As you know, or I hope you know, the financial markets goin nuts and again Dow Jones and the german DAX are losing ground. Well beside that how does this effect the esports market? I'ts clear that soon or later the american market will crash, I don't want to predict it, but it looks like more and more amercian states goin bankrupt and they simply don't have money to pay people as the state of California for example (source www.sueddeutsche.de).

Well I want to ask you again how will the esports react? We still have many tournaments upcoming and just the latest fight in LA was a big success I think. Especially for SK of course which I want to congrats for their victory!
However, will we have exciting tournaments in the future or the economy crises will crash esports?

What do you think?

sorry for any gramma or spelling mistakes

lol :D

e-sports will return underground and wait for a comeback when the world seems undenyably in depression, causing a huge uprising, sparking economic growth and ultimately taking over the world

Maybe we'll see online competitions become popular again. Eurocup, NGL etc. etc. If teams can't afford to fly to tournaments or organisers can't afford to pay winners then going back to online play seems like a sensible solution. Of course, this would be pretty crappy for managers, pro players and so on.

but e-sports inst really a commodity, its just something that gamers follow

I think the crisis won't have a lot influence on the esport market. The organisations still have their sponsors and I think they have enough money.

that was @ star, yeah i agree with zechs if people cant afford it online will become more popular
soz double post

here we go :)
