Everyone wants to hate on Blizzard more than look at the weak excuses he is making lol, typical really. Also a ton of people in this thread outright support him, it's crazy.

it is.........JUAN TENA !

But very well. If you have a ladder qualifier, and ppl used to grind ladder all day for practise, but not exactly giving a fuck about the outcome....well what you expect. Sometimes even the Button for "Cancle Que" does not work...

There is zero chance of a players' union. Collective bargaining only works when there are giant owner-horded profits to bargain for. SC2 esports is a giant money loser.

There is zero, zero accountability at Blizzard. It is an old boys club, stuck in the 90's era where select IT "guru's" ruled over everything and could never be wrong.

Problem is, it is 2016, and garbage like "the technology just isn't there yet" fools exactly no one anymore.

I wish the cries would get louder from the sponsors, teams and people that matter in the scene, and force Blizzard's hand. It is time to clean house.


there is zero accountability because eSports is a money loser. they are donating cash into the scene so they can do anything they want. no indy league will ever rise up because there is no cash in it at all. Unless you think BTTV can seriously put together a legit competitor league to WCS... and i really doubt that.

Also, they are not a 90's era group. Their biggest success was WoW from 2005 to 2010 and that success can't happen if they are partying like its 1999.

In general SC is a really low priority for Blizzard. We have their bottom of the barrel guys working on this stuff. Their best people are busy making real money in truly lucrative genres.<<hey Overwatch!>> you have 1 thing right about 90s era though....RTS is 90s era.

Since June 2010 the SC franchise accounts for less than 2% of ATVI's total revenue. The SC franchise is not worth their time and people around here are just going to have to swallow that because there is no competition for the SC franchise in teh RTS marketplace.

See this is why a few pages back people were saying that what you're mostly doing is attacking Major instead of actually looking for a fair answer.

There is more or less still no more evidence about this fiasco, nor is there a PR statement or anything. You aren't here to discuss the merits of Blizzard's decision, you're here to attack major. It makes sense that someone who gets punished for no apparent reason (perhaps there's a reason but so far it's only conjecture) gets support.

You're also bringing up old things which are completely irrelevant to the topic at hand. What Major did in Brood War has nothing to do with the current situation and you bringing that up at all is a sign that you lack real substance behind your (personal) attacks on major. Nice of you to discredit yourself like that, we now know that you aren't actually looking to hear about what is true or not, you're looking to personally put down major.

Right now especially, it really seems that Major and the other players are more likely victim of Blizzard's poor organization of the ladder qualifier than they are cheaters who tried to exploit the system. Either way, so far what is factually correct is that :
- Players are having their reputations (and as such their careers) damaged severely right now.
- Lack of PR or more compelling evidence from Blizzard.

someone asked for a source on my "SC franchise made less than 2% of ATVIs revenue"
so i might as well post it here.

http://amigobulls.com/stocks/ATVI/income-statement/annual

$27.5 Billion from 2010 to 2015. Add another $4 billion in 2016 for ATVI while SC makes less than $0.05 Billion and it might even lose money.

WoL brought in less than $0.4 Billion. HotS and LotV both less than $0.1 Billion.
Nothing big is coming in RTS from Blizzard in 2016. So this is it.

as someone who doesn't know major and has never followed his games... OH PLEASE... anyone with a brain can figure out there was clearly foul play going on. why would he even be on the EU ladder at such a crucial time if he wasn't trying to shake up the competition knowing he himself was ineligible to participate in the EU challenger. "I was sick and got diarrhea so I q'd and left instantly. oh and i have a doctor's note the same day i find out i got DQ'd"

Sorry Major... sucks they dished out this penalty to you but don't cry wolf when you were the wolf. And i seriously doubt don't they didn't contact or at least attempt to contact him through e-mail. check ALL your e-mails man.

All that being said, I also think the vague rules and guidelines didn't help this situation at all either. Blizzard is not without fault.

I love how people gets upset for "i can't leave a game ! what if something happens". Well you see... in CS... if you need to get your pizza out of the door; It's 30 minute bans.

Second time ? It's one hour ban.

Third time ? 1 day ban.

4th time ? (stop ordering pizza seriously) 7 DAY MOTHERFUCKER !

Imagine this system in SC2 ? With a ladder race ? You wouldn't leave a game or queue without thinking. I know it's not the same thing but people shitting on blizzard for this is kind of funny where i even saw post of saying : "Valve would have done better" stuff.

For me the only thing that Blizzard done wrong is :

"Not contacting the offender directly". That could be for : "Hey you are banned" or "We need explanation" or "You are banned from X tournaments because of suspicion that we need to sort out". But they need to contact the offender. From what i know, even if your account is banned you will be notified by blizzard. So they need to notify players. Maybe the tournaments organizer got word from blizzard and took the decision before Blizzard could contact him but that seems unlikely. I just think Blizzard fucked off somewhere. But only there.

Yes, that's their only mistake. (that and banning KR but hey. Their house, their rules.)

The difference to CS GO is that there the players KNOW that they will get banned if they leave a game. Major didn't.
and there is a difference between being banned for 30 mins (you only get higher bans if you leave multiple games in a certain time period) and being banned permanently from a qualifier and being labeled a matchfixer.
Many of the coolest moments in sc2 happen due to worker harassment

i'd do it. i don't mind leaving a game if something else comes up. better than waiting doing nothing :D

in starcraft that is.

i don't like lol because you're forced to commit time to a game or face dumb consequences. it's just waste of time in some cases, quite stupid. probably why i'm not playing cs:go either: cba to wait on team mates. 1V1 is where it's at

That's one of the biggest problems with large team games IMO

You realize CS is a team game so if you leave your team probably loses?
Whereas in sc2 if you leave your opponent is happy.

Blizzard trial:

Blizzard v Player

Plaintiffs seek an injunction against the Defendant whereby the Defendant will leave "the pizza man" at the door until the ladder match has come to terms with a clear victor [to be recorded in the Blizzard ladder]. In the case of non-compliance, Plaintiffs will further seek pecuniary damages for the moral harm done to the community, as well as WCS, by the willful and reckless departure of the player from "the ladder game" by the Defendant.

Defendant's counsel, how do you plead?

Well tbh the game itself isn't so great, the Campaigns besides WoL were bad (although many people disagree here on LotV), and given that Blizzard is trying his best to fuck up - tbh I'm not supporting that company anymore, won't buy Overwatch, I even stopped Heroes. All because I'm so disappointed at what they did with WCBullShit 2016.

They should just forbid leaving games. Up from now on, you have to fight till your last building falls on ladder.

Everything else could be wintrading.
