The competition itself is irrelevant, because obviously there is no competition in a game like minecraft. There is none cause you say so? Define some rules, let people play against each other and it will be competitive. Maybe you don't like it, but still... (i btw have no idea either what they will be doing there, but "mc is for kids" alone is highly ignorant) | ||

"please give us your input.. we need the community". i do not know how Mr. Morhaime does it. but, i'm glad he does because i'm about to hit the "find match" button. Seriously, Mike Morhaime should be revered by all SC fans, he saved us. I remember in WCS EU season 1 ro8, in between games they got a skype call going with MM, he was talking about how awesome Mvp v DIMAGA game 2 was (which it was, absolutely insane). | ||

It's the least-competitive, lowest-skill game that has ever made it to Twitch - but that's okay, because Minecraft is about creativity. Maybe the competition is more like... art based? Like, each player gets an hour to make something and then a panel of judges give it a score. Like figure skating. | ||

One is a card game like Yu-Gi-Oh, and the other is... Well I never played Minecraft. I play both minecraft and HS for fun, but if anyone actually wants to claim they are competetive games, feel free to call them stupid. HS is pure RNG and netdecking since GvG (aside from it being a cardgame, so obviously it's s´really really random). And minecraft is a casual game if I've ever seen one. | ||

Minecraft can be art though, you know, like if they make a jury to vote for the best realisation over the year, there are some minecraft maps of middle earth or westeros that are pretty insane and certainly not made by 8 years old... Anyway, back on sc2 they already did this for sc2 France, announcing it at the last minute, the fact they keep testing the waters shows they're not exactly enthusiastic about sc2, well, so what? I mean it'd be the end of the world, it may even create space for a more motivated oraganizers to take over the vacant premier tournament spot... DH is not deciding anything about what games are making esport, in the end it's the audience (us) that decides what are the most viewed games are what are the most entertaining. and franckly we can't say we don't have plenty of extremely good games lately... let's just make them regret to have abandoned it (if it's confirmed) and move to the next tournament. IN short, let's give IEM Katowice crazy audience figures. | ||

I'm sorry I don't want to post stuff that I havent asked for permission to use. Besides, I could fake a skype screenshot any day, so I don't think that would add much to credibiltity. Upon being asked by a friend of mine, Hellspawn confimed that there will be no sc2 in Bucharest. My friend needed to know for visa reasons.

I saw the post a while back but back then it could have been not yet announced.

The information I got contradicts this. The organizer of DH Bucharest is a Romanian organization called PGL, and they, because the sc2 scene in Romania is basically non-existent, decided to swap sc2 with a game with more local support. The DH Bucharest lineup last year was sick, but if it does not appeal as much as, say Minecraft, does to the local audience, I completely understand the organizer. It's important to know that DH isnt responsible for everything at all the DH tour stops, those are "outsourced" to local organizers who get to use the DH brand to attract attention (and I guess DH makes quite a bit from it). Local organizers obviously have a say about their event. On March 10 2015 01:22 Ragnarork wrote: So this time it's not like DH:France? It's not just a "we don't announce it yet"? Look above.

Like figure skating. I'll just note that I've been to several LANs where a theme is released and teams submit their creative-mode made world within a deadline (usually quite long). It's impressive what some people manage to put together. | ||

I think this is actually a blessing in disguise. Dreamhack went down in quality to me lately, so I'm glad they stopped showing SC2. It will survive in other tournaments, like ESL One. | ||
