Well, call me a cynic, but in the end it's all in the profit, and thus, it's a competition if you encroach on each others targeted audience. Which, in this case, you very well might. Sorry to be a party pooper, but I'm tired of the whole "all the E-sports ventures can peacefully coexist"-attitude which seems prevalent with E-sport casters and organisers, love for the game and enthusiasm is no longer the driving factor within E-sports, money is now the name of the game. Make no mistake. In E-sports, commercialism has come. With all its horror, and all its glory. (See what I did there?) And lastly, to end on a positive note, yay for multiple E-sports bars in my town! ^^ | ||

I think it's bit risky to choose event like MLG, considered what happened to the stream last time. First event must be successful, and MLG is too much of a gamble. | ||

Say, good luck and try to give him good tournament advice. All these Sweden is the best posts are pretty useless and save them for the time when something actually happens. | ||

I do this because I myself want to watch SC in a bar and just chill. Me and my brother use to watch games together and in a bar would be even cooler. When I work in esportmedia it is a lot mot about competition, but I love that the SC community is quite nice and open and a lot of people really try to coexist. That only makes the scene better. However, when something like this becomes big, and companies starts to realize that there is money to be made is inevitable that its gonna have an impact on the scene. So yes, commercialism is indeed here, and we would sadly not survive without it. (why yes, very clever, indeed ^^) | ||

Even organizing one evening of StarCraftBar but not getting enough people to get the bar interested is not worthy of praise. You will only disappoint yourself if this fails.

He is a She. and yes, if not enough people show up there is not going to be a next one! Thats why im starting to give heads up now so that more people will know about it. | ||

The Korean leagues are generally midday to late afternoon. The time's okay but no in any way optimal. So that leaves Dreamhack - Which probably is too soon Homestory III NASL - Which is rebroadcasted at primetime for Europe, which is pretty sweet and in 1080p. | ||

Sweden has many players in sc2 and thus a great sense of national pride every time there is a Swedish success. When NASL launched they insisted on having players that the viewers could recognise and that is the case with sc2. Besides sc2 show cs, hon and quake. | ||

In Sweden cricket and baseball are very small sports but big in other countries. It's the same thing with broodwar, it's big in Korea but not in Sweden. You can't argue that just because it's big in Korea or it's forerunner in e-sport that it would be a great idea to market it in Sweden.

I think the big BW finals could get a quite decent turn-out. I remember the TSL 2 Final meet-up in Gothenburg, it was really cool. :D | ||
