I wanna hear them defending themselves at this, now we've just heard 1 side of the story and terrible posts like... ...from bandwagoneers/witch-hunters. oh please, please tell me what blizzard's side of the story could have been for wanting to not only shut down this tournment but cripple Afreeca? was I quick on my judgement? maybe, but its very unlikely that I would be proven to be wrong. not to mention the timing of this. | ||

"Hello, this is BJ Sonic. First I apologize once again for my carelessness, and disappointing everyone. I will acquire a license properly, wrap things up properly by holding the final, and make sure something like this doesn't happen again. I've never broke a license rule in Starcraft II...." + Show Spoiler + 안녕하세요. BJ 소닉입니다. 우선 경솔했던점에 대해. 그리고 실망하셧던분들에게 다시 한번 죄송합니다. 다시 한번 라이센스 결승전 제대로 따서. 결승전 진행 마무리 잘하고. 추후 이런일 없게 만들도록 하겠습니다. 스타크래프트2 같은 경우는.라이센스 어긴적도 없고. 위반했던적 없습니다.... Context wise, people on PGR21.com are getting on Sonic for being incompetent, saying there's almost no chance he didn't foresee this kind of issue given his position and the history of BJs and Blizzard games in Korea. Ofc, most people agree that Blizzard's ee han timing here was pretty awful. | ||

Why does anyone want to support Blizzard when they do stuff like this? What do we do? Do we create a BW replica so we can have tournaments? This is really sad. I Hope TL puts this on the front page... we can't tolerate this shit. Fuck man... Kim Carrier should get OGN to boycott SC2 unless Blizzard shuts up about fucking licenses for BW. | ||

The only positive is that now even the most benighted SC2 TL kiddie cannot deny Blizzard's intention is to destroy every last remnant of competitive BW. | ||

AND Of course they have to wait until the FUCKING FINALS, just like they waited until 2007 before doing anything about Brood War on TV. FUCK YOU They're not even making money of this. All they're accomplishing, is killing what's left of StarCraft 1. If this was a StarCraft 2 tournament, it would be allowed to run on its own, because it has a prize pool under $5000. But because it's Brood War, it has different rules. This OBVIOUSLY means that they just want to kill the game. Otherwise, it would have the same rules. These rules aren't even COMPARABLE to each other. And if you think I'm yelling because I'm using caps, it's because I am. mod:Edited out the LOLs because they were obnoxious and I didn't want to warn | ||

They kill off the scene of their most loyal fan base to make sure people buy their newest expansion at £30/copy. Fuck I hope this gets a ton of negative publicity on gaming sites or that's a huge fucking injustice there. edit: also just read the part about afreeca getting hit with copyright lawsuit. nobody can say this isn't hard evidence they're trying to kill off the BW scene to make way for SC2. | ||
