Masquelier said that the partnership will involve hosting regional championship events in different countries and boosting awareness of the league's brand through merchandise, licenses, prize money and online subscriptions. He said players in the league would gather points to try to improve their worldwide ranking. These rankings will "drive the business," he added. official announcement will be in about 25 minutes, so lets wait  | ||

To quote the MLG site: Doesn't really sound to me like there will be any European MLG events any time soon, but more that the US events will be advertised in Europe. From MLG themselves The partners will work together to host regional championship events around the globe, identify new talent and expand the brand partnership platform to establish competitive gaming as a preeminent sport worldwide. | ||

I think the market is big enough for both of them. ESL is way more focused on online competitions than MLG is (at least in SC2, no clue if MLG has big online leagues for other games), so they wouldn't compete entirely for the same market. | ||

I think Sweden is the place it will end up when they say scandinavia. Nonetheless, MLG expanding to Europe overall it's great. Having an event as close as Sweden is even better.. :D So much news on the Esport front lately.. EXPLOSIOOON!! | ||

But seriously do you feel ESL has hit market saturation that competition would hurt their business model. I think the opposite. Any and all initiative to bring (off-line) quality competitive gaming tournaments to the masses will benefit both organizations and with a bit of communication and common sense they can easily make sure they don't "hurt" each other while planning their respective events. Note that most professional competitive sports started out with different leagues that once market saturation was obtained has to join forces (or be push out) in order to grow further, but we are nowhere near that scenario yet. + try and think positive, e-Sports is going global! WHOOHOOW! | ||
