    supernova let all three of these games go on way too long

    Yup. That's what made all the fan outrage about PPV so stupid. I'm just happy there are still free streams, let alone HD ones. FXO occasionally gives stats for their FXOpen Invitationals, and they really make shitall from ads, and have a really low subscriber count (that that's understandable because it's not really a big deal).

    this is a cool article about working in esports

    i'm happy the myth about there somehow being tons of money in esports that's just hidden finally seems to be dispelled

    Where do people think the money comes from?

    I don't understand.

    Sponsors, advertisers, and tickets.

    Except there's no products to sell vidjagame nerds that they don't already aware of, people use Adblock, and refuse to pay for MLG.

    People using adblock need to be stabbed in the throat.

    Fuck you. You don't deserve to watch any Starcraft. You don't deserve to fucking breathe. Fuck you.

    Sorry, I get angry at that.

    My personal favorite is all the people who watched the first arena without paying because Chrome's incognito mode was buggy.

    That bothers me less.

    The main reason why adblock bothers me so much is that it literally has no purpose. Ads do not cost you anything to see. The streamer still sees money from them even if you mute them and look away. And even if you sit there and watch it, its what, a 20-30 second inconvenience? And yet people still want to use the adblock, despite it costing them no money and basically no time, in return for supporting the person they are able to watch play.

    The MLG arena thing was a different story - by abusing the incognito thing, people were able to benefit by watching something they'd otherwise have to pay for.
    I still don't agree with it, but it bothers me less because it at least has a justification.

    But there is no justification for using adblock. People who use it are fuckers who need a good kick in the teeth.

    all i can say is that people better enjoy how readily available free streams for stuff like dreamhack and IPL are

    because that shit is gonna change someday

    People were saying the same thing about Quake in 2001 and CS a few years later. Even with SC2 and LoL there'll be a dip after about four or five years and after that the idea of paying to watch any tournaments becomes laughable.

    Maybe the release model for SC2 will prolong that a little bit.

    busy laddering because I lost a game during the break by lifting a rax that was seconds away from researching stim instead of my starport so I lost to a shitty fucking roach all in. so I missed the protoss winning.

    this is great. protoss are saying you can't win if I get three base so let me make sure I don't die before then. and I won't unless I play like a retard.

    that last engagement was so bad by taeja

    If he'd had a proper concave at the top of those rocks, he'd have been fine

    but nope, there were like 20 marines just trapped at the back all clumped up and then storm happened so he lost.

    That game was over when he lost two dozen workers for a half dozen Gateway units. The rest was just Squirtle building on his lead.

    I still think that you're being silly - you're making money for someone, somewhere, and it costs you absolutely nothing (on a website, not even time) to have those ads up on your screen.

    But at least you disable it for people who really rely on the ad revenue.

    Yeah. The suits are ugly enough, but those lime green ties are truly, truly terrible. I don't even understand why they picked them. The Code A casters have red ties (iirc) that are at least classic-looking. Suits are still awful, but it's not an ensemble of ugly.

    If you're on a bandwidth capped internet connection, using adblock is completely justifiable.

    at least artosis doesn't have the shark fin haircut anymore

    why did they keep doing that to him

  • jaziekjaziek Registered User regular
    I don't think the suits are that bad. Looks like something you'd get from Topman for like £150. Not good by suit standards, but better than a t-shirt and a blazer.

    if you're on a tight enough bandwidth cap like that you shouldnt even be on the internet more than an hour a day

    nobody who is smart enough about the internet to know about adblock has a bandwidth cap that low, ok

    ads don't use that much bandwidth

    I wish you couldn't ff ramps. it sucks that he can do that attack, it doesn't work, and T can't ... do anything, P just expands and techs and is pretty safe.

    Terran could not cut scvs the way Taeja did. It was 26 probes to 24. Thats pretty unforgivable when you go reaper expand.
