Better production value doesn't always mean they had to throw more money at it. I'm suggesting that most new ventures don't gain much money and barely break even. Over time though as production value and entertainment value grows (along with taking constructive criticism...aka not making it 21+ event) they will become more profitable or die out. IPL does have some great production value and a ton of potential. I don't think you could of said the same for the first MLG ever produced. Either way, I'm not happy about the lackluster showing of fans (not that I've seen pictures of the crowd today). I also know that this is the first time IGN has had a huge live event. If you actually think that the sponsors didn't know what they were getting into when taking on the first event then I have no idea. They obviously have the funding and the more events that they produce the more fans will come out (especially if it isn't 21+). Maybe I'm wrong though and IPL will merge with another league or die out. Eventually there should be 2-3 premier leagues and are setup around the same time each year. There is also LoL on Bally's stream | ||

Puma didn't 1-1-1 either game, it was more Whitera being super greedy the first game (warp prism + early 3rd got him rolled by the timing push) and in the second game he engaged with puma's army at his 3rd in a horrible fashion, losing his entire army + 3rd and just never came back. | ||

Do you know who the fuck is IGN actually? They can afford to make the investment. And it is not like equipment has a 0 value if you need to scrap everything early than expected, that kind of equipment can be sold to retrieve money. Starting a business is about taking risks, no one would open a shop if they didnt think it is their long term plan to make a living off it, so dont think that bigger companies think in an smaller way than your average small town shopkeeper. | ||

Yeah but Starcraft II is the center main stage game. It hasn't always been that way with MLG or any other tournament (minus NASL). | ||
