But I think LoL or Dota are not the right games to unite everybody. SC2 could have like 8 player matchups with huge maps. that would be pretty awesome.. | ||

Comments on the internet mean nothing unless a high profile player, caster, or event-runner says something really stupid that hurts their image. People don't really hate LOL we're just annoyed about the crashes and huge delays. | ||

Yeah, it's Carmac (or the troll character Uszat), I thought the funny part was how Machine didn't know Carmac and not that the interview spoke bad english? | ||

Thank Blizzard and their 5k tournament restrictions and generally not giving a fuck about things that don't make them profit. Does Blizzard take half of the IEM advertising revenue because of the SC2 tournament? | ||

Since every stinking SC2 tournament started posting a $50,000 prize pool. I still think $6500 is awesome enough to attract the top pros from around the globe. Plus IEM is a frequent tournament not an infrequent one! Kudoz to them for making a long term investment and hosting tournaments all over the globe, not just a single locale annually. | ||
