Its not about the better game its about the amount of fans Currently in Kore there are a lot of games (Sudden attack anyone) who are riding on Starcraft Broodwar back for they are not popular enough to warrant a canal of their own. If that will be the case for SC2 and halo I am happy to accept that. | ||

You have to figure on any given day at any given time. There are about 20-30k people watching sc2 live streams. In and out of country. EG Masters Cup, to be honest? Wasn't THAT big. It was a good tourny. Look at how many people ALONE watch day9? 4.5-5k normally? That's one guy, one hour. MLG stream prob had like 60k views, or so. I don't know exact numbers just a guestimate. Halo is huge in America always will be, I think (I hate the franchise personally). It does generate alot of views, though...I don't see how watching is is better than play >>;;; SC2 Actually informs you how you should play even by watching, it's educational TV! Hey look at that..were educational now. PBS Special soon too please lol. I jest. Though, RTS gaming in general? They have War3 / WoW / Halo / Sc2 and whatelse to fund with that 10m. We can hope it goes to SC2 but chances are slim. Anyway; gratz to MLG on getting more cash flow. Hope you put it to good use and keep going and going. | ||

Plus, I'd argue that SC2 only events would be bad if they took the limelight in the public eye. It's good that competitive gaming as a whole is moving forward with the growth of starcraft 2. | ||

Halo is like MLG's flagship game in tourneys. But anyway, I don't know what they'll use it for but any money that'll be used to make MLG any better in any way is a good thing in my opinion. | ||
