Indeed, the Plott thickens. This explains day9's tweet better now. Both him and sunny know the real reason but both don't want to announce red bull's tourney before an official announcement. Call off the funeral folks. A heartbeat was found and sc2 lives! | ||

All of my points were correct and because I don't feel like finding the actual numbers and chose to use CLEARLY exaggerated ones doesn't take away from any of the points. LoL DOES have more viewers, sc2 viewers DO use adblock more than LoL viewers. Try and argue with either point, it's not possible. And next time before saying an idiotic comment like "Please, if you gotta cry about the end of the world(Sc2), use numbers that are less likely to make people facepalm, thanks." try reading my entire post where I said "So everytime you get the sc2 is dieing feeling and you start to freak out in threads like this, it's useful to realize it's impossible for sc2 to fall as low as bw was. Everything will be fine." You need to be far less aggressive in your attacks against other forumgoers if you are going to be this stupid. So you're saying that in order to state the obvious, that LoL does have more viewers, and what is somewhat arguable although a clearly believable thing in "LoL has less adblock" (due to the demographics being slightly different/older?), you're warranted to use numbers that are wrong by an order of magnitude? I'm clearly going to call you out on that. And about the "we cannot fall as low as bw anyways, all will be fine?" Well if you look at the worst doomsayers we clearly could,and i'm not saying that i believe that(besides reliving Bw's life on a more modern,bigger scale wouldn't that be that big of a failure)... but you're supporting your point how exactly? How can you possibly talk about tournament financial stuff? Did you even read TotalBiscuits report about ShoutCraft's financial breakdown for istance (citing one of the few organizers that posts a breakdown) before writing that thing? There are no "English Second Language" problems here, your post is such a mass of baseless guess and absurd numbers that i felt the need to debunk it, and thanks for calling me stupid. | ||

They should of respected his opinion, because he clearly explained how blizzard was killing sc2 yet most of the community flamed him for no reason. Whoops, you posted that a few minutes to late. Now you just look dumb and like you didn't read the thread. This has nothing to do with Blizzard and SC2 is fine. And Destiny is still wrong. Redbull will be running an event that weekend and I bet it will be just as much fun as the one that MLG is putting on. Also, it was ITG, not SOTG. Get your facts straight. | ||

MLG lost the time slot to Red Bull it appears. Not some ridiculous SC2 is dying garbage. And no I'm sorry, no one should respect that buffoon. He might play off that he has book smarts, but in common sense and street smarts he sorely lacks. | ||

There are many more nuances to this MLG/RB story and perhaps now the real reporters in the scene can dig deeper. #SSNN | ||

I think Blizzard is doing region control to stop events from eating away at eachother. At least we know why now. SC2 isn't unwanted, its that two groups wanted it. Personally, I like Redbull a little more than MLG, with their studio feel. I am betting they will do some open bracket event or qualifers of some form. That would be the most fun. Only question i still have, why did MLG announce so early that there wasn't sc2 at Columbus instead of laying low and wait for a Redbull announcement? INcontrol thought it was for damage control, but he didn't know about the Redbull thingy apparently... Then why did they do that? | ||

I can't imagine this information (about Redbull) being secret. Just announce that you're unable to host SC2 because of this and everything is clear. Oh well, maybe there is more to it. There is, didn't think of this: Scott Smith @SirScoots 9 Aug @djtyrant @MLG If they say that, they kind of leak news of another unannounced event and that is not for them to do? | ||

They don't want people to book flights ahead of time and then cancel them, they want to let people know. | ||
