Red Bull bought IPL according to Sir Scoots.
from what i've heard, kevin was offered a large sum of money upfront + paid travel to a lot of events. i don't offer salaries for players or signing bonuses, and maybe that's just what he wanted. ultimately it's all good :3 i'll just have to work harder to be the best team in the fgc again
. AgreeI'm not even talking about contracts, he should had just said "hey Koogy, I'm leaving, take care"

Oh, wow.Red Bull bought IPL according to Sir Scoots.
This attitude just reeks of jealousy. Don't really see why it's anybody's responsibility to support what they have no interest in.
I secured the spot for 3rd stream at Final Round. If Larry says I gotta cover Melty Blood and Spooky/FunkyP get SF4 and Marvel, I'm still cool.
Think "naivety" is a better word than "jealousy", the truth is that people want to pretend that their favourite fighting game is the best fighting game ever and everyone should support it, but problem is there are tens of fighting games that can be held in a tourney. And it's pretty naive to expect the FGC to support every of the fighting games. Time is limited, resources are limited, it's just not possible for someone to care much about the poverty Melty Blood/Skullgirls/VF5 when in the first place he would rather spend time playing LoL or COD than a fighting game.
If Red Bull can sponsor technology development and execution of a sub-orbital jump, then they shouldn't have any problem with IPL financially. I do wonder how they will manage it. This has potential to be a game-changing shift.
Jebailey sweatin' with dat NOS sponsorship now.

On the bright side, hopefully this means someone else gets sponsored by BT. I hope Chris Matrix gets to be the one to be sponsored, he deserves it.
Mike Ross Red Bull commercial?
The tourist board will continue to put money into it as long as people keep attending VXG. Last year had 150 international players from the Caribbean alone and 2 major islands didn't attend. VXG isn't solely dependent on US players to survive, the Caribbean players view this as their event and will continue to support it.

Viscant is amazing on twitter. I can't believe it took him so long to get it going.
lolzSweet if Viscant doesn't enter maybe I can win a tournament.
Thats why Brokentier sponsors him. For the tweetsViscant is amazing on twitter. I can't believe it took him so long to get it going.

He's one of the best people from the FGC to follow on Twitter.
This is a lie, if he got a lot of money, he'll spend it all to buy Felicia Day.
you don't have to quote me ;_; i'm right here ;_;
but yeah, no plans to expand
I think the scene is in a better place than it has been in the last couple of years. More of what has happened this year would be fine with me, I guess.Think "naivety" is a better word than "jealousy", the truth is that people want to pretend that their favourite fighting game is the best fighting game ever and everyone should support it, but problem is there are tens of fighting games that can be held in a tourney.

This guy cracks me the fuck up lmao.

edit: V- lol
funny story about viscant.
at NEC i told him repeatedly to get a twitter. i explained to him it was the ultimate form of media for him. he was very upset at me, told me i was not pure and kicked me out of the suite.
2 days later he gets one, and the rest is history.
From the looks of it, most of the money for VxG is coming from the tourism board, not the Caribbean player. The way they are spending money from sponsoring Cross Counter and multiple major events not counting their own event (where most of their money will go), I highly doubt this whole lavish Caribbean tournament isn't viable.
Regarding the 150 international players, a lot of them were probably sponsored player or were given a free play trip to St. Maarten. Lastly, if the US players aren't there, their tournament won't be as big. It would be just another regional tournament with maybe a handful of international players.
Rolando thinks he can just buy up the FGC with his island money and shady tactics, all under the guise of the laid-back, carefree, dimwit stoner that no one would ever suspect... shits gonna be crazy by EVO time.

That's that VxG qualifier right?
