And instead of hating on the company, let's try and be positive- Maybe they're doing something good. Just because a company does a lot of crappy things doesn't mean you have to hate everything it does. | ||

But I guess this is what's gonna happen if Starcraft 2 is gonna get big. In fact, it already has, it's happened guys. Starcraft 2 is going to be huge this year. And hopefully it'll last too. I hope everyone knows what kind of an evil person he is. He owns so much of the media its nearly impossible to know whether or not you're funding his corporate hydra of doom. I will literally never watch one game from this league because every time I see an ad his empire makes money. | ||

Well that's false. TSL 3 did the same thing. They announced the korean invites separately. Remember needing to tune in each sat to get the tsl invites? Remember needing to tune in to the bracket announcement? Remember still needing to tune in to find out the schedule of what games will be aired as they only announce those at the end of each sunday? TSL 3 did just as much milking with their announcements as NASL or IGN are doing. | ||

This might be the best thing for Starcraft as an e-Sport; better than TV coverage even. If you think about it pushing it on mainstream television consumers will result in low chance of success. But, by putting it in a bigger market of gamers (console, PC, handheld, etc.) there is a much bigger chance of success. Advertising can be niche specific. This is a win for the community. The only thing better that I could think of is putting matches on the Xbox Live Network. | ||

They have higher access to legitimate advertising and will 9hopefully) put this proleague in front of potentially hundreds of thousands of gamers, many of whom have never seen a pro caliber match before.

What you say about TV is very, very true, and something that mindless "lets go mainstream" people seem to overlook. I still hold plenty of reservations about this whole thing though. | ||
