Wow, so many epic players! Pool C -- fuck! I want them all to advance xD but i guess this means I'll have at least 1 player I really like in the semi-finals, meaning there is a 50% chance there is someone I really like in the finals! :D Leenock or Ryung from Pool A please Pool B -- meh don't really like any of them, MKP I guess Pool D -- MC fighting! | ||

Looks like they are taking over.. :S Anyway, Group C by far the hardest.. Polt Stephano then two other good Koreans.. Qualifiers should be: A(Violet and Leenock) B(MKP and gogo Grubby!), C(Polt and Stephano) D(MC and DRG).. should be a good tournament tho..  | ||

Leenock - Rampaged last season Violet- Has been rampaging. Ryung - Just about as good as Ganzi Inori - Probably weakest of group but as good as Alicia imo. | ||

I posted this in General Discussion and got no replies. I'm hoping I get better reception here. If no one responds I won't be able to make a thread until Tuesday night. + Show Spoiler + I am hoping that the community can pull together to create some attention for the upcoming MLG in Anaheim. I know, this is a very last minute effort, but I think it is worth trying. We should contact various media angencies to get their attention of this event. We could do it via email, facebook, twitter, or whatever. First, here are some actual media releases that I did find related to MLG. A Press Release of MLG on MSNBC http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/47629944#.T8us8MWp2So A Today Show Article Describing CBS Interactive buying up the advertising rights to MLG and other pro gaming organizations. http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/47636148#.T8us9sWp2So A CNBC article that is exactly the same as the Today Show Article http://www.cnbc.com/id/47633993 So, a comment on the press release. We would like an actual story and airtime on TV for MLG. So I think this is worth doing even though there is a press release. Next, I'll list some things that are worth mentioning. Details about MLG I'm getting from the press release. + Show Spoiler + - Money Talks. Starcraft 2 Prize pool is worth 76K with 25K for first place. - Prove it is professional. Mention CBS Interactive acquiring advertising rights. Mention that players are on professional teams, salaried, and have big sponsors. Mention the press release. - Stress that it is international. There are players competing from different continents. - Mention the fact that it is something mainly distributed online. Media loves stories about the internet and a changing society. - Mention any top players that are really young (like Leenock/Maru) and will be playing at MLG. Media loves this kind of stuff. For example, the story of the 6 year old at a spelling bee. - Mention date and location. Other than the national news giants, the others I have selected because they are close to Anaheim. Next, some companies to contact. I searched their sites for "MLG," and most have nothing except where noted. National News Stations + Show Spoiler + -MSNBC http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10285339/ This has the most current info with the 3 articles listed above. Nothing really deserving of the title "story". -CNN They have two feedbacks that are titled "News Tip" or "Story Idea". I'm not sure which is most appropriate. I leave to you to decide. CNN News Tip http://www.cnn.com/feedback/show/?s=newstip CNN News Story http://www.cnn.com/feedback/show/?s=storyidea -Fox News http://help.foxnews.com/entries/500736-where-can-i-send-story-questions-corrections-or-news-tips Has articles and videos mentioning MLG from 2008. I hate to admit it, but it may be our best shot. -Marketplace from American Public Media This is actually a national public radio show about business news that I like to listen to once in a while. They sometimes run stories about niche business news. When contacting them some history of the business side of eSports may catch their interest. Maybe focus on the online distribution? Best part, is they are located in LA so they should be able to send someone over on short notice if they are interested. http://www.publicradio.org/applications/formbuilder/user/form_display.php?form_code=53214004afb5 Local News to Anaheim/LA, CA + Show Spoiler + -Local NBC http://www.nbclosangeles.com/ Email is in upper right corner. -Local CBS http://losangeles.cbslocal.com/station/cbs-kcal/ Has email address under news tips a little bit down page. -Local ABC http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/feature?section=resources/inside_station&id=5788340 -Local Fox http://www.myfoxla.com/story/18678083/contact-us Appears to only be telephone numbers. Late Night Talk Shows They often do bits where they interview people at conventions/events. Sometimes the fans are the butt of the jokes. It's up to you to decide if they are worth contacting. Personally, I think it would be kind of cool to see MLG on one of these shows. These are some located in CA. -The Tonight Show with Jay Leno http://www.nbc.com/contact/general/ Have to pick out Tonight Show from list -Conan O'Brien TBS contact info http://support.tbs.com/ics/support/default.asp?deptID=5475 Conan show website http://teamcoco.com/ No email. Just facebook and twitter. On right hand side of page. Any suggestions/comments would be greatly appreciated. Even if you can't contact everybody, please just contact at least a random selection. I'll post when I'm done making my contacts and I encourage you to do the same to show support. | ||
