The stadium thing is interesting because which day would people be most interested in? The finals and semi finals of a huge tournament could be only 10 - 12 games and like 1 - 2 hours of actual gameplay at most and could involve players that people don't care as much about.

When I read the "the dreamer" I immediatly thought iNcontrol was practicing with Nal_Ra LOLOLOL nice write up man. Who knows I may start practicing and doing some "freelance" stuff for the community. I already stream every once in a while and encourage my friends on fb to follow!

INcontrol, it's people like you that make me love eSports even more. Thank you so much for all you do.
As a broke college student, I just make it a point to tell everyone I know that isn't aware about eSports how much I love it and enjoy it. Definitely going to try and contribute more in the future, especially after reading this. (:

i'd like to think that i do a lot of these things you mentioned already. I do however, really appreciate that you took the time to explain how important it actually is to email and contact sponsors to tell them you love that they're a part of this. This is something you occasionally brought up on SOTG, but i always figured it was mostly just for your sponsors sake.

To know that this actually makes a difference means i will start actively doing this whenever sponsors broaden their reach and whenever new ones pop up. I already have huge respect for razer and how much they care about gamers and try and buy their stuff whenever i can.

As far as just difference of opinion. I think that streaming and the internet will grow with sc2 and that television will eventually die out... that will be awhile, but i think starcraft highlights one of those things that can only meet it's full potential online. I hope they can coexist and espn will bring in more fans, and although i'm just as optimistic, i believe that it can reach an incredible amount online.

Thanks a lot for these thoughts. Really appreciate it, it's been informative and i think it's great that you aren't only attempting to mass our community but also keep it as great as it is and striving for something even better. Don't ever leave sc and join some other stupid cause like saving puppies or i will cry. thank you

^_^ Nice read, iNcontroL! I am excited to see what we can accomplish in 2012. I am hoping the "big" plans we have this year will look dwarfed compared to what the community actually achieves this time next year.

SC2 needs a gotfrag, too bad that died. I think honestly though there is way too many events for fans to watch, but maybe that is just me..

Brings up alot of good points.

Seriously, follow your favorite player on twitter. Congratulate them on recent wins and things of the like. Don't be like the majority of the people who follow players and then thats it. Interact with them, thats why they are there. They really appreciate it.
