Found it by googling the lyrics. It's called Roar by Treat Coupe de Grace. Here's a link to it on the tube. :D

"Iron is young, fast, and beat Effort in Proleague once."
So did Tossgirl.

Seriously, the fact that former SC pro-team scrubs like Flounder and Idra is favorites says it all.

edit: off topic , does anyone think that terran dude looks like a semi-young Kevin Costner with long hair in a space suit

I would gladly pay if the pricing was reasonable , everyone harping on we need numbers for sponsors , it is a little unrealistic .
Either A: this is private viewing , meaning we are paying like cable , they dont need numbers to attract commercial airtime- , you are privately funding it .Not to mention for 20 American dollars i can get dsl or even dam near digital satellite service , with a great more content than just basic cable . The pricing seems a little unreasonable . What do numbers have to do with it . Are they going to lower the price if you hit a certain number , i do not think so . Or B ,they are trying to get them to make another GOM tv . However ; imo all the stream traffic on TL and other sites , can provide more than enough data sets for them to calculate the demographics ,
Please buy this overpriced stream , becuase we need to show there is interest in sc2 .. um.... i think they already know there is interest , ie. regional sales ,dramatic site member increases , not to mention the entire BW scene grandfathered in .
What it comes down to imo is , do you want commercials or not.......

However ;it is hard for me to believe with all the traffic concerning sc2 , that there is not enough data already online to reasonably calculate how lucrative English broadcasts are .

So once again how much is it worth ti keep commercials off of it .Someone has to pay for it ... but i dont see how a stream so small could attract major commercial sponsoring in the first place

If 3k poeple are willing to pay 20 buck's that looks more like a niche market ... I think overpricing a stream will have the opposite desired effect ; if you want to attract numbers you make it as inexpensive as possible , or free if at all possible .
It all sounds to me like the casters are are invested financially in the stream.
If it was moved back to a GOM TV type format it would be commercial and what does how many people are willing to pay ridiculous prices have to with anything , becuase they are now selling commercial-time ,,,,, makes no sense to me . The GOM tv numbers alone should give them an idea on English speaking viewers , coupled with regional sales should be plenty of data .. ..

Am i wrong in noticing that this has already been tried successfully with GOM . with the same caster as well

D: TLO has chicken pox, aka chickenbox according to his Facebook fanpage. Hopefully it goes away before next GSL match?

I think Blizzard is trying to cultivate this scene. Fortunately, they've got a ton of money lying around to try and cultivate this scene for at least a few years. Though if they haven't garnered the mass attention of people after the 3rd expansion, they might just throw in the towel.

I'd love to see the costs of these tournaments as a whole; sadly numbers we could never get easily. Assuming 5 mil each, 4 years of producing these would be about 240 million total assuming 12 tournaments a year. Since Blizzard makes about 1.5 billion in revenue each year on WoW alone, they're probably going to try their damndest to make this scene crazy so they could increase their profits exponentially.

And we all know Blizzard loves money after that 25 dollar crystal horsey controversy.
