Why wouldn't it turn a profit? Anything blizzard does turns a profit, and these guys are a part of blizzard now. They have lucky stable jobs now.

Great to hear. Finally Bliz is getting much more active in the scene. Good can only come from this.

This is good news, also it's nice because the IPL staff is used to producing regular scheduled content. I'm excited to see who the final caster lineup will be, because it's going to be a very important part of the NA growth.

Well... The best thing about IPL was League.. How's that gonna go now?

Hope they return to the Cosmo at least, that place is bomb.

Not the best pickup IMO.
Pro League blew away quite a few chances to become the best organizer in NA.
They would do much better with NASL.

You clearly didn't read the OP. None of that is happening. They work for Blizzard in the Bay area, at a new office. One might say, a studio.

Awesome! Very glad for the IPL people! They put a lot into it for us.

I work for a company of about 23 people that creates software for courts

I wish my job was this cool...

I know switching jobs is never easy.. But don't ever let yourself stick with something you don't enjoy!

Holy fucking shit - this is the biggest news for SC2 so far. Why? Because Blizzard can FINALLY FUCKING FOCUS on getting their shit together in development, and stop focusing on content or tournament production.

Jesus Christ. I've been waiting for this day for so god damn long....

I'm not sure if the people who worked in content/tournament production would now end up contributing to game development. The type of expertise seems too different.


Think it's the other way around.. they hire people doing tournament production to keep blizz people developing.
I just can't help but feel that staffing is tight in their offices.

Buying IPL basically removes the process of creating a new department from scratch. It's already done for them.
