Isn't this gonna be the sponsor for the NASL then? Didn't many well known players, casters and people visit the IGN office. And the NASL hasn't said who their sponsor is?
I don't know, I'm just guessing because I'd find it hard to believe two similar leagues get started around the same time instead of it being a collaboration.

It's the end of the world as we know it. The Mayans were right.

HOLY SHIT.... E-sports in the west is indeed blowing up... Although I don't really like IGN, this is good for the community anyways.

They are sponsoring a league. Which means this probably means they are sponsoring NASL. I think some of the NASL guys have been visiting IGN studios if I'm not mistaken (although I could be).

Still cool though!

No, I believe evoli made an article stating that what IGN had in plan was separate form NASL

Makes sense that they'd be getting involved given the photos that came out of the meeting IGN recently had. I don't think they would've flew players out to SF for a meeting if it was just to give information about the HD tournament they & justin.tv are sponsoring.

Though I'm not really a fan of IGN, it'll be interesting to see how it's handled in contrast to the way some of the other NA leagues have been handled.

Damn there must be a lot of money in SCII for all of these new leagues to think there is enough reason for them to make such huge prize pools.

Im thinking that these guys are sponsoring NASL. The timing seems a little to convienent and since nasl havn't announced their sponsors yet thats my bet.
Some people hurt people. I defenestrate those people.

wow, I don't know what to say, but all these leagues really adds up. How many seasons and/or what time frame would that 150k be spread across?

No, evoli at sixjaxgaming said it had nothing to do with NASL.

Here's the IGN Proleague website:

Edit: Some cached stuff from the IGN Proleague website dated March 18th. Doesn't tell much but there's something with ROOT Gaming involved.

wowowow, so much stuff going on in the SC2 world, this is GREAT. IGN is easily the most mainstream gaming website and this makes it one step closer for SC2 to be mainstream as well.

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.
