Wow, I can actually understand why girls like MMA that much. When he concentrates he looks quite adorable. No, I´m not gay.

It's to avenge PartinG!

But any vengeance was already done...?

If you're referring to taking down MKP, then sure, but we've gotta avenge the StarTale team itself as well by taking the tourney

Dota 2 is huge in China, I hear they have quite the populace.

No but seriously, with China stepping in, Dota 2 is gonna rock the esports world. Go DOTA!!

Why is it so important to some people that the Koreans dominate everything? What is the payoff?

I much prefer the underdog-story of the talented few foreigners, who can stand up to the mass of Korean pro players. To each his own, i guess.

I wonder how much money IGN is losing organizing this event.


what makes you think that?


250,000+ viewers for both LoL and SC2 makes him wrong imo

You think 250,000 is enough to make a profit? Most are not paying $5 a month.


Well I'm no business expert but with sponsors + commercials and the crowd at the venue should rake in some money.. Hey maybe I'm wrong, I don't know.


Sponsors defray costs, but they don't provide profits. And some of them are just providing equipment or services. Advertising, even to 250k + viewers over the internet is not a lot of money, compared to the costs for the venue, equipment, paying casters/crew, chair set up, bribing the mafia, design and overhead costs, streaming bandwidth costs...

There's a LOT of money to be lost in running events. The ticket sales and VIP packages might make them some money, but they start off pretty far in the red.
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

Instead of telling him to "fuck off" why don't you give constructive criticism on why you think he is wrong. The fact remains he is right, if Stephano had been in group D, there would be a very high chance that he would not advance. Byun, Jjakji, and MMA are all great TvZ players. Considering how convincingly MMA beat him today, and how convincingly Jjakji beat him WITH cross server lag on ironsquid, it is not unfathomable to say that he probably woudn't have advanced.


same as if MMA had only protoss, etc.

Fuck I leave to go home to school and Marineking loses T_T I guess I can still cheer for aLive but I don't see him taking down Nestea with the state of his TvZ. Only person left who can beat Nestea is MMA and I dont think he'll make it past Squirtle. Nestea gonna win it all?

and you are forgetting IPL sold out on their VIP and general admission passes going at $175 and $25 each respectively.


+ sponsor/ad revenue.... should be fine.

Doesn't really matter, IGN is most likely losing money here, but I think that's considered. They're a pretty large game reviewer I'm sure they've got lots of places to draw money from.


well of course it's also a investment to run events like this for IGN but i cant imagine they will run a tournament like this if they are loosing like 50/100k.


lol forget admissions, guys you are forgetting the sponsors. IGN is AT BEST breaking even here, I am saying this with esports event organizing experience.


ting said IPL lost a lot of money on IPL3 however they did sell a lot more tickets at the event this time around and had ppl paying $5 for HD so it wouldn't suprised me if they are close to breaking even

Lucky would be if he had a REALLY easy group... MKP, Curious,JYP are all pretty good - the only one falling off would be WhiteRa, but he is awesome nonetheless.

Hatetrolling can only get you so far I guess.

Fantastic play from MMA, when Terran is played that well there really isn't any way that Zerg can beat them.

There's no shame in Stephano losing in that way to MMA, he played what can only be described as flawless TvZ twice in a row. It's very rare to see Stephano ever end up unsettled by multitasking and drops from Terran, but what MMA did on Cloud Kingdom with that four pronged attack, including the multi medivac drop at the natural, was just ridiculous, no one can stop that.

People tend to associate nukes with BM, but they're actually incredibly good against Zerg, if you have the multitasking ability to execute them at multiple locations whilst pressuring and macroing back at home.

It was also fantastic to see Squirtle avenge his team against MarineKing, very well done to him too.

Kudos to IPL, the final day has been produced a lot better than the previous two. It's also so refreshing to have such a small delay between games, unlike at MLG.

because stupid haters don't deserve it that you put in the time for "constructive criticism", they don't care about logic and reasonable arguments, you're not gonna change their opinion anyway. if you could reason with haters, there wouldn't be any haters.
