I can see why they are doing this, it is just not fair to invite players just based on their team. Luckily for me most of my favorite players are already qualified for the Fall championship. | ||

And then we got the lovely counter argument: WAAAAAWAAAAAAAAA YOU NEED TO SUPPORT ESPORTS, WHY YOU NO PAAAAAAAY! YOU NEED TO GIVE MONEY TO DEVELOP SCENE EVEN IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE PRODUCT! FEEL BAD ! THINK OF THE PEOPLE WORKING IN EEEEEEEEEESPORT! | ||

I was referring to his first group, but I suppose you are correct as well. It's just a painfully difficult first set, morale wise. | ||

Scarlett's issue was obvious as she was streaming in dial-up(?) and probably couldn't manage a connection to EU servers never mind KR. | ||

Why would people pay to watch this besides kespa name value? there isnt any cuz there is tons of free sc2 content out there that will be better just based on format alone, not even considering that no esf player r in this Hardcore fans will no doubt watch it. Casual fans will probably pass on it. That's the nature of PPV and it's always going to end up being that way. We had this discussion previously when the last PPV argument came up. My argument remains the same, PPV events that otherwise would not have happened, happen because they are actually affordable. The lower viewer numbers don't matter because each individual viewer provides FAR more. The problem I have with the MLG Arena setup is putting a pay-wall in front of something which directly influences a free event. If you're going to do PPV like this I want to see it be a stand-alone thing so that viewers aren't forced to pay to watch a storyline that affects the storyline of the next tournament. PPV is a sustainable business model, sustainable business models are good for eSports, lest we forget what happens when eSports is built on an unsustainable foundation. | ||

I'm kind of worried that ESF might start using it's new-found leverage a little bit more often than it should... | ||

Foreigners will do well, not every kespa players are gosu yet. I would not be surprised if it ended up 50:50 | ||

Isn't this the exact kind of tournament people should be boycotting considering the fervour raised over Kespa-ESF drama last time (and virtually all in ESF's favour, confusingly enough, since they are basically being neglected in this tournament)? | ||

I think 10 is well worth the content and would much rather spend it on this than a movie of the same value. I dont mind the price. I just dont think the matches will be very good. Im expecting to see a LOT of NA players get trounced by korean and europeans alike... except for Scarlett, our great white hope | ||

They are trying to make us pay again under the "build esports banner". Just make more ingame advertisement! EG is paying for a whole team with advertising, and they can not pay for a single tournament? | ||

I just think that the quality of the content is clearly not worth it. They are selling replays with commentary. Nothing all too special about it. If it was an MLG championship for 10 bux, sure thats hella worth it. Live crowd, tons of interviews, tons of stuff etc etc, but those are free :D. Replays with commentary is not very exciting for me. I can get it anywhere for free. | ||
