The IPL events always seemed over-produced and very expensive to put on. I always wondered what their margine were, or if they were operating at a loss ...

I think this is going to be a bad year for SC2, to be honest. I don't see HOTS doing anything to expand the user/fan base — something the SC2 esports scene desperately needs. I half-expect MLG and NASL to scale back a bit.




There was a post somewhere yesterday where they pointed to links of interviews with David Ting saying they were breaking even and on the road to paying off IGN sometime this year. Their biggest lost was IPL 3 at around 1 million dollars but they are already paying it back.


It's just high-risk high-cost business with a low pay-off. I think they were banking on the audience of SC2 to grow signifiicantly, but if anything other tournaments and games are cutting into it, and they audience is shrinking.

IGN just doesn't seem like the kind of media company that thinks 'breaking even' is good enough. Most companies don't invest a million of dollars just so they can get their money back, unfortunately.


The thing is that IPL isn't SC2 only but also LoL and to a lesser extent Shootmania.




Agreed with both of you. But the weird thing is that there's not much talk about the cancellation of IPL6 on the LoL side of things. Is it because their lack of a community hub like TL, or they just don't follow the sc2 community on twitter that started all this? Nothing against either, just a thought.


There isnt much noise from the LoL side because we already know its cancelled.

We've been thinking about this as well, it's a great idea.
We are looking into possibly renting out some space at the Cosmo and throwing a viewing party for all of our awesome fans to watch the LCS games that will now be played at our studio in LA. Details TBC shortly.
By the way, we will also be doing a makeup tournament for the challenger teams that qualified for IPL 6, and hosting at least some of the matches at the LCS studio a few weeks later.

It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death

Comrade Scoots destroying the freedom-loving e-sports scene one announcement at a time.

I really hope that IPL/IGN announce something formally today. We're rapidly passing the point of no return here. Regardless if they magically save the event, they're going to be hurting players and spectators alike without some kind of closure.

It was unofficially announced to be canceled like three or four days ago by other timezones, does not matter about working days or business hours or anything like that there are people that can straighten the record and they should have done it a long time ago with something this serious. They know.

IGN updates their main website 24/7, there is no excuse for this silence.. There is not even a single tweet from anyone at IPL.. they are handling this situation in a really bad way.

The fact that a large % of you think IPL has any say in this and that aren't being silenced by ZD is rather adorable.

IPL really needs to make a statement one way or the other. It's incredibly poor taste that they won't speak on the issue when so many people are involved and stand to lose money.

Well, this all kind of happened on a Friday. It's Monday morning now, the next business day, so I would expect something today if we're gonna get anything.
I'd rather be dead in California than alive in Arizona.
