Why in the National Hockey League called that the National Hockey league when it has players from Europe and Canada? There is nothing national about it. | ||

Had a bit of lag durring the vibe/stc game 2 but other than that the stream was great. Production also seemed pretty good to me. Don't know what parts you didn't like, but generic complaining about "production" is so overused these days it carries almost no meaning to me anymore. | ||

We still have State, Goswer, hellokitty, Suppy, illusion, minigun and IdrA left. My heart tells me one of them will get through. Although all my other senses tells me otherwise  | ||

Although all my other senses tells me otherwise America =/= USA WCS America is the tournament in the Americas, which consists of North America, Central America and South America. I can list a few more players that are American, but not a United States of America resident. | ||

A big prize pool attracts good players, which attracts fans, and those fans attract sponsors... sponsors may allow the prize pool to be made bigger...

There is a product being provided, high level SC2 games. The consumer is the fans, not the players. The prize pool is how the players get paid for their services, the better they perform, the more they get paid. | ||

BroneKnee, stop editing my posts to serve your point. I am talking about the concept of the Free Market, created by Adam Smith On April 30 2013 22:33 Plansix wrote: Prize pools have nothing to do with a free market in any way. There is no product being provided to the player or exchange of goods for services. Adam Smith would not approve of your theory. If anything, Blizzard is attempting to have a promote a skilled player pool in each time zone. Basing the prize pool on the projected skill of the players is very silly when anyone from any region can compete in the event. Also, if you knock down the prize pool based on the community's perception of the skill level of the player pool, the high skilled players will simply move to a different region the community believe that the skill level is higher. I made a number of other points in that post and if you don't want to respond to those, don't respond at all. I agree with the points you made later in the post that the money promotes players moving to different regions, so I am even sure what you are trying to say. | ||
