Just wanted to share my piece here. It is safe to say that not delivering on all of the tiers for Papa John's is something I am not proud of. I take our word very seriously and it saddens me deeply that we did not come through on this within a reasonable time frame. That said, I do want to make sure that those of you pointing to this are doing so with the right information in mind. Out of all the tiers promised



For the pizza party the difficulty is that there are basically no events for StarCraft to do this at nowadays. As a solution we did pizza parties last Sunday in LA and SF, and have decided to add to the concept by hosting an online one and dedicate a pizza party VOD viewing night specifically for StarCraft. For the showmatches cross-game is a difficult concept more fun in word than in practice. The showmatches in the announcement are included to make sure we deliver on this tier with similar but alternative content. I'm confident we can come up with some great ideas for this that will reward both players and fans in the SC scene. Just wanted to share my piece here.

That said, I do want to make sure that those of you pointing to this are doing so with the right information in mind. Out of all the tiers promised 8/10 tiers were delivered on . The remaining tiers are a pizza party, and the cross-game showmatches. With this announcement we've made sure to deliver, or come close to delivering as is realistically possible, on the outstanding tiers as a part of this announcement, and I don't think any of us would have wanted to move forward without doing so.For the pizza party the difficulty is that there are basically no events for StarCraft to do this at nowadays.

A few years ago, Evil Geniuses and Team Liquid partnered with Papa John’s on something we called Pizza.GG. As some of you may recall, the esports community helped unlock tiers of special events, giveaways, and content by—well, y’know—ordering pizza. The goal was to show Papa John’s that esports was for real and that the esports community was a place worth investing in—and the response was overwhelming. Every single tier was unlocked within 2 days, which exceeded even our wildest expectations. While the event was a success, we know that we can do better.



Now, it might have taken a while, but we’re back (finally)! Over the next few months, EG and Liquid will be working with Papa John’s to bring you guys more special events and cool content. We’ve got even better ingredients this time, and these are just some of the things we’ve got in the works:





50% off Online Pizza Orders

To celebrate this announcement, Papa John’s is offering 50% off on all pizzas ordered online within the United States through December 27th! Follow the instructions on the page above to enjoy your own half-off pizza delivery!





Starcraft Community VOD Night

The Starcraft community was crucial to the success of our first Pizza.GG partnership a few years ago, and what better way to celebrate Starcraft than to spend a day eating pizza and watching VODs? We'll be putting together a Community VOD Night in early January, which will allow Starcraft fans to experience all of the feels with their favorite EG and Liquid pros as we all look back at some of the most memorable matches in history. Chill out in our voice channel and chat with other fans about your fondest memories and favorite games. Some of our players will be there to mingle, so don't be surprised to hear a familiar voice! Oh, and did we mention the pizza? Certain lucky fans who join the VOD Night channel will receive a free pizza they can enjoy while they watch.





Showmatches

Beginning in early January, we'll be organizing a variety of showmatches sponsored by Papa John's. Together, we've put aside $25,000 for the festivities, and every game is going to get some love. While we already have a few interesting ideas of our own, we want to know what you'd like to see! From grudge matches to themed games, we're all ears for what you guys would enjoy the most. We'll be requesting showmatch ideas from you guys in the coming weeks.

lestye Profile Joined August 2010 United States 3182 Posts Last Edited: 2015-12-07 23:31:00 #5 Is there a reason to use a generic PizzaGG code? It seems theres a lot of codes, TeamliquidPro, TeamliquidLoL, Hungrybox, PPMD etc. I am kinda conflicted on whose code to use.



I'd hate the use the wrong code, and TL management making Bunny and/or Mana attend a sales workshop because they weren't pushing enough Pizzas.



I'm really confused what took so long to bring this back when the first event was so successful. "You guys are just edgelords. Embrace your inner weeb desu" -Zergneedsfood

BronzeKnee Profile Joined March 2011 United States 5110 Posts Last Edited: 2015-12-08 01:45:01 #14 How dare you create this promotion when you completely failed to deliver on the previous one?



I bought a bunch of pizza and drove 20 miles to get it (40 mile round trip), and got shafted. Do I like pizza? Sure. But even with the discount the pizza I bought cost more than my favorite pizza place in my town and I had to drive quite far to get it.



Shame on TL. Deliver what said you would, then do a pizza promotion, because this is just a slap in our faces.

actually as harsh as he makes it sound, i agree with it. The last pizza promotion was very unsatisfactory for the community. I don't know why another event is being promoted, when the people who bought pizza for the last one got cheated basically.

Doodsmack Profile Blog Joined August 2010 United States 7089 Posts #18 Well it at least looks like they've set their sights lower as far as the number of rewards offered. This time around, there's not 10 reward levels for different amounts of pizzas. And there's probably a reason.

I don't see any rewards?



I think they're holding off the reward tier bonus until Jan. 4th, as seen on their website, unless you're seeing something I'm not.

Localhost Profile Joined October 2015 2 Posts #20 Until the promises from last time are fulfilled, I don't think supporting this is a good idea.



Last time around, there was a ton of support, we hit every goal fairly quickly, and then got ignored for the most part. This seems like more of a "We waited a couple years, hopefully people forgot, let's try again", than anything else.
