It's the saddest thing in the SC world - how anything officially affiliated with blizzard completely ignores SEN/Maplantis.

What is this tournament, playing Melee, or map making? Because most people here are here to make maps, so obviously we don't stand a chance against the fansites that are all about really playing SC.

ask Moose if he could put this in the news section[or whatever shows up on the portal], IF its official. so everybody would know about it

It's not even that, from the way they describe it, it's like competition of who has a better site. And it doesn't matter because registration has already ended. This 'Kurane' PR guy for blizzard has probably never even hear of EUD's, or know anything about map protection.

This should just be deleted

Probably should be deleted, it's advertising.

You know, lets talk about this.

Eh. Fansites are extremely boring. There are a few major websites out there, and the other ones can be ignored. The fansites generally have the same thing as every other fansite out there. A few that specialize are better, but still.. most suck.
