So, Tl(notice i didnt make the L big, cus im a baller like HerO), im going to ask you a question my friend asked me the other, and i found myself without an answer.
Pretend you just came by 5 million USD, but you would only be able to spend them on supporting eSports( or just sc2), growing eSports(or just sc2) or helping eSports in any other way(or just sc2).

How would you spend these the best way?

btw i do not want to hear about how you would not spend them on eSports, but buy that house by the beach you've always wanted.

Perhaps lobbying to get ESPORTS on mainstream television. This would generate more interest in the subject and thus more money via sponsoring. I honestly think it wouldn't be a bad idea for TV stations either: for tiny licensing fees, they could reach a relatively large audience.

I'd start a european tournament similar to NASL, just better :p

Then the finals would be the top 8 of the NASL, the top 8 of Code S and the Top 8 of the EUSL fighting for their respective regions.

Here's what I'd probably do:

Dear TeamLiquid,

Enclosed is a check for 5 million dollars, I know you'll do the right thing.

Love,

I've been thinking what i would do if i won a lottery or something worth a 2-5million. Probably give at least 5-XXk $ (depending how big the prize is) to some tournament. TSL/TL could be a good choice, since IPL, NASL, GSL etc has already big moneys/or sponsors.

But would definitely support E-sports somehow if i had huge amount of money lying around, pretty much.

I would probably get people together and organise an eSports event here in the Netherlands. All the big events in Europe have been in Germany (IEM), Sweden (Dreamhack), and France (BlizzCon). I would love to be able to bring eSports to our country!
This signature is ruining eSports.

Yeah, something like this. I think it would be a better idea to present some sort of a documentary rather than actual matches since it would be cheaper and more likely to break stereotypes and cause interest though.

Also, you're miscapitalizing ESPORTS, OP.

Sponsor the OSL/MSL, alternatively buy MBC (if they would be swayed by such an insignificant sum)

Establish an endowment for innovators and popularizers of ESPORTS! Use the interest to hand out $1-$5k awards for outstanding effort on behalf of ESPORTS. Provide awards in some form for all good grant applications. Provide prize money for community-organized tournaments. Host viewing parties for major events, and make sure advertisers get accurate viewer numbers.

I would give one million to team liquid.
And create some kind of structure that would be on television.
I'm thinking reality team houses with team league.
Hmm... global so no one has to move just set up a few more houses fly the casters to different locations for different matches but hold the matches online.
yes yes... could even keep a ridiculous amount in reserve for the winning team.
BW pros training sc2 is like kiss making a dub step album.
