Hm, I'm not saying this isn't cool, but I am not a fan of fancy locations that cost too much. I'd rather see the event at a cheaper, maybe bigger venue and use the money for a bigger prize pool or more teams attending offline.

I still hope they reach their goal and it's a great success!


In my opinion, Iron Squid was special almost only because of the insane atmosphere. The custom-made music, the venue, the orchestra and the crazy trophy made to match are all what made Iron Squid so memorable and so unique. They could probably make NationWars II happen with less money, but they're aiming for something unique along the lines of Iron Squid, and an ordinary tournament won't be that.

I like the crowdfunding but shouldnt it be possible to find at least SOME sponsors for this event? Every event has sponsors, why dont you fund the event 50% from sponsors and 50% from crowdfunding?


If they don't have sponsors willing to dish out money for the offline section of the tournament then what can they do?


Hm, will the live coverage at the venue be in English or in French? Regardless how insane the atmosphere is, you can't really immerse yourself with it, if you do not understand anything. At least that was my experience with the last Iron Squid.

French


Aww, then I'll have nothing of the majority of the show.

Wow Pomf & Thud are a lot bigger in France than I thought. It's crazy that they already managed to crowdfund almost €100k for SC2.

This event is awesome and needs our support !
IS 1 & 2 were absolutely awesome, The events in Lyon and meltdown were also quite awesome... P&T&Co sure know how to run a real show and not only broadcasting sc2 matches.
I believe that those are the type of event where the crowd can go full crazy (especially if france makes it to the finals )

But while i'm all for this event i find the lack of initial investment quite disturbing, i mean ogaming is basically asking us to pay for the whole thing...Can't they at least invest some of their own money (beside the initial prize money ) on it...i don't know even something like 5k-10k.

Also some sponsors would be nice ( they don't need to cover the whole thing but they could provide hardware support or % of the money required ) they managed to find some in the past and have quite the good reputation in france so why don't they took some is quite the mystery for me.

How come the total prizemoney distribution is 105% ?
Is whoever made it just bad at math?

Well done and I'll be sure to chip in, although I really wished you had picked a bigger place rather than a fancy one, would have loved to take the trip to Paris.

This would be so cool but seems a bit extravagant for a Starcraft event.

Can't wait to see what comes of this
I used to play random, but for you I play very specifically.

God, dat IronSquid 2 video... Why don't more tournaments have the players walk down the aisles?

On topic, i hope this gets enough funding! Will probably donate some myself

Why did they wait a month to post this on TL when they first started the crowd funding? Now we only have 14 days to get the rest of the world on board and donate.

Let's do this fellas!

I don't fully understand this, is the first step already reached now? They say it's 80.000 from tickets and 65.000 from online donations and as far as I can tell the online donations are already at 97.000 or does that include the 80.000 from tickets?

It does include the 80 000 from tickets. They still need ~50k€.

While the Sc2 community struggles to reach 145 000€ for one tournament, the Dota 2 community already gave up more than $8.000.000 for the International and other tournaments...

And you are assuming that the situations are the same, and that we care because..?
