Price: $10,000,000.00 Much better deal then your original offer On February 25 2009 09:58 Manifesto7 wrote: TSL really brought people out of the woodwork. I got contacted by a major American sports broadcasting company that has four letters in its name. They had recently invested in a videogame league (relationship now defunct lolz). They heard about TSL, and without any preamble, they came to me and said: Donkey- Let's nto beat around the bush. We want to buy your site. ManifestoCrusher- Um, we play starcraft, not xbox. Donkey- That's ok. We will make it huge. ManifestoCrusher- Um, we don't even have a sponsor for the tournament yet. Would you be interested in a sponsorship deal? We could work out some sweet exposure for you. Donkey- We just want to buy the site. What is your business model?ManifestoCrusher- Our what? Donkey- How much do you get paid a month? ManifestoCrusher- Um, nobody gets paid. It is a volunteer site. Donkey- Yeah but how much do you MAKE? ManifestoCrusher- We pay our server fees with google ads and sometimes we make shirts. We don't make a profit though. Donkey- I'll buy your site. You know, I can't pay a lot, ut I could give you a few bucks for the domain and create a paid position. ManifestoCrusher- But we have about 30 staff. Who gets the money. Donkey- It could just be between you and me. ManifestoCrusher- ... Donkey- So how much for the site? ManifestoCrusher- One million dollars. Donkey has left the chat. | ||

MLG staying long term and slowly growing > MLG being amazing for 2 years then crashing MLG has been going strong for years now, just because they didn't host SC events doesn't mean they weren't around. Wonder how much of that 10million will make it into prize pools. | ||

but hopefully this means that MLG realizes that there is e-sports beyond the console.... | ||

If that will be the case for SC2 and halo I am happy to accept that. To be fair, canals are pretty significant. The entire country of Panama was barely able to get one of their own! | ||

if sc2 gets more popular, which it is all the time, they'll give it more attention, which they've said they're going to do. and am i wrong in thinking TL could probably sell for more than 10 mil? | ||

I would /love/ to be wrong, though, and see $10K for 1st at regular events :-) Not sure what the critical mass would have to be prize-pool wise to bring over Koreans to compete - any guesses? | ||

Super Smash Brawl paid out 12.5k for first place. I assume Starcraft 2 would be more, so you are probably right. | ||
