woo, immortal items
also there's a gigantic pomegranatestorm because blizzard plans to (not sure if they still are) hold their wcs finals on the same weekend as ti3 finals.
good luck getting viewers, blizzard.
still plan on doing it.
they made a statement on /r/starcraft about it, somehow managing to say absolutely nothing of substance while being defensive and trying to shame people who are annoyed about it. it's simultaneously baffling and hilarious.
the problems are going to be that a) twitch is going to crash and b) a lot of sc2 players are going to have to make a tough decision because a lot of them really want to watch TI3.
I guess once twitch crashes they won't have to make that decision anymore; there's no equivalent of Dota TV for Starcraft.
also it's a stupid as balls decision to hold all 3 on the same weekend regardless of what else is going on. Blizzard really fucked up.
