After reading the starcraft reddit comments, I can see why you were more apprehensive than with the dota2 community.

GL with this one as well.

well, I'll be the first one to admit going in that we knew this would be more challenging than the dota 2 one, but i think we made some cool rewards and hopefully the strength of our previous articles carries through.

Love how so many of the rewards have connections to Starcraft personalities. The $1.5k one is especially funny, how you could get anyone to actually agree to do that is beyond me, but it'll probably be absolutely hilarious (if someone ponies up...I can't say I can spare that much, even though I do live pretty close to NYC lol)

Really interesting to see how apprehensive folks are on reddit relative to the dota2 KS. I guess I don't spend much time on screddit these days but I hadn't realized how much past fundraising has impacted the community.

Good luck with the funding though! ESEX is great and these rewards are really funny: the idea of a floppy disc is hilarious and I'm sure archon mode + lunch with various people will all be great. Curious to see if someone actually goes for the date with smix lol

edit: also how the hell did I miss the Sons of Sons of Starcraft article wpwp

I think anyone who uses the excuse that "well we donated to KS projects in the past and got burned" hasn't really done their homework on ESEX and is just "karma whoring" as they call it.

This isn't some scumbag friend of Tastosis, This is a pretty "professional" ( can't really call HotBid that with a straight face) group of content producers and you will definitely see value come out of them.

Well, I think if you have a satire article (like the DOTA2 one) going with the KS it would be easier to make people donate

I will chip in some money when I got back home from work.

I'm all about StarCraft, but I happily gave some money to Dota2. Hopefully some of the Dota2 enthusiasts will do the same for SC2.
Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not. 파이팅! ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ"

considering what's happening on a weekly basis all over the news since a few months, I found the video of the KS project quite out of place

that's prolly just me tho ...

Ehhh... I wouldn't count on it. Dota fans are the one group that rivals Starcraft fans in terms of superiority complex, so I don't see many donating to a competing game

A lot of Dota fans have problems with LoL, but they don't really have a superiority complex towards SC2. I think it's just more that they don't overlap and most Dota fans don't have any idea about this.

Not gonna lie, the lunch with Catz is tempting. WCS group stages are still in the ESL Studios, which are doable for me, and if I wanna get involved with esports in a meaningful way, he'd be a hell of a brain to pick, not to mention the possibility of getting an "in" with two known names. Do I have $150 to spare, though...we'll see.
The world is better when every background has a chance.
