I don't think we need to restrict the chat so severely, some banter or witty trash talk can be quite entertaining. As long the rules for offensive and insulting language are enforced, I don't really see a need to kill off all in-game chat.
Naniwa's "lol fuck" vs Jaedong still makes me smile, I'd hate to lose things like that completely.
There's a huge difference between trash talk like "lol fuck" as in the Nani vs JD series, and a "how could I lose to the worst player in the world" vs that low-tier EU zerg..
Edit: I do think that tournament admins and blizzard guys will get the difference, they probably won't fine a "lol fuck" but they will fine the other shit.

... so no more money for Naniwa. Could`ve been worse....

Seems mostly fine to me except for no chatting. Players with personality are what people want. In my ideal ruleset there would be bonus prize pool money for best trasher talker.

ahahahhaaha! that pic at the front page!! <3 <3 <3

Appropriate picture on the front page

•F. Alcohol – Players that are intoxicated during any event may be disqualified at the discretion of the tournament organizer.
Wow. This could actually be named the "Stephano-rule".

Majestic picture Wax. Well done.

Honestly, I prefered when we tried to stop following Kespa's stupid rules instead of trying to be its replacement.

In kespa games players couldnt say anything except GG at the end of the game not even greet each other post the lobby screen

Doesn't matter, Stephano would just locate the nearest available female admin, take her out for dinner, a movie and who knows, and boom, he's instantly seeded into premier.

Agreed, but I like it when broadcasts move at a reasonable speed and players are expected to act at least mildly professional. Not trash talking in chat is fine, do that before the game in interviews.

Player code of conduct: "Players must compete to the best of their ability at all times".
Noone is perfect. Right TeamLiquid....? Thinking of a special game with *R* that still make me sad.
|
Players may switch races after each match.
O-o
has this ever been done in WCS?
|
This doesn't feel right! What about freedom of speech ?
Seeing, reading real reactions and emotions of the players is way more interesting than "gl hf gg". And I bet everyone is use to offensive comments. Because guess what, to become good player you have to play ladder, where it happens all the time
Hopefully there will still be players who don't comply, even if it costs money!

Boring.
User was warned for this post

I was sad about the chat rule too. I think the less delay thing is really good from the watching point of view, but will we see less adaptation in series. I tought it was really exciting when people adapted to each other in series. Will this still be possible without replays.
People could be considered ready to play within 60 secs while they are watching a replay. You can go out very fast, if it was not for the requirement of being in X chatroom. Not sure if they could make it so the chatroom appears while they watch replay, is there such a thing .

There are plenty other tournaments with a more relaxed setting and giving trash talk the room some people want it to have. I prefer the flagship tournament of SC2, which is WCS, to be the most professional possible.
This also allows the Red Bull Battlegrounds and HSC to be all the more special.

I waiting for naniwa to win 14k $at a dreamhack in 2014, only to lose 90% of it due to rulebreaking ^^

players may not use obscene gestures
But hip-thrusting is an integral part of Starcraft ceremonies!

In the rulebook, it is mentioned it is a 'living document', meaning it can/will be updated and amended along the way.
Either way, I totally feel the ingame chat should be allowed. Why is the rule even made? Did we have any troubles recently? Anything 'too offensive', should be taken action against, of course. It can't be that difficult to enforce, right?
You could even add a rule that says "if a player takes offense at any comment/behaviour of another player, or staff, the offended player may ask for a 5 minute break and/or ask for a penalty, which will be judged by " blablabla. /etc. ..
I'd like more entertainment/interaction/etc, not less. Ladies/Gents at Blizzard: give back chat, please.
