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

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. | ||

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. | ||

The least of which being a half-decent website. 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. | ||

The least of which being a half-decent website. 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. tldr: FUCKINGSTOKED | ||

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 | ||
