Inviting JonSnow is a nice gesture since I don't believe he's been in any of them. Hopefully he makes something of the opportunity and wins a game or two. Neeb, Scarlett, and SpeCial have been frequent SHOUTcraft Kings participants and likely have a standing offer to play each month if they respond with any timeliness. I suppose he could try to lob them some relatively softballs (non-Koreans) rather than feeding them to the lions (Koreans). | ||

What ? Just do us a favor and consider her a gamer first and foremost. But most importantly, why did you even bring that topic up ? What does it have to do with anything related to IEM or WESG ? | ||

Can you please go away with your transphobe bullshit? Misgendering a trans person is violent, as is associating trans people with mental disorders EDIT : Mods be praised | ||

What a fucking asshole. When someone writes hateful shit like this I need to call it out, it's hate speech and it's bullshit. | ||

I'm a huge Nony fan so I'm happy to see him play, but this is unfair to Neeb et. al. But let's be honest, I'm still going to watch IEM PC, because this is going to be a litmus test for esports into the Olympics. Boycotting this wouldn't just hurt SC2, but it could also hurt the legitimacy of all esports games and perhaps esports entry into Olympics. | ||

Asking ESL to make sure this doesn't happen again is also reasonable. Some people in this thread were advocating boycotting IEM forever. Boycotting IEM forever is counter productive and a total loss for the SC2 community, especially if ESL is willing to find a solution to this situation. You really think big companies behave nicely if you are buying their product anyways? Boycotting is the only thing that really hurts them. People talk about scheduling. But isn't the more outrageous thing that you can be DQed if you might not make it to the main event? I know it's because it is more convenient for the tournament organizers, but its quite ugly in my opinion. (Just because you can get away with having rules like these, doesn't make it right.) The qualification spot should be a right, not a duty to participate. I could understand if there was punishment for a no-show without prior notice, but that's a different matter than DQing from qualifiers. At least to me it seems pretty strange. That's why there are/should be substitutes. I remember a couple of players not making it to BlizzCon last year. These players were not DQed beforehand. | ||

I believe, defiantly boycotting someone who made a mistake is a somewhat childish behavior. Adults usually get things done by communicating and solving problems. | ||

Yes it's childish but it works, and you can't blame people for pursuing behaviour that gets the results they want. | ||

The problem with boycotting something is that it can hurt associated people/business/whatever which in this case is sc2. You have to think about what can happen, if it is worth to boycott something but at the same time hurt something you like. | ||
