Your killing eSports. Get out of the scene. peace. Papa Johns pizza is decent. The owner's policies and stances/agendas?? shit i forgot you can't own a pizza company and have your own opinions.
They may be sponsoring my favorite thing soon..... Sounds like a good policy to me, also ill buy some pizza cuz its pretty good and 50% off.. not to mention its for eSports. If you don't like papa johns.. fine... but seriously.. papa johns is bad because x y z.. go hate monger somewhere else.
edit: 50% off.. Pizza... eSports... and you have a problem with it LMFAOLOLO
ps. cold eSports sponsoring pizza and alcohol while im watching GSL ftw

Why only US 
We like pizza too.

Why that bar doesn't move ? This stuff was all over starcraft social media as the main thing, do they want 1million pizzas to be ordered to reach tier 2 ?

It's either broken or most likely just going to be updated daily with what tier we are up to.

yeah i'm wondering the same thing,
you get 50% off - thats the sickest deal for a pizza i've ever seen in my life
you support e-sports - in the best of ways IMO
you get to eat pizza - win win win
right now it says there are over 8000 people active on TL, of those lets say 50% is US...
So 4000 pizza's should be ordered right now...
COME ON PEOPLE, LETS GET THAT E-SPORTS METER MOVING !!!
Tier 7 gogogogogogo

50% off pizza? and I'm helping you guys? yeah, okay
IT'S FIFTY PERCENT OFF

I want to order this because we have a Papa John's here in Moscow, Idaho but I can't get it to show up on the site

Well, this would be the first time I feel really disappointed with Team Liquid. I've always assumed they hold both themselves and the people they do business with to a higher standard.
Hopefully it's mostly lack of cultural awareness by Nazgul & co, but it's deeply disappointing nevertheless.

Is the esports meter broken? Or are you people just not buying enough pizza?

isn`t this a bit too much of a sterotype? "Play videogames and eat junkfood"
Maybe I`m a little too sensitive because my twitterfeed is full of progamers advertising this unhealty stuff, but I simply don`t like it. Does the connected money really justify it? "How about Marlboro TSL5 with a $250,000 prize pool?" (https://twitter.com/SaintSnorlax/status/336599290644414465)

I think its a stereotype well placed, if you ask me. If you're health conscious then thats fine, but it seems reasonable enough to suggest that "lots of gamers probably like pizza, therefore pizza and games should go well together". Although you definitely could apply similar logic to cigarettes, it just doesn't have that same click as pizza + games (a classic).
Meanwhile I'm starving because I can't be fucked to pay FULL price for a pizza, wheres my 50% off?

I wouldn't even if I could. Papa John's is the kind of corporation I don't want to see mentioned alongside e-sports, ever. Big miss from TL right here.

Wait.
1) He's killing esports because he doesn't like an owner's "own opinions."
2) He should leave because of those opinions.
Do you understand exactly how hypocritical and just plain jackassed you sound right now?
I'm willing to overlook a lot of what the asshole Papa John's CEO has said AND the fact that their pizza is overpriced for hte shit it is and order a pizza or two, but I can't really understand the sheer stupid that's poured into defending companies when they say something/take a stance that's rather inflammatory or just plain short-sighted. You sound a lot like the "OMG, gay people hate Chik-Fil-A for calling gays heathens" people who in the same breath declared that liberals were un-American for boycotting them.
Good on TL/EG/Root on getting this promo chance, hope it works out. Sad it couldn't be with someone else though.

I'm pretty sure you are allergic to one of the ingredients, not pizza itself 
Those of you wondering about the bar not moving; it will update based on the bar found at www.pizza.gg. That bar hasn't moved from 1 yet and is controlled by papa john's EG who is coordinating with papa johns, so we shall see where it goes. Our empty bar = their "1st" tier.

hahaha this fucking owns, I'm going to have a pizza party :D

I'm sadly allergic to milk proteins and sause. I'm a sad panda when it comes to pizza QQ.
I was also wondering about that. I want to see what tier they are on so i can cheer on everyone!  So one question. Depending on the tier we are up to, EG/ROOT/TL do all the tier up to the one that it's on? Or are they only going to do the tier that it is set on?

I just want to enjoy being able to get a couple pies for the family at a good price AND it benefits a scene I am into and my son is now getting into.
This is why I will be doing my order tonight.
