Punishing chat which does not have to be bad behavior and might actually be nice/funny but not punishing rude behavior like not writing gg or not writing gl hf or flaming the opponent at the end ("closing statement") seems misplaced.

Also I wonder if "may not use [...] racist comments" includes the starcraft races.

So pretty much the reasoning here is : "Lets take away everything that makes the sc2 community so great and make it stiff and boring". Those rules are ridiciolous, Make a dress code and act like corporate workers next time. This is Bullshit.

I'd be down with the dress code:

Players must be dressed as: A pirate, comic book hero of choice, a pro wrestler, a teletubby, a pokemon or go naked except for being wrapped in the flag of their country of origin. Naniwa must always wear a banana-suit.

Give penalty money to the person who knocks the player committing the penalty out of the tournament instead!

This is so depressing. Wcs-rules that almost (for us that like entertaintment, anyway) seem inspired by the Russian guy with the moustache that died in the 50's. People being warned for just about anything on this site. Internet and society watched over by Big Brother making Orwells remindings weep tears of blood in his grave.

I'm kinda surprised there's no rules about using a barcode account in a tournament setting. They should make it a rule to require players to use an account with their ID. It's a real distraction and can lead to some confusions when it's a mirror matchup between barcodes.
If you don't like it, you can quit.

So, to make it constructive, does anyone know an interesting game to pick up watching? Requirements are interesting gameplay, an open-minded community where fun is allowed, enough content in english to watch, but without aspirations to become a "serious sport", ability to play it on a minimum-sc2-level hardware.

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 :/



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.


Ah, the classic "well since this is the way it is in AFK sports we need to follow suit"-line of thought.

Well no, we don't. Why the fuck should we care what people do in soccer?


Because de poster of the original message said "every sport"???
Care to read before respond?


Yeah, you're right. I read it too quickly. Sorry. :/

Disagree with a few things. Having no chatting is sort of stupid. I feel like that should be entirely up to the players. Clearly Blizzard (or whoever came up with these) wants the game to be really SERIOUS. No fun, not ever!! The game would feel so impersonal without any chatting, too.

And no replays seems a bit silly. If both players are okay with it, then I'd much rather accommodate them over the viewers (by starting the match sooner?)

Another iffy one is the part with the no abusing "bugs". Obviously some bugs and "exploits" can be game-breaking, but there can always be some minors tricks and whatnot that people do. Blizzard gets butthurt when people find bugs in their game. I remember some guys in WoW got a world first for some raid by doing some trick, and Blizzard actually revoked their world first achievements.

I can tolerate the "Language" rules and others, though.

They cannot show up to play intoxicated. Grabbing a beer or three the night before the tournament shouldn't be an issue, but showing up obviously drunk a la Stephano is another matter.

Don't know why some people are upset at what were already de facto rules being enforced on paper now.
Players weren't really talking in the games anyway, yeah they were like last year (like Stephano) but almost no one does now.

Please tell me what´s so funny about that.

Freedom of Speech applies to governments repressing their people, not Sc2 players being told not to curse or be total assholes while in game.

There is our way or the go-fuck-yourself way.


also, don't go silly in the other direction to prove your point.

Blizzard must abide by the laws of whatever country they are in when executing a WCS event.
fighting is a legal part of many minor hockey leagues. players get charged by the crown with assault for fighting.

the no alcohol thing is Blizzard saying they want SC2 to be in the 13+ or 14+ age group.
they do not want the game to be "adults only". and they do not want alcohol marketed to minors. wise move on their part.
