What makes this all the more scummy is that they also took back ALL of the winners prize money.
A tournament they touted so much, flaunted the 'massive' winnings... yet the moment they gotta pay up, they just yank them right back into their pocket and ban/condemn the winner of their Tournament entirely.
So where did the money go Blizzard? You wanna at least pay out the other players?
Fuck Blizzard. I've put more than 10,000 hours of my life into their games over the last 20+ years, and they've always held a special place in my heart, but that ends today. I can't support this. It breaks my heart. It feels like I've lost a close friend, but this bullshit cannot be tolerated. We cannot budge an inch on this, no matter what. Jesus. What a fucking shitshow.
