We can have anyone run our events!" | ||

" Edit: this was posted by Kevin Johnson, directed at Scoots and MLG man this is getting really really thick. so MLG was not going for SC2 anyways and RB just happened to grab the same date as CBUS? | ||

I mean, why should they even be upset with that? How does it hurt them? It splits the viewership for a region and hurts both sides. A lot of professional sports do this to avoid eat away at eachother. Its why all sports run in seasons and why all regions do not carry all games(unless you pay the league for one of those cable packages). It is very standard in professional sports. | ||

It's a non exclusive weekend and two events running at the same time is fine for them. MLG did not request a license and only redbull did. So it's status quo from yesterday now. MLG wasn't planning on doing sc2 in the first place, so never requested a license. Adam Apicella @MrAdamAp @SirScoots WHAT BAD PR FOR SSNN! Scott Smith @SirScoots @MrAdamAp I think the afternoon shareholders call is gonna be a bitch! Heads will roll!  | ||

So it's still bad news SC2 wise since now the future of SC2 MLG wise is shaky. While it is good that RB is hosting a tournament it is also bad to lose a tournament host like MLG. | ||

While it is good that RB is hosting a tournament it is also bad to lose a tournament host like MLG. As much as I liked the past MLGs, I would like to see what Red Bull can do. MLG does great work, but at the end of the day they are all about fair weather games that are on the rise and are never going to build a full studio. Some professional sport are run out of a staduim which is funded by a large company as a sponsor who gets their name up there all the time. Redbull could be that sponsor and have a studio for a number of Esports. With that equipment, NASL production crew and the players, what more could we want? | ||

I know what tweet you replied to, but a lot of people just hit reply to the newest tweet on a timeline and not necessarily replying to that tweet specifically. Your tweet could also be read as saying SSNN had a bad scoop by saying redbull got the license over mlg, when in fact mlg never requested a license in the first place. | ||
