These are just some thoughts I had today while watching the 3-4 match. It's possible some of them have been mentioned and shot down before and I haven't been a regular in the TSL forum so I'm just going to ask for some informal feedback here.

1) Sell DVDs of the tsl matches. Is this allowed? Will Blizzard be protected since the matches were generated by using their software? Someone on IRC said DVDs have been sold in Korea of Boxer's best matches etc, so maybe it is viable. It would be great if we could generate revenue this way and put it towards improving the TSL or other TL projects. The artists could possibly put together an attractive dvd case.

2) Sell Razer TSL gear. There should be a 'store' button on the razer tsl website. I'm glad TL sold some shirts recently (remember I bought one) but what I'm talking about is actual merchandise since the Razer TSL is more or less a profit-seeking agent now. Of course TL would have to coordinate with Razer, but if some proceeds went into improving the TSL I'm sure Razer would be okay with it.

3) Have a bracket making competition at the beginning of the next round of xx. I'm thinking it could work just like the NCAA basketball brackets and have prizes etc.

Again, just some thoughts.

getting other fans of RTS and video games to understand the superiority of starcraft to whatever they play would be a nice start . At least getting EVERYONE who likes watching competitive video gaming aware of TSL.

I'm surprised we didn't have a bracket making contest, actually.

DVDs would be higher quality, for one. Also, I can leave it playing in the background on a larger screen than my laptop when i have people over. Kind of a background sort of thing. I don't know what the demand would be though.

Demand will probably be low because most people can just watch on youtube or download like someone else said. I think the only games worth buying on dvd would be truly epic or classic games like the boxer one they made.

1) We have a contract with Blizzard that probably disallows it (I really have no idea, legalese is so hard to read).

2) I don't see any reason for it. We barely even sell TL gear, and not with the aim of making a profit. Any profit we did make from it would be ridiculously small compared to what we'd need if it weren't a volunteer project.

3) This was planned, but we weren't sure what Razer was going to do for their own contest. We'll definitely do it next time.
