Ok, I found this out and literally broke down...

I spent the last solid month saving up money in my the shit hole that is KFC, taking up extra shifts etc just to go and when Tastosis was announced I was bouncing off the walls with happiness, literally. I poured my heart and soul in to growing eSports and helping my team Teknicity eSports getting to where it is today, doubling it's social media presence and spending countless hours fixing up the website, talking to sponsors and helping my boys. StarCraft is where I want my future to grow, it is a beautiful game and one designed for everyone to enjoy.

BarCraft I understand the concept of but a Blizzard WCS qualifier final? Why? Don't get me wrong I love having a drink and hanging with mates, it's awesome and I have a good ID that I can use to go clubbing and buy drinks etc but I can't even go to what pretty much is now my life just to watch and meet some of the people I have looked up to for a long time now. I cannot use the ID however as I know most people on here will know I am not in fact 18 especially after I post this blog...

If you were with a guardian and was under supervision would you be allowed in, like say a pub?
It kills me inside to realise that I cannot go to an event I have looked forward to for a months now, especially after BiGbiRd qualified and the rest of my team is going.

Thanks for reading

Maxim.

Licensing laws mate. Blizzard needs to abide by this shit otherwise you get the wrong kind of spotlight on eSports, and that's not the kind of publicity ANYONE wants.

It is how it is. Sorry. Keep trying, but don't get your hopes up.

Re: WCS Oceania 18+

Surely if there's an exception for under 18 players, the same can be extended to a team manager!

Team managers aren't acknowledged in any professional capacity. It's just a self-awarded digital title, it doesn't come with an ABN, nor is it recognised by the tax authority. It's not that simple I'm afraid.

The exception for participants is quite clear. Not only are they in a separate area of the venue, but they're under administrator supervision.

Unfortunately it seems our hands are tied, there's nothing Blizzard or ACL can do to get the venue to budge on this. I suggest your parent/guardian makes an appeal with the venue management. You might be able to work something out that way.

I'm really sorry. If there's anything we could do, we would.



UPDATE
[4:07 PM] TekMezjE: Dox
[4:07 PM] TekMezjE: ATP JUST CALLED ME
[4:08 PM] TekMezjE: They said Under 18s will be allowed in but with a writstband saying we cant drink
[4:08 PM] TekMezjE: I asked 100% and she confirmed it was the StarCraft event
[4:08 PM] TekMezjE: She gave me a number to call if you want to confirm too
[4:08 PM] TekMezjE: I sent them an email asking about it and they called me then.

Re: WCS Oceania 18+

This is kinda disspointing.. i know so many under 18 fans that want to go just kinda makes it sad since there are so many who are missing out on such a chance to see Tastless and artosis and also the pros of australia.

Sorry to hear about it :'(

Re: WCS Oceania 18+

Thanks for the effort Dox, very true about the management title.

Infeza and iaguz travelling there with a fake ID I feel is too risky but certainly viable given I have a borderline perfect one.

Ill think it over and will try messaging the venue.

Ty all!

BIG NEWS!

CONFIRMED UNDER 18S ALLOWED IN, WRISTBAND SYSTEM WILL APPLY TO SHOW WHO IS OVER AND 18 FOR DRINK PURCHASING!

I wrote ATP (venue) a long email regarding their licensing and they told me the above information. To make sure they knew the event I was talking about I asked probably around 10 times if it was StarCraft and it was indeed!
