当所有人都在猜测为什么BZ到现在都还没有发布HGC的任何消息时
BZ终于在今天发出了声明
以下翻译:
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.
长久以来我们不只专注在改进我们的游戏，也同时专注在我们怎么支持整个环境
这让我们成为BZ, 那个创造经典游戏的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.
过去的几年来，我们做过很多困难的决定，这些决定让我们创造了许多让我们骄傲的游戏
我们现在拥有的游戏和进行中的案子是有史以来最多的
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.
因为这样，我们必须要做一些人事异动，把一些设计师从英霸的团队调到其他案子上
我们期待这些天赋能在其他案子上继续展现所长
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.
这不是我们第一次做类似的决定，暗黑二、魔兽、星海二，我们都曾做过相似的决策
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.
尽管有着这些改变，英霸仍然是我们暴雪社群重要的一环，我们会继续创造新英雄，
主题活动，和其他大家喜爱的内容。我们对英霸有长久经营的计画
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.
我们感谢所有从开始到现在支持我们的粉丝，英霸团队会继续带着热情和创造力为玩家
带来独特的游戏体验。
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.
我们同时也评估了英霸电竞，在评估所有的选项和可能性后，我们决定2019将不会有
HGC 和 Heroes of the Dorm，这对我们真的是一个艰难的决定
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.
我们团队深深感受到所有人对这项活动的热爱，但我们相信我们做了正确的决定。
与其继续维持但没办法达到职业选手和粉丝的期待，我们相信停办是更正确的选择
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.
我们相信这些决定对我们整个社群和其他进行中的案子是有帮助的。
我们感谢所有努力工作的设计师和每一个暴雪社群的人，我们期待在未来与你们分享更多
更精采的游戏体验。
J. Allen Brack and Ray Gresko
心得:
这是今天刚出炉的新闻稿 身为热爱英霸的玩家 看完之后也是蛮难过的
现在北美Twitch上惨声一片 有几个每天开台练习的选手今天都没开台
几个主播也开台跟大家聊聊这件事 对于BZ的决定也只能接受了
我其实对于BZ做这样的决定感到意外
英霸也许不能跟LOL或CSGO DOTA几个电竞巨兽比
但我认为英霸也累积了一定的观众数 BlizzCon也是可以有7.8万人观看
而这样的联赛一旦取消 是不可能再有机会复活的
直接放弃英霸电竞 转向支持其他的案子
是真的确定其他案子能比英霸有更大的收益吗?
其实英霸的业余联赛 Heroes Lounge发展得很不错
在欧洲已经打了八季 今年是北美第一季 我也被朋友找去打
下次有机会再来介绍Heroes Lounge
另外可以看得出电竞世界的残酷 天时地利人和真的缺一不可
说真的现在除了几个大游戏外 选手甚至主播的环境真的很不稳定
今天消息一出 又要这些选手跟主播何去何从呢?
不过我还是会继续玩英霸啦 英霸真的很好玩啊哈哈
之后有机会再多发一点文章 看能不能为这个社群尽一点棉薄之力
