I want Tod to win, but Sen > Tod. 
Will you guys post future PPV numbers?
|
I expect Sen to win, never been impressed by Tod's play.
|
Sen should definitely have this.

I was gonna ask how they could afford to fly in 2 players, pay for their hotel room and give away 2000$, but then I realized it is going to be subscribers only.
I think that's a great idea, good way to make some extra money for the league (assuming they actually make enough to cover what this'll cost), without it actually affecting the league. (as in, there are no score changes that people missed)
|
This is a really good thing to use PPV for. Regular season matches aren't as hyped and aren't likely to sell passes. This is, it's hyped and it's the kind of thing people will talk about, which makes it more profitable since its ppv. Really good decision by nasl imo
|
If esport can't carry it's own weight and you have to charge money for it, I must admit that I do not mind the form NASL does it though - way better than MLGS arena decision imo, as people who can't pay won't loose interrest in the leagues and players since they arn't excluded from following the league unfolding.
I guess i am ok with this.

Very cool, I might try to come by, so awesome for NASL to do this!
|
Paywall thing sounds fair. It's a bunch of cash prize showmatches.

Bring your friends! The Anthill is pretty fun to have a BarCraft at, and adding a Sunday ShowDown live at the venue will only make it more exciting to attend.
|
We're super pumped for this! Hope you all enjoy

wow fantastic idea and I really like the format tbh.. pretty crazy good.
nice work yet again NASL. Season 3 has been amazing thus far keep it up!
|
Sens ZvP is awesome, ToDs PvZ is awful. "/
|
soooooo hawt, should be an awesome match
|
I think ToD is pretty high up on the Korean ladder, but always fails in tournaments, I hope that he will win this showmatch.
|
Really looking forward to the festivities. Hope to see many of you there!
|
what in the world... they are flying people out from Korea and Taiwan for a single match... that is like 1.3k per person round trip.. so expensive..
