Doesn't help that this is only in the sc2 general forums... especially now that TakeTV is showing a lot of Hearthstone already.

Yeah, that is strange. You can't find infos on the project on liquidhearth!
In addition to the perks listed above we came up with some nice actions we will put into practice as soon as we managed to reach the following amounts of money:
2,500 $ - SingStar battle
We will arrange two progamers to compete in what could possibly be the most muted competition ever on the internet!
10,000 $ - Mila Superstar Cosplay
Our casters will dress up in Mila style and play a volleyball match.
25,000 $ - "Kappa" the watchdog
If we reach this milestone we will adopt a TaKeTV dog and name him Kappa. Yes we are for real. In addition, Kappa will be equipped with a GoPro to help us out with more diverse camera angles for our live shows!
50,000 $ - Twitch plays Dennis
If you ever wanted to live a day in the life of an Esports personality this is your chance! Control Dennis 'TaKe' Gehlen via Twitch Chat and help him achieve some epic quests that we will prepare - or make him run into a wall for 5 hours.
75,000 $ - Kick-Off Event
To give our new home the start that it deserves, we will be livestreaming for a whole week from our new location. We will organize Esports tournaments, do some goofy stuff and entertain you regardless of where you are located on the earth.
I'd love to put some of my dollars toward this... but then I remember what a fiasco the Papa's John deal was... I went way out of my way (25 miles from my house to be exact) to order pizza from them to support E-Sports, and we got nothing, absolutely nothing... and that was Team Liquid and Evil Geniuses pushing that deal, not some shady E-Sports teams...

So my guess is, we'll probably see nothing.
So yeah. No thanks.
Haven't they already announced that they're moving to this place no matter what, and that the money raised is just so that they won't have to take as big loans?

Are you seriously calling TakeTV a shady E-Sports team?

He is saying, not even TL+EG are trustworthy enough to believe concerning money matters

So much lol. TakeTV has put up more for e-sports/SC2 than hardly anybody else who didn't start with a big company to back everything up financially from the beginning. They started with a couch in take's private small apartment and now they actually are a company. But Take keeps investing everything he has (and doesn't have) into new projects and getting bigger. So he is looking for financial supportment.
Cherry-picking a negative example can as well be done with a positive one.
Btw take will not live there, it's a whole place designated for e-sports, for fans, players, casters, producers, workers, etc.
No need to be generous if you don't like the idea of crowdfunding, but giving statements like that and reasoning like you did is just ridiculous and you make yourself look like a fool.
Or as Targa put it

So just to clarify and if I understand correctly: You ordered a pizza from Papa John, it never arrived (?) and you blame TL/EG/esports for that? Am I missing something?

no he refers to the goal promized if enough pizzas were ordered. Tbh I don't remember if everything was honored (I know a lot of fun things were late).

Agreed. But in general, the whole crowdfunding trend relies on people willing to donate money to people/causes they believe in and support. If people want to spend their money on this, who are we to judge.
All goals look a lot more reliable than papa johns goals. Take was/is always authentic.
I believed papa johns did all goals (even one/two happened very late) :o EG and TL cant do anything if papa johns does nothing. This here is pretty different, it's all about Take and his crew.

It's not just that. If Papa Johns for whatever reason does not deliver, well as witnessed you get a few people that are pissed off. Their business of shitty pizza is unaffected. If Take does not deliver/misuses the funds however, he is out of business. Once the reputation is ruined it STAYS ruined. Esports is a small scene, and the german scene especially.
Why would he destroy all the hard work of building what has become an integral part of SC2 and other games/areas for that?

As already mentioned, Take´s not gonna live there.
Also, crowdfunding is a totally legitimate way of financing a project, especially in such a community-driven environment as e-sports. Nobody´s forced to donate anything. Relying on/benefitting from generosity is neither "gross" nor questionable.
