EPTBut guess it is really in the talks then, if they would really decide on it though ... from a las vegas 5 star to a motel on the highway ? Maybe the new owners think that would work out, you never know with the manager type, some are really hit and miss.

Even if this event takes place, whats really going to come out of it for IGN? its just going to be a give-away of cash and a large amount of spending. AS the brandbuilding of IPL stops right here no matter what. Even if IPL gets purchased by another company(which i highly doubt). It wont be called IPL and it almost certainly will have to be downscaled. ( no more cosmo etc) | ||

Important Edit: I just talked to a few people close to the issue, and their advice was that if you are considering cancelling/changing your plans, that probably a really really good option to consider...Again, not 100% and i don't have confirmation from IGN. Just what i've heard.......dot dot dot dot. http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/19fqka/ipl6_canceledpostponed/c8nmm3k | ||

Brandon Storck @BrandonStorck @SirScoots Everything that is going into IPL6 makes canceling somthing on this scale a huge loss no matter what as with any event this scale Scott SmithVerified account @SirScoots @BrandonStorck Yes, and the point you are missing is the CXL is still less cost than going through with the operation. Brandon Storck @BrandonStorck @SirScoots I disagree, there is a much larger picture here. The total loss of running IPL6 is less than cancelling the event. Scott SmithVerified account @SirScoots @BrandonStorck I am not talking marketing/brand issues with the cxl here, I am speaking of cold hard cash costs of the cxl, that is all. stolen from earlier in the thread | ||

They'll probably need it as the games will most likely suck. | ||

Such a mature business model we have for this scene here in the west. That's really not it at all, at the very least this is information that is very much in the public interest (especially for people who might potentially lose a lot of money from having to move and/or cancel flights/hotels). Journalism lives and breathes by breaking stories, and being the first to break a story. It's one of the foundations of modern journalism, and is extremely cutthroat because of the immediacy of the internet. Personally, I praise anyone that would put themselves out there in order to expose information like this. While spoiling player signings/contracts/announcements is a whole different story, it still has it's place for bringing viewers and readers into online publications - while it may be annoying for organisations to have to deal with, it's just a fact of life at this stage. | ||
