Get a person named Doritos to pay the other half.

IPL is the only sc2 premium service I purchase beside two seasons of GSLs in the past (light tickets). They roll out amazing content at a rather affordable price (GSL light ticket costed more and the stream quality is really meh).

But given the amount of "free content" out there: will people be willing to spend money on esports to keep the ball rolling?

People don't have to spend money on eSports to keep the ball rolling. Game publishers in the past few years have gone to organizations such as ESL/IPL/MLG to promote their games in the eSports stage, just as an advertising tool.

Are there any details of IGN's asset and income distribution available to the public? It would be interesting to see what portion of IGN makes up IPL's activities, and from that proposed sale price drive out a value for that specific business.

Convenient that both sites are blocked at my work, yet TL isn't. Interesting indeed.

It's like they gave me legos and demanded the manner in which they are played with. Oh well, at least I have legos.

Just out of a blue here...

Didn't Mark Cuban mentioned in his twitter that he is interested in being part of eSport? He did show up at MLG and such.

Ryan Wyatt from Machinima tweeted that the acquisition is said to have happened for under $100m. Who knows though!

I hope IPL stays the way it is.
