Not sure how serious you can these kind of statements. Obviously it isn't their main income that still will be people attending and sponsors but having sold 33'000 online tickets from which they make probably around 2.00-2.50 per ticket after deduction still gives you a good 60'000 - 80'000 USD which you don't have when you show other games. | ||

Its unclear how where MLG is making the majority of their profits, but I bet its any from any sort of ticket sales. Like movies, I bet the tickets just go toward covering the cost of holding the event, while other things like food sales and promotions are where the cream comes from. The same goes for the online ticket sales. I don't think MLG is doing poorly or anything, but the huge numbers from the online tickets doesn't mean they are making bank off of them. | ||

Except the argument "It has always been like this in fighting games" it now goes "It is like this football/soccer etc." This is separate to whether Loda/Kellymilkies are exaggerating what apparently were 3 fans in the frontrow. The only video game related event I know of that had bad behaving crowds was WoW related, in which Blizzard employees riled the crowd up "horde is best, alliance sucks ass"(oh the irony). People in alliance(WoW) t-shirts were actually physically harrassed at that event. Hostile environments at events are an absolute no-go. According to reports it wasn't like that this time, but that doesn't make it better that people here in this thread defend such behavior in general for whatever reason. | ||

Its all about nuance and context. In this case is was just someone saying some mean things. In your example it is someone being physical harassed. We can support some fun trash talking with no intent of violence or harassment and not feed into a whole culture of physical harassment. We are all grown up and some good natured trash talking can be fine as long as people don't take it to far. On November 24 2013 01:24 walsh_walsh wrote: Somebody ran into Alliance in a bar yesterday. It's actually quite a cool photo. http://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/1r9s0b/we_ran_into_alliance_in_columbus/ (seems I can't post img links, I'll just post the thread) That is a super cute photo, hopefully this dissuades Alliance from thinking that all Americas are rude jerks. | ||

(Some dude from twitter) "You generalise an entire audience and even country over what was I assume no more than a few people?" (Loda) "did u even read what I wrote? I wrote that the vast majority were nice. 1 min after the tweet about "fuck loda"" (Loda) "I met A LOT of nice American fans/people today. You guys really really cheered me up when I needed it! #MLGColumbus you have impressed me!" Seem like appropriate quotes from Loda's twitter. I don't even follow twitter, but people were claiming there was some serious 'merica-bashing going on, so I went to go see what it was all about. Much to my disappointment, there was basically no drama at all  Does it say on reddit that Loda was bashing 'merica on his twitter, or something? It's a theory I've heard more than once but still haven't seen the root of. | ||
