Also if you want more ad revenue, along with other streamers, pressure twitch to finish that damn flash player removal... | ||

 I don't see ANY other tournaments going for such a VIP experience as you 2 pulled off and was so jealous I wasn't there!For future open brackets, I like the idea of starting the casting at the ro8 or so and have community casters do the initial phase. Highlight clips of some of the earlier games would then be cool if its possible to pull off. I do love watching the open brackets, but I can understand the cost factor and that seems like a good compromise. As far as some of the people complaining about over-moderation. I mean meh... BTTV has created, imo, the absolute best twitch community and I've been saying it for more than a year now(love my partouf coin <3). Occasionally I think its difficult to decipher whether someone is being sincere or trolling, its the internet and you cant tell the manner in which someone is talking..typing.. whatever.. But either way, I mean,c'mon.. a comment being deleted.. big deal, some seem to take it so personally..Hell everyone can un-delete it. As far as people being banned, I haven't seen one that wasn't justified. How many other channels can you find that aren't full of people talking crap or saying ridiculous garbage just for shock value or to get a reaction? Can get enough of that in CS:GO lol.. Thank you so much Rif & ZG and everyone else for putting on an awesome event and cant wait for the next one! | ||

Money can be exchanged for goods and services. The typical model for an event would be tickets + sponsorships + Stream revenues etc... you wouldn't just say 'this revenue stream doesn't cover all the costs, so I won't care about it at all' Not everyone is in it for cash, in fact the vast majority of people who do these things are not, most of the money paid to the crew doing production and stuff just went back into a non-profit esports company to hold more tournaments and stuff. Most of us have...jobs, like we're adults with careers and stuff, we do it and take vacation time to do it because it's fun to do. It just doesn't make sense to look at this type of community funded as some attempt to make money, that's just so out of touch with any reality. Toronto is still the biggest SC2 hub in Canada.... period. It might be better if they were able to do it in like, Berlin or Seoul... but given that it's a Canadian event, that a whole tournament streaming and production crew lives in Toronto, that like 8 GMs live in the city with about 20 more within a 4-5 hour drive, and the largest population of any region in Canada...where the fuck else would you do it? Everywhere else would just lower attendance and add to the cost. This idea of 'follow the money' for what is for most people involved a volunteer hobby is just plain childish, and you don't seem to have any viable alternative to doing it exactly where it was done. Money is discussed because it was a crowd funded event, they're accountable for the money and how it was used, they're reporting the financial outcome to be transparent to the donors. I can't even figure out what you're ultimately getting at, you don't make any sense, you're speaking insanely vaguely and mostly saying things that apply world wide... UFC and WWE viewership is just down period, UFC peaked in 2008-2009, and WWE rating have been falling about 15% a year for the past 3 years...you can say 'viewership in this city is lower'...it's lower everywhere, you face the exact same results in any other city. You offer no alternatives, and it sounds like even if you did, the same issue would apply to another city, but cost more to do. | ||
