Why would it affect ACL? It's out of our control and doesn't affect any of our players. Our tournaments will always run for as long as they need to.

It wouldnt be the first time a tournament has changed dates because a bigger event/s has double booked the date.

couple that with the fact theres been no update from ACL for about a month now (im sure you guys have been busy with OCS3 etc) and we're about 17 days out from the event with no details on schedule or open bracket registration, it isnt farfetched for some doubts to creep in.

iirc scheduling conflicts are only prohibited if the prize pool is over $10k

I'd imagine wcs only affects ACL in terms of twitch numbers. the Hong Kong tournament should affect some players on the second day of ACL if they qualify for the semis/ finals

Chris you of all people I would of thought would realise the impact and challenges of changing an event date for an event as large as ACL, let alone realise Starcraft 2 is only part of the picture.

The entire core ACL team have been working flat out the last few months on producing and delivering on the OCS3 qualifiers and finals. You need not be concerned if ACL Melbourne is going ahead or not. Expect a lot of updates in the next few days.
