The guy is worth millions of dollars and he's just chilling in the Hilton lobby greeting all the fans in the post Blizzcon party. Mike's a stand up guy and means what he says. Great interview Wax! He's worth more than a billion. | ||

approximately 1.8 Billion http://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-businessmen/michael-morhaime-net-worth/ however, he is not listed on the Forbes 400. so that net worth of 1.8 billion floating around is in dispute.

Different high level Blizz employees write the "forward" in the fiction books related to Warcraft and Starcraft. in a forward contained in a Starcraft fiction book Morhaime states that Starcraft is his favourite franchise. so there are no probablies about it.. its his favourite franchise. and every RTS fan should thank the baby jesus that this is the case because without Starcraft the RTS genre is in big big trouble. | ||

This guy is proud of what is done and love it. And he has every right too. Not sure if he really read TL or if someone prepared his interview but prepared interview are just normal. But i wouldn't be surprise if he prepared them himself. They will get better and better with each error they do and we will have the perfect setup when time fly. | ||

I've honestly been really excited about that possibility. I really hope Blizzard doesn't try to fully bring team leagues under WCS. If they want to take region winners and let them duke it out at the end of the year that is fine. Imo they should support the people that do team leagues already (or want to again like NASL?) but not take full control over them. | ||

I too think the Tennis model is better. I didn't walk out of Blizzcon finals thinking sOs was best player in world. And nor should i. It was just another tournament with another champion who was the better person on the day out of a select group of players. No different to any other event. Not to downplay Blizzcon, i love it, but i don't view that event as a legitimate world championship tournament above all the others in terms of determining the best player. | ||

TECHNICALLY it is the world finals of the year of tennis and consists of the highest ranked tennis players based on points. These points are drawn from 250, 500, 1000, and major tournaments. Extremely similar to the less extensive system of WCG (majors being regional WCS Premier finals, 1000 tournaments being tier one tournaments such as IEM and DreamHack, and 500 equivalents being tier two tournaments, and 250 tournaments being WCS Challenger tournaments). Tennis and SC2 can't really be directly compared ofc, but I believe that they are pretty similar at least. I think what you really meant was that the 4 majors in tennis are the most important tournaments of the year, and that even though there is an end of the year tournament with the top ranked players in the world, there is no "major" to represent that. Although both crown a year end Champion of the top point holders, in SC2, WCS is considering that end of the year tournament as a "Major", whereas the ATP doesn't. | ||
