TOURNAMENT WARS: battle for north america

i Hope this is worth the hype for T_T

Fuck wars, the more tournaments the better. Why would these guys ever try to make this a competition. If they're both serious about expanding e-sports here in North America, then the only clear way to do it is to work together, not have a tournament pissing contest.

Some huge ass toes could be stepped on. Competition can drive prize money and push popularity, or it could just push MLG to take out SC2.
And, by the way Sundance is speaking, it seems like this guy's first priority is to be profitable, not drive the growth of SC2.

Based on the interview happening right now with Sundance, I cannot see him being like "fuck you incontrol SAY GOODBYE TO SC2 WITH MLG MWAHAHAHAH." Not a chance in hell.

That's probably true; it is more established. But, it's about profit. Look at it from his point as the CEO, a businessman, as if he couldn't care about SC2.

Or look at it from his point as a spectator and fan who wants to expand e-sports and is really working hard to get this shit running.

He doesn't, and there's nothing wrong with that. It's not like esports is some charity, it's founded upon business. Dude wants to make money, but that doesn't mean he won't end up making sc2 more popular anyway. Its like they said on SOTG, stop getting too serious about it.

this is truly incredible

They might have made a breakthrough in quantum physics and managed to make starcraft an alternate reality in wich we can experience being a marine firsthand without having to fear for our lives.
|
i think they are creating a 9 man gaming house and there is gona be a reality tv-show from the house and there is gona be a inhouse tournament. thats my 2 cents :D hehe theorycraft!
|
Pretty sure its gonna be a gaming house though... He slipped something at the end of SotG : in relation to his incontrolTV stream " .. there is gonna be streaming of in house practice ... "
|
A lot of the theories here are pretty awesome my 2 cents is that we will be seeing some sort of event/party with LAN! and something that the community will be involved in. Hey Geoff what part of CA are you guys in LA?
I am in the area if you guys need any help or assistance go ahead and let me know always down to help.
|
some of his tweets dropping hints have letters that are in uppercase, anyone try to decode that?
|
There's also been talk about there only being 3 people in blizzard's balance team, and that 3 pro gamers of each race are moving to the place where their HQ is.
|
Incontrol, tell us already, the tease is killing all of us....
On that point, what's the deal between incontrol and totalbiscuit?

What is this supposed conflict between MLG and Geoff?
|
I'm betting this is all a huge setup to bring Unc to cali under the guise of a sc tournament and propose to her, have an immediate wedding, and go on a hot air balloon race around the world starting from LA.
And I hope she reads this, and when it's just a sc tournament after all, incontrol's punishment for taunting us all this time will be his would-have-been bride's disappointed but not sad or angry look on her face for a few weeks. At which point he'll realize he made every nerd in the world happy but forgot the one person who truly mattered, but it will already be too late to save the relationship from a long, painful implosion.
On his deathbed, after a life of starcraft and the loneliness of the love that could have been, he'll remind everyone of the really cool amazing announcement he's saving for the afterlife.
I'm sure whatever he's got cooked up will be worth it, though!
lolololololol @ "they're going to finish ascension"

Extended series man.. MLG is the only starcraft tournament in the world that has their rules layed out by Halo, so Geoff ranted alot about it when the other MLG guy was over.
The most memorable was "I will fucking smash you in arm wrestling. Do I really need a little kid punching you in the balls next time we meet?"
