Remember to spread the word about things like this as much as possible. The more viewers these events attract, the more likely they are to become regular events.

The idea of a true western progamer is starting to seem like reality.

Wait so now there is NASL, IGNProleague, MLG, plus all the smaller tournaments and online tournaments? Can you really sustain such an expansive competitive scene while competeing with Tournaments in Europe and Korea for the pro gamer's attention? There are only so many pro's and so many days in the year. Even with a huge movement to organize schedules around one another, it seems like its going to get kinda stuffy. Especially considering how relatively small and unorganized the foreign scene has been up until this point.

You would need some kind of umbrella organization. A VESPA, or SEXESPA. I something along those lines. And that never came back to hurt anyone.

I really do hope that this is a team league as it would be something different. But even if its another individual league, its still pretty fucking awesome. In sc2 the same players can play in multiple leagues (as long as leagues work together so they don't conflict, which they seem to be doing ie MLG and NASL). So when you compare it to other sports like basketball and baseball its not really possible.

IGN is HUGE. Having them behind a pro league is exactly what is needed. I hope they make it completely free to watch as they are big enough where they can get tons of ad revenue from something like this.

NASL seems pretty disorganized right now. IGN could straighten a lot out.
The least of which being a half-decent website.

BW has the OSL, the MSL and the proleague going on at the same time so it should be fine.
If this is really a proleague, I think Im even more excited for this than for NASL.

It has to be a team league cause that's the only thing the foreign scene is missing at the moment and will be the one thing that will make it unique. However, I don't see a way to make it anything other than an online league unless you only want to include NA teams cause I doubt you could get everyone from teams around the world live on location for anything more than a 1 week tourney at max. Would just be too expensive for teams to fly all their players over and stay long term.

Merging would be a good idea. Expand the amount of players who can participate, pool resources for broadcasting and production, not to mention pool the prize money. Pros wouldn't need to pick one or the other, which would only exacerbate issues like Jinro's where he can't just pick up and leave the GSL without losing his spot kind of thing.

Honestly, competition is a good thing! Having more leagues can help the e-sports scene. If it can be sustained financially, I'm all for having choice.

Or they could just have two separate leagues... competition will make both of them better; I have a feeling in particular though, IGN being a solid business will already have a polished tournament and NASL will yeah indeed suffer some competition. I'm willing to bet NASL was the tipping point that made IGN be like, "ok, it's go time" and GSL was what made them at least acknowledge SC2 as a potential means to ad-revenue.

Too many leagues now. These companies should get together and sponsor a larger league or multiple seasons of one, but having 3+ major leagues is a bit silly.

I can't really think of one legitimate sport that has leagues upon leagues.


i think the worlds most popular sport, soccer, is a legitimate sport that has several leagues
