If you could repeat and be present in any big SC2 tournament (all MLGs, GSLs...) from last year, which one would you chose??


oh btw, thanks for the link to "the impossible win"


I would love more then anything to see a live GSL. However every MLG and IPL 3 were absurd fun.

Have you considered running reruns or broadcasting a bit earlier for European viewers?
(I know I can watch vods but I always forget).


Yes, it's a lack of a restream machine atm holding us up. It's been a very high priority for me for a long time.

Man that's REALLY hard. IPL 3 was amazing, every MLG rocked, TSL 3 was absurd good, GSL is always amazing.

I really have no clue.

Are you in contact with any of the Chinese leagues about maps (gleague) for example, since a lot of the players state that the Chinese tournaments consist of ladder maps.

Not really. I don't know anyone in G-League and refuse to work with the previous group I was working with. As I mentioned before (maybe it was on Reddit) the Chinese scene needs to stop secluding itself to grow.

if I remember correctly the latest weekly had Chinese participants (if not earlier ones had to), did they sign up like anyone else or do they have some contact with you?

(you mentioned in the esv 2012 monthly thread about trying to get seeds for foreign events, it would be really interesting to see some Chinese players at foreigner events).

I have a Chinese contact that knows all the players, but afaik does not know a lot of the admins. However I will have to ask, you bring up a good point.

I've got 2 questions (with subquestions): What exactly was your relationship with Iccup when you were doing Iccup.TV? How did you get involved with ICCup? Were you ever involved with their ladder and antihack operations, or were you solely there for iccup TV?

The second one is, Have you ever done Mafia at a major Starcraft event? If not, how willing would you be to play?

iCCup TV was a company I started just working for, and when it dissolved I was majority owner.

I got involved with iCCup as a forum admin back in BW.

Forum mod into iCCup TV only.
