當所有人都在猜測為什麼BZ到現在都還沒有發布HGC的任何消息時
BZ終於在今天發出了聲明
以下翻譯:
We’re constantly changing and evolving not only our games, but how we
support and grow them. This evolution is vital to our ability to continue
doing what we love to do—making great games—and it’s what makes Blizzard,
Blizzard.
長久以來我們不只專注在改進我們的遊戲，也同時專注在我們怎麼支持整個環境
這讓我們成為BZ, 那個創造經典遊戲的BZ
Over the past several years, the work of evaluating our development processes
and making hard decisions has led to new games and other products that we’re
proud of. We now have more live games and unannounced projects than at any
point in the company’s history.
過去的幾年來，我們做過很多困難的決定，這些決定讓我們創造了許多讓我們驕傲的遊戲
我們現在擁有的遊戲和進行中的案子是有史以來最多的
We’re also at a point where we need to take some of our talented developers
and bring their skills to other projects. As a result, we’ve made the
difficult decision to shift some developers from Heroes of the Storm to other
teams, and we’re excited to see the passion, knowledge, and experience that
they’ll bring to those projects.
因為這樣，我們必須要做一些人事異動，把一些設計師從英霸的團隊調到其他案子上
我們期待這些天賦能在其他案子上繼續展現所長
This isn’t the first time we’ve had to make tough choices like this. Games
like Diablo II, World of Warcraft, StarCraft II, Overwatch, and more would
not exist had we not made similar decisions in the past.
這不是我們第一次做類似的決定，暗黑二、魔獸、星海二，我們都曾做過相似的決策
Despite the change, Heroes of the Storm remains our love letter to Blizzard’
s worlds and characters. We’ll continue actively supporting the game with
new heroes, themed events, and other content that our community loves, though
the cadence will change. Ultimately, we’re setting up the game for long-term
sustainability.
儘管有著這些改變，英霸仍然是我們暴雪社群重要的一環，我們會繼續創造新英雄，
主題活動，和其他大家喜愛的內容。我們對英霸有長久經營的計畫
We’re so grateful for the support the community has shown from the
beginning, and the development team will continue to support Heroes with the
same passion, dedication, and creativity that has made the game such a unique
experience.
我們感謝所有從開始到現在支持我們的粉絲，英霸團隊會繼續帶著熱情和創造力為玩家
帶來獨特的遊戲體驗。
We’ve also evaluated our plans around Heroes esports—after looking at all
of our priorities and options in light of the change with the game, the
Heroes Global Championship and Heroes of the Dorm will not return in 2019.
This was another very difficult decision for us to make.
我們同時也評估了英霸電競，在評估所有的選項和可能性後，我們決定2019將不會有
HGC 和 Heroes of the Dorm，這對我們真的是一個艱難的決定
The love that the community has for these programs is deeply felt by everyone
who works on them, but we ultimately feel this is the right decision versus
moving forward in a way that would not meet the standards that players and
fans have come to expect.
我們團隊深深感受到所有人對這項活動的熱愛，但我們相信我們做了正確的決定。
與其繼續維持但沒辦法達到職業選手和粉絲的期待，我們相信停辦是更正確的選擇
While we don’t make these decisions lightly, we do look to the future
excited about what the decisions will mean for our other live games and all
the projects we have in the works. We appreciate all of our hard-working
developers and everyone in the Blizzard community, and look forward to
sharing many more epic gaming experiences with you in the future.
我們相信這些決定對我們整個社群和其他進行中的案子是有幫助的。
我們感謝所有努力工作的設計師和每一個暴雪社群的人，我們期待在未來與你們分享更多
更精采的遊戲體驗。
J. Allen Brack and Ray Gresko
心得:
這是今天剛出爐的新聞稿 身為熱愛英霸的玩家 看完之後也是蠻難過的
現在北美Twitch上慘聲一片 有幾個每天開台練習的選手今天都沒開台
幾個主播也開台跟大家聊聊這件事 對於BZ的決定也只能接受了
我其實對於BZ做這樣的決定感到意外
英霸也許不能跟LOL或CSGO DOTA幾個電競巨獸比
但我認為英霸也累積了一定的觀眾數 BlizzCon也是可以有7.8萬人觀看
而這樣的聯賽一旦取消 是不可能再有機會復活的
直接放棄英霸電競 轉向支持其他的案子
是真的確定其他案子能比英霸有更大的收益嗎?
其實英霸的業餘聯賽 Heroes Lounge發展得很不錯
在歐洲已經打了八季 今年是北美第一季 我也被朋友找去打
下次有機會再來介紹Heroes Lounge
另外可以看得出電競世界的殘酷 天時地利人和真的缺一不可
說真的現在除了幾個大遊戲外 選手甚至主播的環境真的很不穩定
今天消息一出 又要這些選手跟主播何去何從呢?
不過我還是會繼續玩英霸啦 英霸真的很好玩啊哈哈
之後有機會再多發一點文章 看能不能為這個社群盡一點棉薄之力
R.I.P HGC
