I highly doubt this, while it would be awesome if it were true. i just dont see the business sense behind it to not expect much more coverage for the amount they are putting in.

for example

1) no stream. the last fxo event for $1500. got over 200k hits on the stream let alone the amount of advertisement and exposure it got. for $20k you should be aiming at a much higher number.

2) the date, they scheduled it on the same date as MLG, = not many views even if there was a stream. while forgivable as mlg was announced recently more thought needs to be given next time.

3) no brackets and its still only 2 days away???? wtf

4) no interviews/news etc no hype at all from what i can see.

5) they had the worst map pool and only after so many poeple said so. yes its good that they changed it, but for this amount of $$ you should be researching your market first.

6) unless ive missed it, i still have no clue what kind of format they are running, this will run very late into the night if its your standard 64 man single elim bo3 where is the organisation??????

like i said i really do wish for more events like this in the future, however from a business point of view i cant see it being worth it without all of the above being fixed.
