my thought of this into words, but hopefully someone can derezz it and clarify what I mean. It has been said before, but I want to draw attention to it one more time, these rules only affect WCS, so our other tournaments are safe. My favorite "trash talk" incident actually took place OUTSIDE of a game. This video is a perfect example of doin it right | ||

Smoking pot is - besides other things - about giving a shit about the settled rules. But what in disscussions makes no sense is saying this or that, him or her doesnt even understand ... doesnt even get! Oh what an .... Thats just for excluding people and for that no one has the right here (not taking into conclusion the moderating power of the forum). Think about taking some of the behaviour suggestions from blizzard and apply it to yourself not just when youre playing in the wcs. Would do some good. Maybe after all, blizzard is going to make a better community? ;-P | ||

You basically just said "I hold Danish values to heart!". Sportsmanslike conduct is admirable, and is highly appreciated across all cultures, not just in Denmark. Maybe you just never learned it. | ||
