Open Bracket - good news Catz is casting – awesome! Destiny is co-casting?!?! -- I really don’t understand this decision. Regardless of his relationship with Catz It’s a total sell out IMO… he has viewers for the same reason Anna Nicole had ratings.. people want to look at the train wreck.. but if you actually cared what people wanted like you state.. you’ll ditch the immature act and get someone who doesn’t freely break contracts and spew racial bigotry and hateful slurs. He’s bad for esports.. he fits the stereotype many are trying to shed surrounding online gaming and esports… If you really want esports to grow and become mainstream you need to stop giving people like destiny opportunities to drive people away. | ||

Sundance made a direct apology about ending SC2 on a tweet "That was sloppy and unprofessional and 100% my fault. I allowed my personal frustration to overwhelm me and responded to one of the many people who were asking me for an update with an ill advised tweet. I'm not expecting anyone to understand nor am I expecting it to be forgiven - I just want to apologize for how I personally handled it. There was a ton happening behind the scenes that led to my frustration but that doesn't make it ok. I fucked up MASSIVELY, which I do from time to time. Hopefully I'm a better person and learned from it. Time will tell. Anyway - I'm excited about this. We're taking it very serious and I promise to try not to fuck up so majorly again (however, smaller fuck ups from me are almost guaranteed) Hope to see some of you at Anaheim. -sd" http://www.reddit.com/r/starcraft/comments/1uqgbs/mlg_announces_americas_only_sc2_activity_and/cekpvcr good move by the Vince Mcmahon of eSports. Lol eSports needs a Mr. Mcmahon... along with player entrances, theme songs, gimmicks, scripted storylines, and backstage moments. One of these days my dream of seeing MC choke-slamming Idra and then settling it in a GSL finals will come true. EDIT: Also my disappointment with eSF and KeSPA being nothing like WWF vs WCW :S | ||

People watch him because he's entertaining not because of his choice of words (which by the way he's toned down) I hope people tune into this to show MLG that SC2 is worth having at the live events. | ||

Happy with any positive SC2 development, but my personal preference is to go back to the old format and bring in the Koreans so we get to see the best play possible. There will be an Open Bracket at Anaheim. | ||

I disagree strongly with this statement, MLG´s events always had their problems as well, I don´t think, they are better than the old IPL crew, which now works for Blizzard, at all. That being said, ofc. I agree with the part, that some MLG is ofc. better than none. But still, I´m sceptical, some stuff from the article sounds really bad (for example a tournament, which is there to help the local scene grow and then has 0 qualifiers completely misses it´s purpose). Let´s see, how it turns out I guess. | ||
