I hope for much success for this team, such an amazing job running this. What a great venue and a big contrast to the casino in vegas (which was also exemplary). This is the old world, America! I think they will show everyone in SC2 just how cool esport can be if you have people organizing who can do cool. So far we've had fun, geeky, enthusiastic and overdone events, but this will be something different.

Do people really think 40 euros is a lot for a live event? -.-

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.


Only compared to other SC2 events.

Wow sick venue. As others have said, the price is pretty steep though :/ Hoping for a great audience anyways - Iron Squid surely deserves a great finals to end a great tournament.
What a player

Always odd to see people make comments when they don't seem to understand the business.

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.

Pomf&Thud audience isn't really TL oriented, I would even dare to say that thieir audience doesn't even know what competitive eSports really is (where BW is the pinnacle) and are most likely yuppies to be able to afford a 40€ one day event.

Being a student in paris, 40€ is either 1 week worth of food or 4 night with friends. I value that over one day of SC2 even with some of the best korean.

So Kaoru, how much we need to like themes from Iron Squid, so you guys will make longer versions?

Nothing to add.

big risk in renting such a big hall, even if a 1000 people show up, it will still look pretty empty
The truth is, Yagami-kun, I suspect that you may in fact be Kira.

I just hope you guys get enough ticket sales so it doesn't end up like the NASL and IPL offline events with barely a few people in the live audience (though they managed to get more people around for the finals events).
