Not a fan of IGN (anymore). But more tournaments are always welcome!

Let's hope IGN will look further than just a few youtube channels, but probably they won't. :/

Interesting.

Out of curiosity though, can someone explain why this thread became front page news here considering the only article he cited as a source (when that occurred) was posted here by evoli and that thread was locked immediately by an admin for not "having enough facts?"
It would seem to me evoli was treated unfairly since he broke the story first, just like he did with the NASL :/


obviously you haven't read the thread but just to clarify once more, i am citing an anonymous source. evoli is working within ign is really not related to this report. evoli is not being treated unfairly at all nor, for the most part, was he during the nasl story which he did break. evoli is doing quite nicely now as far as i can tell

a tourney by Rupert Murdock is as real as it gets. this guy is flowing with cash. even if sc2 makes him zero money he still has a few billion. and unlimited money flow. and this guy knows broadcast, since many of his business is based on broadcast.

this guy can be bigger than kespa himself if he wanted to.

if he wanted publicity he can in one flip of a second have commercials of his league on his many TV stations and internet web sites.

This has me nervous. I think what we need right now is 1-2 big American leagues to get things started, and perhaps branch out later. If we start with a plurality of leagues, it will become a fad and burn out very quickly.

2 American leagues will be so awesome. Hopefully the vods will be free if they know what they are doing...Unlike GOM

So will we get to see the creation of an NAeSPA? Is that kind of association needed?

Like OP says, when it rains it pours. I've got to wonder how scheduling's going to work, and if players are going to be forced to choose between participating in GSL, NASL, IPL, GCPL, and whatever else starts popping up.

That said, I hope IPL wins, because team leagues are the best leagues

From the sound of it it doesn't sound like a proleague but more as an OSL/MSL thing, which is a pity since I <3 team leagues.

That's my biggest fear too. North Americans have the attention span of goldfish. So many fads are born and die in the blink of an eye (WWE, UFC, Poker etc.)

Don't want to be a bitch, but most of those players (with few exceptions) do not deserve such a high prize pool for the amount of efforts to put in the game....I mean, is the list even remotely serious?
The NASL looks a lot more interesting, done by a bunch of people who actually knows the community.

That IGN league made entirely of NA players is a joke.

I really wish that there weren't so many people invited just because they are popular @_@. Should be qualifiers

Definitely think it should be a team league... then it's not directly competing with NASL/MLG... it'd be in a league of its own! (pun so intended)

It seems to many NA tournaments are invitational. there should be more qualifier based ones. especially for big tourneys with large prize pool.

IGN is a NA company and the players they selected are the top players in NA. Sure not every top player was included but don't try to diminish the talent of the players that were. To grow esports in America, American players have to be involved or it will never work for a long list of reasons.
