Viewercounts for WCS are going to get WRECKED. No way they can compete with The International. Twitch Servers are going to get a meltdown, while TI3 is happily going to soar through the ingame spectating client and apparently it's gonna get streamed on youtube as well: [url]https://twitter.com/BTSGoDz/status/359535357290758146[/url]

And this is fucking stupid and was entirely avoidable if it was organised by someone with even a shred of common sense. If this was some last-minute organised tournament, sure. But this is fucking TI3. The single biggest tournament in e-Sports. Aside from that it royally screws over organisations that have a team in each.
