I never mention anything about total dedication , everyone has their own social life / work life / student life etc .  And just so you know , our Singapore counter parts  , share with us that their recent tourney in singapore , with no prize pool , attracted a crowd of players to participate ranging  from 30 to 40 people .  am I not amazed lol.

On the other side , I do agree prize pool plays a role , but giving an example of rm10 for the prize pool is way out of line , sorry to say . but looking at the recent tourney of spot gamers ,  i do think their prize pool is decent for our SC2 community, 1000 for first , 700 for 2nd , 400 for 3rd, 250 for 4th, 150 from 5 to 8th and 75 9 -16th,but what are the numbers of Malaysian SC2 gamers that participated ?  = /
Back to the table topic ,

And to SC gamers out there , if you guys want to play a part in disallowing the SC community from dying in Malaysia ,  for those who has free time during their weekend, do participate in the Taylors tournament , be it for the prize pool , the networking among start craft 2 players , or just go and grasp the feeling of competing among fellow Malaysian gamers  .  Cheers .

Typical Malaysian mentality, want diamonds, but will only pay peanuts.

the US60$ is not just for the campaign (even that isn't THAT short, its still 10+ hours long I think) but for the Multiplayer feature.

The multiplayer is MASSIVE in features, from the thousands of minigames in customs (Star Battle is already enough to soak up all your time) to the always updating map pools of league games.

In case you didn't know, the price dropped significantly and you can get a lot of good deals online. Blizzard is not owned by Activision, they just did a merger. And like other players say, it's not about the "short" single player but the multi player experience that is the real deal!!!

vivendi universal did the merger, they are the publisher of blizzard entertainment. VU + activision = activision blizzard (riding on the blizzard name, due to their huge success over WoW)

Sad to see this post. Payouts have never been better. Yet everyone thinks that "Oh 180 expensive wei. I play DOTA better". FYI there aren't very many teams that take part in tournaments in DOTA as well and only the best teams ever get paid. How many times has a 4th place finisher gotten paid in such an event in Malaysia? Don't forget you're intending to split the prize money with your teammates. And unless you can find a kia su team you aren't going far since everyone has to improve together. Your skill in SC2 is all up to how much you put into it. Can't learn? Watch Day9 man. Even i do. Honestly, the infrastructure is there. It's just that Malaysians aren't willing to put in the extra effort cuz well "It's too hard la. That race IMBA"! Well if you don't work hard you don't get what you want. It's as simple as that.

Anyway guys, please enter the up coming tournaments. Spotgamers were kind enough to offer the Top 16 a minimum of RM75. Guess what there were only 17 participants. As a player i feel bad for them since it's almost free money. It's supposed to encourage players to join but i was dissapointer at the turnout. This kind of payout, as opposed to large pool top 3 takes all is way better since variance is so much lower. Tournament of 64 players? Just win 2 rounds and you've made 6 times your entry fee. Not to mention the fact that the higher the prize pool, the higher the number of international players that will join. You don't have to be awesome like Cobo and take 1st place to make money anymore. But you gotta at least be on par with the crowd.

I would definitely participate in a tourney with minimal prize pool. Spotgamers is being more than generous imo. Top 16 is very achievable for the lower tier players and what not.

A lot of people don't understand that it takes participation for the prize pool to get bigger. Sponsors would hardly dip their pockets into a bad investment.

The root of the problem here as silk said, is the mindset and perception towards joining tourneys!

i think most of us were nt aware of the sportsgamer recent event as well else u'll see higher turnout.

Its advertised on facebook as well their own website . it even has a thread on our SC2 forums as well as lowyat competitive gaming . Foreigners knows about the tourneys , and not malaysians ? Don't get me wrong , im not pointing fingers at anyone , but what im trying to say , alot of Malaysian sc2 players do frequent lowyat.net for guides /updates/tourneys etc, so i believe they have access to such Information

those ppl who complain the SP is short...
basically those are the ones who go jack sparrow the game
heck,even the starter edition are free now,for ALL REGIONS TOO!!

& even the game itself was only <RM160 nowadays...i bought one for my friend as a sign of congratulations & complimentary for him to continue playing sc2 (previously he only go for the 30-day prepaid card)

Idk, I'm only willing to buy online, and that's how much Blizzard's online download edition costs. Don't want to go to shops to buy games anymore, last time I went tro SS2 to buy a game from TSB I kena sangkut in two hour traffic jam, have problem finding parking, and nearly kena sangkut when going home because I parked my car in an area that was going to have pasar malam (seriously? pasar malam in an area with nasty congestion and parking problem? WTF is MPPJ thinking!?!).

TSB's online store is no better. Have to fax in IC to verify account first. Hello! How many people have fax machine at home!

Just checked. More or less same price as Blizzard online store. Maybe I'll just see if I can spare the money in a few days and buy it from Blizzard. Like the idea of instant download.

Din know about starter edition or else I'd have grabbed it first. Blizzard didn't advertise it on their SC2 main page. Really bodoh of them tongue.gif
