Now, since IPL/IGN just moments ago openly told Gamespot that they decline/ choose not to comment on the rumor it's now relatively safe, based on the above assumptions, to say that they are in the process of nearly finding a potential buyer and hope to seal the deal before the IPL tournament goes live. If they already had a buyer then there would be no reason to not comment on it, and If no buyer was actually present then there would be no meaning in prolonging the situation and just officially cancel it or postpone it. | ||

 Wonder which executive at Ziff Davis decided cancelling this with less than a month to go was a good idea. | ||

Plenty of people made plans in advance, flights hotels etc. Cancelling an event on such short notice ( which hasn't even came yet officially ) would leave IPL liable for all the hotels and flights cancellation fees that their customers will be stuck with. Morally, maybe. Legally? I would at the very least question that claim, if that's what you're getting at. | ||

Why on earth would they cancel the event if it costs them more? Even with all those fees (and how many people would actually try to get that money from IGN?), they will save money. | ||

Also this whole "SC2 is dying" / "f2p would save SC!" stuff is still a thing? I thought we got over that nonsense months ago? | ||

...The Cosmopolitan, which is still accepting purchases for spectator and VIP tickets, told Polygon that the tournament has not been canceled by event organizers.... http://www.polygon.com/2013/3/1/4044752/ign-to-cancel-ipl6-esports-tournament-says-report | ||

Glad I decided not to go to this one. :/ Also this whole "SC2 is dying" / "f2p would save SC!" stuff is still a thing? I thought we got over that nonsense months ago? Of course, because IGN is a company that was 100% reliant on the success of Starcraft 2 | ||
