When you're running a tournament like this, with a lot of players in it who have really high skill levels but really small fanbases it pays to have at least a few invites so you don't end up with a bunch of people nobody wants to watch (which is what will happen if Symbol, Alive, Jjakji and Puma win their quarter finals). With that said, it's been a really well run, well produced tournament so I hope it goes well for them and I'll be tuning in to the stream. Stephano was invited to the tournament, he just didn't advance to the ro8. | ||

I guess the venue is just so expensive so they have to do that, I just can't see how it will fill up, unless France have secretly been a major Esport country. The french casters Pouf & Thud are pretty damn popular. They did some kind of one man show ( they are two, but you get the idea ) about gaming and sc2, even bringing friends from a well know television channel. They had a lot of people for that. I think they can fill up more than people think. But as I said earlier, it would have been easier if Stephano made it. And there's a high possibility of having only Terran for the last 4... Selling 9 hours of TvT can be hard. | ||

I understand that the price may put off some of the younger and more cash-strapped fans, but in fairness I've paid much higher amounts to see a band come out for 45 mins, also, a typical friday night drinking session costs me about 50 euros, so this seems well worth it. The venue is expensive, I hope they sell out. Great tournament. | ||

GLGL IronSquid - Awesome tournament, and of course awesome music as well (IronSquid produced 20+ songs specifically for the tournament - The most well known is probably this one: Several player themes composed for this as well - MC's theme is especially awesome! Wow that's awesome xD. | ||

People here everywhere go to a hockey game for $60-$120 on a weekly basis, is $55 dollars that much for an occasional whole day event? People need to look at beyond the amount of games play and focus on the actual enjoyment. I don't give a shit how many games there are, as long as the experience is good, and if Iron Squid pulls it off well it'd be more that worth the money. | ||

There's only 900 tickets remaining for this thing and weeks to go, at a 2500 seat venue. Yeah, they know what they're doing and who their audience is. | ||

It's one of the biggest tourney ever played ! http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Iron_Squid#Group_Stage I'd go so far as to say if they end up with MC, MMA, Nestea, and MKP it'll be the greatest semi-finals lineup in SC2 history. Please, please make it happen. Or at least can we avoid 4 terrans advancing? | ||
