EPTI am SO excited for more Koreans to come and take the prize money, I think it grows the scene and creates a hero story-line when a foreigner is able to take games off of the Korean power-houses that they send

They hold these events to maximize profits. 70 times 256 players is 17920 dollars. This covers the prize pool but not much else. They rely on sponsorships to cover the rest. Convention fees, lighting costs, etc. I'm familiar worth lighting these events through work, and lighting alone can cost one million. Don't gripe about a seventy dollar entrance fee. (there's no way mlg is getting a major lighting designer and experienced crew with production lights, so their figure isn't even approaching one million. I used that number to show you how much goes on behind the scenes that you don't know about. There is an american tv show called Deal our No Deal that wad costing one million... PER EPISODE. I would guess for a number around fifty grand to maybe a hundred, though. Renting lights and the crew to set them up is really expensive) God that doesn't figure in convention center costs, power, film crew, production. Mind boggling how much sponsors are willing to give. Remember that the seeded pool players get in for free starting in Anaheim (when Pro Status kicks in). Furthermore, the top 16 players receive travel stipends starting with Anaheim as well, and that total is not factored into the publicized prize money. Lastly, a large portion of the 272 entrants received passes for free through contests, sponsor giveaways, etc. | ||

I would ask Blizzard on suggestions on how to setup. Going to be awesome, so much space for a main stage. | ||

Im talking about what Thorzain and morrow had to go true? Read his fan page if you unclear. How is this even fair it seems to me there is a huge difference in treatment against players in pool play and in open brackets. Also its preatty clear that you accommendation to the koreans was special treatment. How is it that the korean players got so much better accommendation then some of our EU superstars that came from the open bracket and didnt get a free undeserving spot in the pool pool. How do you expect to get Thorzain and Morrow back to the next mlg or get the EU superstars White-ra,kas, Dimaga, strelook to come under these unfair and allmost torture like conditions? Morrow and Thorzain both traveled half the world to come and play this MLG and play sc2 I dont think they expect it to be more of a survival race then actually sc2. I and many other europeans are really looking forward to you responds. | ||

So you can tell the hotel, when you make your reservation, that 1, 2, 3, or 4 people will be staying in the room, and it is still 129$/night.

Then assuming Moon doesn't show up either, it would be Huk next but he's in Korea so you never know... after that it's Tyler. So it could be Drewbie, Thorzain, Sheth, and Tyler rounding out the top 16 for Anaheim. | ||
