Ok heres an article with an idea of what they made starting in 2006 till when this article/interview was published in 2009. So thats 3 years. profit:42.5 million. The scene is definitely much bigger now in general. I'm sure they make alot more than that. This is all profit btw. Even if they only threw an extra 50k for sc2 per mlg they would still be making bank. Plus who knows they might even make more from it since the stakes are so high. http://techcrunch.com/2009/11/11/interview-with-matt-bromberg-ceo-of-major-league-gaming/ I looked into it. That's how much money they've raised through investment from venture capitalists. Not how much profit they've made. | ||

Trimaster? There has to be others who can actually play more then 1 style or rely on all ins/cheese to pull out a victory that im missing. Its as someone else said earlier, nearly all the NA invites are based on popularity, NA is in a sad state of affairs. | ||

Not only are they probably top 4 (with Naniwa and Thorzain) Europeans, but also would make it more EU and less Sweden  Nerchio would be imba and have a chance at making r08 if not higher.  | ||

Destiny? iNcontrol? Slush? And let's be honest here even though I love the man to death: Tyler? These can't possibly be the best in NA. DESTINY? <--(what?!) | ||

Sases training hard in Korea right now and is rocking high gm Sjow was complimented by Bomber for having Code S Tvt or something like that Jinro seems to be streaming/playing like mad lately. Can always bounce back Never bet against Banjo | ||

Sjow and Sase is pretty good choice imo. Sjow ranked highest as foreigner in the last MLG. Not Haypro cuz this guy shy like a little school girl lol(jk) and Jinro is not really in a good shape anymore. | ||
