Just read the short description about MTG, found out they are the largest shareholder in CTC Media, which is Russia’s leading independent media company. I am really surpised.


I'm not really comforted by the fact they meddle with Russian companies. Guess it depends what's the true meaning of "independant" in that description...

Oh well.

Come on, it's in the thread, and can be found with a simple google search (as it's the headlines right now).

What I don't get is why did they sell with such a stupid low valuation. Sold for 28 mil when the company made 69 mil in sales just for the last year and projections for double in this year.

Revenue =/= Profit

Addendum: Revenue = Sales = Turnover

My bad I read the sales thinking it was $ not SEK. So seems fair enough.

I think for SC2, we probably don't need to worry yet. blizzard have shown that they are willing to intervene in league management when they feel they need to. so i think we will be one of the last games to get hit by something like this in a negative way

Quite an interesting link I think is worth sharing:

MTG’s Arnd Benninghoff: “Esports has reached the critical mass to be relevant”

Of course, Aeromi found that.

I love that game and I still have a lot of Magic cards. So this sounds good to me! Grats DH .
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

A little concerning one company is controlling Turtle Entertainment (hence ESL) and DreamHack now.

nope,
not with ATVI making their own esports division.

also, as a stand alone business SC2 esports is not profitable so in that subsection of the business there is nothing to exploit by having a monopoly.

DH/ESL is not only about SC2 :-)

Anyway, I am glad someone made clear what MTG is, I know it only as that card game
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

DH, ESL and ESEA is way more than SC2.
