But, we're going to do the best with what we have, and the idea is to crown a world champion. To find the best player in the whole world, and to the best of our abilities we're going to do that. It's a North American tournament, not a world tournament. Sure there will be a few people flying in from Europe, Korea and possibly smaller locations like South America/SEA, but people in other countries are going to find it difficult to drop their lives and fly to the US to play in the finals. When you're saying things like "We're going to limit the number of Koreans to 5", you can't then say you're determining the greatest player in the world. What I'd love to see is something like this in each region. Then at the end of every year have a showdown between the best of NASL, the best of GSL etc. | ||

Developer cost for 3 months is another $15,000. Studio cost $10,000 for 3 months. Looking like they need like 7-8k subscribers to make it barely profitable. With 20k people tuning in to the showmatch live, I don't think that's a crazy # to reach. | ||

I know that hype is just all part of marketing, but constantly getting hearing reminders on SoTG, other Podcasts, on TL, etc. of "an announcement that will be announcing an announcement revealing the big announcement" was seriously getting annoying. Not trying to be cynical here, I just think there are more creative ways to market things, create hype, and still be secretive...Look at the way the market movies nowadays like Cloverfield or District 9.... | ||

You are wrong. | ||

Most of the money will be coming from sponsors' advertising, not subscribers. | ||

I guarantee you, you are not even close to how much this costs to run. | ||

I dont think Incontrol and Gretorp will need that much money for casting, considering they both have part-time jobs. (At least Incontrol, not sure about Gretorp anymore). Plus, we're not dealing with zero-sum, we're dealing with an investment with a multiplier effect. | ||

Not to mention the ad revenue generated everyday and the maybe more direct sponsor interest in the grand finals event. I bet they'll do alright. Gom sees at least 30,000 or more subscribers for a season right? | ||

You forget advertising, which is where all the real money comes from. Companies don't sponsor tournaments because they are passionate about e-sports, you know... | ||

Seems a little unfair well the players still do have to fly to Korea to participate right? so essentially its the same thing. Koreans can participate, but to do so they have to fly to NA, and for the qualifiers play it at local NA timing... Dont see how this is unfair? | ||

A great league must have the best players, or what is the point. There should be a lot of effort to try and fit top korean players. | ||

Looking like they need like 7-8k subscribers to make it barely profitable. that is assuming they got no sponsorship and no advertisements. i would be really suprised if free stream will be ad-free. i won't mid any ads if those guys are bringing me 9 weeks of non stop starcraft 2 action five days a week. i will probably subscribe tho. | ||

I love how all these 14 year old kids can be wowed by a big number though LOL. To top it all off there's about 6 people who will win this thing...Show me salaries for fulltime players, then we can preach about revolution. who's 14 years old?

You aren't forced to watch, but when you watch despite your shitty point of view you can at least be grateful | ||
