Regardless of the situation, we will still action upon "dead game" comments. As this is a sensitive issue for SC2 fans, please do not come into this thread and talk about SC2 players switching over to BW. This thread is also not about bashing Blizzard, David Kim, or the WCS system. | ||

It's featured news, so nobody is trying to hide it. But due to the Road to BlizzCon articles it was indeed buried under all the awesomeness. | ||

It was moved to Featured News because it needed more attention than just Community News. However, it coincided with BlizzCon preview release times so yes, it eventually ended up getting buried. | ||

After all these years I still can't understand why leagues and tournament organisers don't allow crowdfunding... Is this a legal thing? A matter of pride? | ||

Because offline leagues and tournaments of this magnitude (and even just your weekend events like DreamHack) cost a shit ton more than just the prize pool you see. Casters, production crew, tech crew, various other staff, venue (if they're not working out of their own studio). It's unrealistic to the point of being virtually impossible for a shrinking community like SC2's (which is probably at its lowest right now) to be able to come up with a significant fraction of those costs. It's orders of magnitude above getting MKP a flight to MLG (which incidentally happened while the scene was healthy and thriving and full of passionate people). | ||

Let me put it this way. If a company decides an endeavour like this would lose them too much money to be worthwhile, any kind of crowdfunding from a community of this size would simply not be sufficient to make it worthwhile. The "help" is so little when compared to the total cost of the operation that it practically doesn't matter. | ||

I doubt we would get such conveniences for Korean tournaments after all that's happened recently. But I think Blizzard should consider those to keep WCS alive next year. | ||

Your statement, even if sarcastic, makes absolutely no sense. | ||
