IEM is not paying streamers for the qualifiers while forcing logo use as well as in stream video ads, and rather than let them earn money through donations/subs, they have restricted the use of alerts.
@ApolloSC2 is this really what you want for the sc2 community?

Ok that's good to hear. The exact wording to the question "We cant have stream alerts even between games?" Was "If you want to say a general thank you for supporting by watching, subbing etc once in a while it's fine but no more than that" Which to me meant it's not allowed.
That's the impression I got as well. I have all sub/donation/raid notifications off for the whole stream - even game breaks. It does seem like an odd choice.
