After FXOpen has teamed with ST, things seem to be a little bit different with what our "investor" says earlier.

But still, even the smart one will choose to leave Malaysia, and focus on somewhere with better potential, this we call smart play, i believe FXOpen isn't dumb right?

Nice spirit, but i doubt it is going to make a difference unless the prize money is RM2000 above. 

You honestly think so ?  IF a 1k prize pool tourney , and the numbers who turn up is so low , I personally don't think that a 10k tourney is in place ,all the lower tier players or the people you mention would turn up. Instead i think the number of foreigners participating would be high . LoL 

Like the recent Spotgamers tourney , the number of foreigners that turn up for the open qualifier last Saturday , was almost equal to the Malaysians that participated. What am i trying to say is ,the amount of Malaysians that even bother participating is pathetic .About the prize pool, is RM 1k big to the foreigners ? honestly no . Barely covers their accommodation and transportation , and this is taking into account in the event where  you get first place , but the foreigners still did come down and had fun and compete .

Spotgamers even made it in a way where the top 16 gets rewarded , which is a good initiative by them , not to mention the lucky draws as well as freebies .
The platform is there , with tournaments popping up here and there , but what we are lacking are the players . How hard is it to join a tournament , be it as a casual or a competitive player ? its like another platform to get to know other players as well as socializing, apart from competing .
In short , no matter what the exposure is ,how big the tourneys are , if the community does not  change their mindset like what radical mentioned , it would be futile as well .
I don't mean any offence to anyone , nor is it targeted towards any individual , just my thoughts after the 2 days event at spotgamers .

I still can't wait for the day where all  the missing links would just turn up at a SC2 tourney , with a  64 player bracket .

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 .

Well, price is too steep. US$60 is a lot of money for it given that I hear the campaign is too short. I've been waiting for price to fall, but since it's release date it never fell.

If Blizzard really want to make money, they should try offering the title at 75% discount sale like Steam. I won't think twice if the game's only RM45, but RM180... Given that Blizzard's owned by Activision tho, Kotick is probably too greedy to even consider...
