This is an idea that has repeatedly entered my head several times. It's inexplicable. No reason why. But every time I think of it I get really excited. I'm not going to try to explain why. Instead I will just sort of outline what I see.

A gala. Perhaps at the end of the year. Perhaps in Europe or something. A convention center. Limited capacity. Limited attendance. Only select members of the community with notability or press passes (Hot_Bid, Carmac, etc.)

Imagine all your favorite progamers in nice formal wear. Some would dress exceptionally well. Imagine SeleCT in a particularly suave skinny suit. Liquid`HerO perhaps as well. Sheth? Always looks good, especially in a suit. TLO and DeMusliM? Undeniably. Some may look funnier though. IdrA? HuK? KawaiiRice?

You'd also get to see everyone's girlfriend's or dates. Grubby would arrive fashionably, with his equally (if not more fashionably) dressed wife, former Miss Singapore. Rainbow would arrive with his frequently admired girlfriend. iNc and Anna Prosser as well. Who would net Lindsay Sporrer as a date?

There'd be announcements for upcoming events. Comparison of various alcohols. Virgin drinks for Pokebunny and KawaiiRice.. Perhaps a game or two. Drinks brought by hired caterers. Food. Good music.

I know it's not typical of gamer culture to attend these sorts of things. But an event with this level of class would certainly be fun, if only in my imagination.

How about this, but with an awards ceremony? Like awards for best game, best player, 10 ten pimpest plays, etc.

Would be pretty awesome if someone/some people could manage this.

This would be awesome. The Progamer black and white ball. =)

Will it be a Sady's? Will the girls have to ask the guys? It would be just like homecoming....jk.

EDIT: Will we get Marines posting youtube videos asking Pro-gamers to their dance? Will they accept? I am trolling some, but I actually think it would be cool.

Well Gala's are generally held for a reason and I honestly can't think of one when it comes to esports / starcraft.

Which leads me to believe it would feel incredibly contrived and unnatural if this were to ever occur.

Unfortunately I can't help but feel that starcraft and black tie events are just one pairing that was never meant to be.

I can just imagine Deezer straightening CombatEX's bow tie, CombatEX with a panicked look on his face asking, "But what if I do something wrong? I'm just not cut out to be a well-mannered gentleman; I don't know anything about etiquette!"

Deezer looks him in the eye and says, "You could sit here and learn rules that might make you better, or you can go out there now and do what you do best; watch real gentlemen with hawkish attention and then respond accordingly."
