Watch the thing never open and the owner running off with all the money...

Easiest call I ever made - They are second only to Own3d.tv in the battle of the unprofessional ! ^_^

If it works out and their show becomes popular it would hopefully draw more people into watching competitive gaming, which is a good thing even if it isn't SC2.

Nothing wrong with being a optimist, but thinking it's a good idea to give a bunch of unprofessional/borderline scammers 1.3 million is just idiocy.


Pretty much how I feel about it. Although I'm going to go one step further and say that it boggles my mind how some people *STILL* trust this organization... >_<

Well if you're not in the scene it might not be easy to know who have a bad reputation/can't be trust. I mean in every niche market there are those people who screw things over and over and still manage to get in touch with naive players/investors/whatever
Zest fanboy.

I'm not necessarily referring to the investors that gave them $1.3 mill or whatever, but if you look in this very thread, there are still people throwing shit at us for being realistic, claiming that we don't know anything about MoW or that they don't deserve the shit they get, even though they fucked up like a dozen times when dealing with the players residing in their house, with their employees and even managed to fuck up their PR articles. -_-

what a royal waste of funding. can't this kind of money go to a more credible and honest organization? This is only setting up for more failure, guaranteed.

Sounds like so many people want to go over to LoL from SC2. I don't understand it regardless of the money involved. The game is totally different. LoL is a team game. SC2 is an individual skill game. Too bad money influences too much these days. I hope SC2 keeps going forward!

It will keep going forward, people will keep playing it / watching it for years, and it will grow a bit once HotS is released, and then it will wane again closer to the end of HotS, and so on. Being completely realistic StarCraft 2 is the only game out there right now for competitive RTS players. League uses an entirely different skillset and appeals to a more casual audience, so it's going to be popular even if it's extremely dull to watch. I like to play it every now and then when I'm not in the mood for a game that requires me to pay 100% attention like StarCraft/Street Fighter/#1 Competitive FPS Game of the Moment.

I think some of you really ought to watch the Q and A we had with them as it explains quite a bit. It's economically more feasible for them to bring in a LoL team and it's a lot easier too. They can fill the house with no problems and for the coaches they did have in SC2 well let me put it this way, a lot of the players didn't want to listen to them and instead wanted to do their own thing. They were technically paying them to act as a resort/retreat in a way. I've always questioned the guys they brought over. They wanted big names to up their viewership instead of taking a prospect and turning them into a killing machine, which would make them look pretty good to anyone who is even considering going down to the house. Anyway, there is two sides the sword. They decided to go the other way with it. It didn't pan out so now they're bringing in actual teams so they don't have to worry about the coaching dynamic or egos as much. That really comes down to the players you select btw in the first place. -.-

You guys already heard the comments from such players as Babytoss who said she had no problems with the food and found her stay quite pleasant.

If its reality show then the only way for this to be entertaining is to have koreans vs foreigners. It would be awesome to hear foreigners talking about Koreans practicing all the time etc.
But... Koreans won't survive on sandwiches and fries ; )

I can imagine it now: a 24/7 reality show of how the players react to crappy meals and bedtimes. How long can they take it??? Anyone still in the house after 5 weeks wins ten thousand dollars!
