How does Puma do this?

He just annihilates armies that other terran players can't even fight.

I bet 15k is the number while the free first game. Never ever 15k are so stupid to pay 10$ for a 8-man tourney with so many stupid and senseless games.


30 posts, joined yesterday... Thanks for contributing to the discussion.... The games aren't senseless or stupid and the fact that you get to watch 8 of the best players duke it out is amazing. MLG is doing a great job, Dreamhack is doing a great job. Stop bashing for not reason. At least be on TL for a few months or years before you make shitty posts like these.

Isn't Genius normally the best player in the world when maxed out?


Yes, in the GSL. Genius was never proficient in compressed tournaments.

EDIT: I've never seen so many proxy expansions on a map before.

Dreamhack doesn't need to make PPV qualifiers to do well enough to continue to develop and expand ^^

Exactly. Remember when Sundance was saying the PPV would have to be adopted by everyone, and was necessary, as no group was making money, I'm pretty sure the Dreamhack people came out and said they are doing fine.

With the adoption of now being an open tournament (I hated that they did not do that last year) Dreamhack has become pretty much the best tournament, its pretty perfect, aside from the bad map pool.


esl survives for 10 years now without such models, and they do farily ok as well.


With an evolving scene it's possible the business model needs to change, with increasing prizes to players etc. Not saying that is necessarily the case, but it's possible.


This is pretty much the problem. The teams should be sending there players to events not the other way around. Every other professional sport the team pays for travel.

The main problem is most teams aren't ran properly and don't make enough money to do this.



I totally agree with that. My mind was blown by Sundance's statement on Live On Three, that someone needs to pay the price of the players travels, and that MLG might as well be the ones taking the losses. That's not how a sustainable business/industry is supposed to be run. You just don't voluntary take losses for some kind of altruistic reasons just because the teams are not well run enough. I'm not sure if he was FOS when making that statement or if that's actually the way MLG is reasoning.

From MLG:s perspective it's possible it makes sense to pay for travels, but that should basically be considered a subsidy from the prize pool to players/teams who are less likely to take part of the actual prize pool. That is, if they pay for travels, it should reduce the prize pool to compensate in a way that MLG are still not running a loss. If costs are increased in one area, they need to be reduced in others.


I don't think SC is big enough for the travel fees and staff fees organizers dish out each major tournament. The scene grew too big, too fast, imo, and that's why organizers have to resort to these PPV schemes to try and stay afloat. The problem is the viewers, as well - people don't want to watch online tournaments, which forces organizers to go for the broke.

Running an online tourney is easy and cheap. A guy in his spare time is able to run a $1000 online tournament and get a few big names to show up. But the viewers don't want that. They want IPL and MLG to fly in 20+ players from all over the world to a huge, expensive venue, but don't want to pay for it. That's just not going to work.

Yup. I like genius, but didn't expect too much from him here.

@ Chaosarcher: He played solid vs different openings, had a gamplan and showed a decent micro in the large fights. So basically he didn`t show his typical weaknesses in that matchup.

Upgrades saved Genius, good choice to end the game when he did... Puma just seems to ALWAYS win battles against protoss if the upgrades are even.
