No trash talking? I do not agree with that. Saying "fuck you" to another player after being tricked/cheesed/completely undone in the last game is excellent and really sets the stage for the next game.

Now we'll just see robots, foreigners with the same facial expressions as koreans and its a quick "play 3 matches and out".




Yes, you're so right. You're not exaggerating or anything. Get off this game, please.


Yeah, that could be the dumbest comment in the thread so far. I don't get the problem with chat and peoples need to have the players start drama during a match. They get interviewed before and after the sets, so if the trash talking and hype is goin to happen, it will happen then.

The shoutcaster must treat all players with respect and cannot comment negatively on the
player’s overall skill or character


I like this alot. Listening to Wolf bashing Tassadar to death was extremely annoying tbh

F. Alcohol – Players that are intoxicated during any event may be disqualified at the discretion of the tournament organizer.

This is really weird, casters have to able to call out mistakes and talk about a player's tendencies and weaknesses. This sounds like they basically want the casters to brown-nose the players or not say anything. I wonder how Day9's awesome guffaw at Elfi's fail-fields would have been treated under these rules.

hm a tiny bit to much for my taste, so I hope a few things don't become standard. Just like I am hoping for more no Ladder maps in tournaments haha.

Does it mean that the opponent know the race befor the map starts or
Does he only knows whenn he scouts a probe/scw or drone?

How long would it take before people begin to separate "Players must compete to the best of their ability at all times" from the match-fixing/ colluding section and make it its own rule.

A lot of these rules are just common sense professional stuff, its just now they are written and have a defined penalty for breaking them. Matching timing and the replay viewing will probably be broken the most, at least until people get used to it. Language could also be broken the most because of the what an overseer perceives as an obscure reference.

I would assume they're allowed to call out mistakes, but will be talked to if they spend an entire series talking about how awful someone is.

They can call out mistakes. They cant bash the players "over all play". They can even say they don't agree with the play style, but they can't call it shit.

Nuance is king. Or don't be a jerk. Artosis is pylons can be called out for what they are.

aww cmon blizzard. bm chat is fun. and bm is part of every sport. ever heard of "trash talk"? as long as the bm stays inside certain measures (no racism, no sexims, no political statements, etc.), it adds a lot of fun to the viewing experience.
but well, we have to become more "professional", I guess.

why can't we be professional AND entertaining at the same time :/
first we make expand, then we defense it.

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.
B. Behavior – Players are required to behave in a sportsmanlike manner towards other competitors, members of the administration team, media, and fans.


So everybody be like grubby now? Hotbid won`t do any interviews for any WCS event for sure. What about freedom of speech? Maybe nani should just be completly silent in all interviews as a form of protest, but maybe that is not sportsmanlike. First the USA now Blizzard, no fun allowed.

The fines are quite small actually. To me this says: "You can officially tell your opponent to get fucked at the cost of 5% of your winnings, if you so desire."

Trash talk in soccer is being punished with a yellow or red card, so I don't get your point. Since starcraft players will most likely not hit each other, their fighting with their tongue. trash talk like idra goes for is not fun at all.

The definitions of misconducts are too vague. There is gonna be a lot of misunderstanding. Especially among the casters

[*]No chatting
  • J. During the game, players may not use chat except for a greeting, closing, and request for pause.



What in the fuck? Why? What's the concern, here?

The people citing "freedom of speech" are the best part of this thread.
