I take our word very seriously and it saddens me deeply that we did not come through on this within a reasonable time frame. That said, I do want to make sure that those of you pointing to this are doing so with the right information in mind. Out of all the tiers promised 8/10 tiers were delivered on. The remaining tiers are a pizza party, and the cross-game showmatches. With this announcement we've made sure to deliver, or come close to delivering as is realistically possible, on the outstanding tiers as a part of this announcement, and I don't think any of us would have wanted to move forward without doing so. For the pizza party the difficulty is that there are basically no events for StarCraft to do this at nowadays. As a solution we did pizza parties last Sunday in LA and SF, and have decided to add to the concept by hosting an online one and dedicate a pizza party VOD viewing night specifically for StarCraft. For the showmatches cross-game is a difficult concept more fun in word than in practice. The showmatches in the announcement are included to make sure we deliver on this tier with similar but alternative content. I'm confident we can come up with some great ideas for this that will reward both players and fans in the SC scene. |
Works in Canada in case anyone is wondering

Until the promises from last time are fulfilled, I don't think supporting this is a good idea.
Last time around, there was a ton of support, we hit every goal fairly quickly, and then got ignored for the most part. This seems like more of a "We waited a couple years, hopefully people forgot, let's try again", than anything else.
I agree with you on the basis of the principal, but when I get pizza I only order from papa johns anyway, so not using this would be ridiculously stupid for me.

I love how they ask what we would want to see. We should all ask for the showmatches and stuff from last time.
And how bout those gift cards they had promised?
|
This is bizarre since neither EG or Liquid have a very active SC2 team
Edit: Oh, its a community thing, so its not necessarily geared towards Starcraft 2?
|
Pretty much this. Deliver what was promised last time first. Otherwise, we who don't normally buy from Papa John's don't care. Those that do are just going to use it for the coupon. Don't expect much excitement or engagement from the community when they were burned before with promises not being kept.

Oh boy, this can't end well. On the other hand the sc2 community is just a drop in the bucket now and I'm sure the other communities will love this. So overall it should still be a success. Just make sure to deliver all the promised stuff in a timely manner this time or this will hurt the reputation of EG, TL and PapaJohn in all the esports scenes.
Kinda happy that this has nothing do with Germany anway, so I don't have to think about whether I want to support this or not.

Yeah, I'm all for supporting stuff like this, but given how long it took for the rewards to come out last time (if at all) I'm sort of skeptical. Especially since I'm not a huge Papa John's fan in the first place.

I wouldn't be so sure, the other communities will likely have enough people that bled over from SC that were aware of the last pizza.gg, or will hear about it because of talk between the communities (News travels fast online). Hopefully they don't get fooled as well.
Well actually, hopefully things turn out well this time and everything is great, but I'm not going to be too optimistic.

I am another one of the people who bought extra pizzas to help support the community events and they never happened. Kind of bullshit there is another event like this. But don't worry guys, my life for auir is coming out soon, just like the other documentaries. heuhueheuh... :l

They never happened except for Tier 8 if I remember.
And I really wanted to see the eating contest for some reason. I had this feeling Machine would win.

I think the showmatch thing will be cool, that much money should be able to bring some great stuff. But god help them against the shitshow that would follow if they mess up on delivering promises again.
|
hahaha this can't be serious
This was one big clusterfuck last time. These showmatches will probably happen in 2018

How dare you create this promotion when you completely failed to deliver on the previous one?
I bought a bunch of pizza and drove 20 miles to get it (40 mile round trip), and got shafted. Do I like pizza? Sure. But even with the discount the pizza I bought cost more than my favorite pizza place in my town and I had to drive quite far to get it.
Shame on TL. Deliver what said you would, then do a pizza promotion, because this is just a slap in our faces.
And if anyone thinks they will deliver on the showmatches, then you're just ignorant.
wow you drove 40 miles for a pizza? amazing!

this has to be a joke thread, right

Canada works fo sho? I didn't think it did last time.
edit: confirmed it works in Canada! Shit yeah pizza all day everyday until this ends.
