Also definitely subscribing to IGN Prime to get those extra streams. I much prefer to watch first person views so that is such amazing news to me. | ||

Although it does allow us to watch many interesting match ups but knowing that each match is kinda meaningless (besides seedings) makes all the group matches feel unimportant. You can lose all your matches in your group and you'll still start out fresh in the finals bracket. You may have to face a tougher opponent but there are already so many good players. How does that justify making it Bo1? Bo1 is just a bad system that doesn't represent players skill. Also, it makes whatever map the games are played on so important and any sort of map problems can be exploited. It just doesn't show the players skill as accurately. | ||

It just makes no sense. But anyway, I suspect the event will not have many live spectators but ALOTTTT of stream views since it looks pretty awesome with this lineup. i'll be tuning in for sure. not a big deal IMO. they have stated that they are working on establishing a long-lasting relationship with harrah's, and this appears to by a one time hiccup due to a state law. furthermore, any under 21 year olds that are super intent on attending can simply buy a player pass, get the opportunity to get owned by a pro(or just dont show up to their match) and watch the rest of the tourney as a spectator. lastly, i'm not sure what percentage of sc2 live crowds are under 21, but i assume that the loss of those potential spectators is likely outweighed by the awesome fact the the tourney is at a fuckin CASINO. | ||

I think he's underestimating the amount of SC2 fans that are over 21. I mean... hello, Barcraft? | ||

Well since group play is just for seeding, I can see ryung/mma forfeiting their group games because they can get in by saturday. | ||
