EPTonce again.. making money is relevant.
and any time the "investor" behind this "investment" pulls the plug you end up with the Phoenix Coyotes.
IGN to "simplify, focus"; wants to sell IPL - Page 22

No, if it had made money they still would have waited until HotS. Even if you do run a full season of NASL, you end up with one of two things. The players WoL skill is lower, as they have been practicing the HotS beta. Or the players HotS skill is lower, because they have been solely practicing WoL. Both of these things are bad, and I don't imagine NASL need to rush put each season. Stop making ridiculous claims as if you know what's going on. I don't know why you are putting investment in quotation marks, as that is what all these tournaments are. | ||

IPL is losing money and is integrated with IGN.com. That integration is being severed. David Ting constantly lauded management for giving him "everything he could ask for''. The probability of finding someone not only with the MONEY but the SPECIALIZED RESOURCES IGN.com brought to IPL is very low. IPL will be jettisoned in a cost cutting decision and they will fold. | ||

Sure thing. Thanks for the expert business analysis. | ||

NASL and IPL have nothing to do with each other. NASL is not highly integrated with a giant video game review web site. That said, how is that next NASL season coming along? Yeah everyone, trust JimmyJRaynor's pontifications over the word of kibbelz, catspajamas and David ting. Because after all, those three are just trying to increase their bargaining power as they search for new jobs. LOL And now I will bow out of this thread, and I would advise anyone else arguing with Mr. Raynor to do the same, lest you make it appear like there's a legitimate debate to be had here. | ||

even David Ting is "not debating it". read my post completely. my position does not conflict with David Ting's comments. He offered "no promises" should IGN.com be sold. the behaviour of IPL employees will be similar to what we saw from THQ employees. | ||

If I were all of you guys I would start whenever you see JimmyJRaynor you ignore his posts on these topics. Seriously all he does is down talk it and talk about how x is dying and why sc2/esporst/whatever is dying. Just stop reading them he even made a blog how blizzard gave up on esports already lol. | ||

also, SC2 is just fine. "eSports" does not depend on Blizzard's involvement. i predicted fewer over all events and an over all lower prize pool in 2013 compared to 2012 for Sc2. that has nothing to do with 'esports dying'. there is no WCS for 2013. if you think IPL will have a long and prosperous future because red bull is going to buy them and that the total prize pool for SC2 is staying the same or going up...say so  ..but none of that has anything to do with SC2 "dying". or esports "dying".as it is you've provided nothing to back up any counter argument. your smear job just lowers the signal to noise ratio of this thread. | ||

JimmyJRaynor no one cares about you anymore, you just run around calling your own speculations as evidence and proof when people time after time has proved you wrong. I'm so tired of calling you out on your bullshit that I can't even bother anymore. | ||

I guess Gillick is an idiot. the thing about claiming i am saying SC2 is dying is good for a laugh though. User was temp banned for this post. | ||

Apparently you can't count past 1? WCS is gone. Blizzcon is back. OSL is in. PL is in. GSL's prize pool has increased slightly, IEM's has increased slightly. OSL and PL both have big prize pools. | ||

Let me make some claims where I was correct without providing evidence! it was all made on the TL.Net forum. do your own searching. i'm sure TL.Net could use the additional clicks. furthermore, i'm countering a generalized blanket statement. the Blue Jay debate was a long and ugly one...all along i said their pitching was crap and they traded away too much pitching.. then we got to august and then the arguing stopped. | ||
