Out of curiousity, when would be the time to start enforcing a rule then? Get rid of it? Because if it doesn't get enforced you might aswell right? Why wouldn't they start enforcing their own rules that they put in place?

If you're not going to enforce a rule, get rid of it. That rule is not what any of this is about, which is why I'm not really addressing it much

I do agree that im happy to see blizzard not going full rito on players the moment they "break" a rule however don't you think its a bit iffy to argue for something while a rule is being violated?

Why? By that logic if they're not enforcing one rule we shouldn't expect them to do anything by the rulebook

If Blizzard had an issue with the ladder games rule, they should have brought that up when we discussed it. Instead, they made no mention of that rule at all, and referenced that GSL not counting as a "competitive reason" to be in Korea was the cause for this

ok the rules state "A “qualifying foreign resident” may travel for non-competitive reasons outside of his or her country of residence only for a maximum of 5 weeks during the WCS Period" So he may travel to Korea, for non-competitive reasons

That's not what it means, it means he may only travel for 5 weeks for non-competitive reasons. We are saying that GSL is a competitive reason, therefore he should be allowed to stay longer. They are saying GSL is not a competitive reason, and so he should not

Well then the next part of the rule "and must obtain Blizzard's approval in advance before traveling outside of his or her country of residence during the WCS Period". Did he get Blizzard's approval before going to korea to participate in GSL?
