You totally misused the word "irony". It should be "sarcasm".


Thanks, it's not always easy.

well its not always easy because in many situations it can be either. You can say "yay" both sarcastically or ironically.... as far as im concerned, you had it right first time around.
When there is nothing left to lose but your dignity, it is already gone.

There was no ESF wide decline as the thread title would suggest, only bad, drama stirring journalism. I say this thread should get closed before people turn it into a KeSPA vs ESF shitfest which is happening already.

Yeah...i'm starting to lose interest in this tounament.It's a shame this could have been something big(probably the bigest thing since sc2 came out).

+1


if MLG is trying to put on "the next big thing" in SC2 competitive play then they require a prize pool commensurate with the hype.

had the prize pool been say ... $350,000 then i suspect every ESF invitee would gladly participate.

it all comes down to money.

in the past MLG has been able to offer very low prize pools and yet maintain a high level of prestige.
now that MLG is stepping out onto a more world wide scale of stage...

money talks..
bullshit walks...

you'd figure being an american Sundance would know this.

its not just a bullshit prize pool but a stupid seeding plan. MLG Fall Championship won't mean much now. about the prestige equivalent of Korea vs The World "GSL World Championship". A bit more than a show match

We cant keep calling these events "eSPORTS" if one of the biggest tournament organizations is having partnerships with certain teams. Take a step out of your nerd bubble and it is very obvious how silly and unprofessional this is.

sports have been partially biased forever.

in baseball the owner of the milwaukee brewers is the commissioner... half the league is juiced or on HGH.
in hockey sam pollock basically robbed every expansion team for high draft picks
in basketball we have crooked referees and the NBA tries to call it an isolated incident despite a mountain of evidence suggesting he was working with other referees.
and then in international european football ... check out a book called "the fix" by Declan Hill.

horse racing.. talk to anyone who has worked with thoroughbreds....

starcraft/MLG is no better or worse than these higher profile mainstream sports...
welcome to the adult world.

Hi,

Could OP be updated with the importants quotes (i think of FXO's ones) because it's not really helping to know the reactions and what's going on if you don't have time to browse all of the 30pages on the thread ?

Thank you

I reminded of Serenity... Nothing here is what it seems. Slasher is not the plucky journalist busting a conspiracy. MLG's MvP is not a serious tournament. This is not a fight between two rival organizations. FXOBoss is not the dark mastermind behind it all.

And that's not incense. *boom*

Seriously... There is nothing to see here, move along. I think the transparency we need is from Slasher.
Yes, I email sponsors... to thank them. Don't post drunk, kids. My king, what has become of you?

way to stir drama.

Oh boy, here we go.

ESF didn't sign partnership with MLG so they shouldn't be randomly spouting stuff like that.
Ban ESF from OSL and have Rain vs Last in OSL finals. Simple stuff.

the

thread.
The OP is WRONG. The title is WRONG and this thread should be closed or heavily edited.
The OP is designed in the way you think all the ESF players declined when only 2 did for various reasons (to busy with GSL/GSTL, lagg and so forth)
