Guys they are clearly sponsoring NASL. The teaser pictures on IGN have inControl in them.

hen why do they have a countdown to 13 days from now? Possibly, but I would imagine if they were doing NASL they would be involved in player unveiling.

Ya, the proleague thing makes me think team league. And a big team league makes way more sense than another individual league. Also, most of the players at the event come from different teams:

EG: iNcontroL, Axslav
ROOT: Catz, Edward
Fnatic: TT1
Dignitas: SeleCT
LG: PainUser
FXO: Sheth
VT: Spades

The only major teams missing are European only teams and Liquid who may not have been able to send a representative. Of course there are a lot of other teams in NA (not trying to discredit all the other good teams in NA like coL, vVv, NrG, etc.), but these have the biggest names

This would be SOOOO good. IGN is freakin huge. If they advertise on their site (which they obviously will) thousands upon thousands of mainstream gamers will see real SC2 everyday. This is just one step closer to SC being a socially acceptable, mainstream 'sport,' . . . an eSport, if you will
Imagine if i had a REAL weapon

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.


lol BW? Proleague, MSL, OSL, and there used to be GOM.

More money is nice and all, but I'm looking more forward to see what kind of publicity the IGN league can get for the SC2 pro scene, especially considering that IGN is a top gaming site and has the potential to spread the gospel of ESPORTS to many more people.

If IGN were to hold a few big banners on their front page about the SC2 tournament, think of how many more views we could get. Perhaps some more journalism about the competitive scene even. With this huge amount of money, I expect a huge amount of more exposure to the masses.

Here's the IGN Proleague website:
http://www.ign.com/proleague

Huh to me it looks like it's counting down to April 4th, which is the first day of the NASL right?

So, are you sure IGN isn't NASL's sponsor?

So, is HD going to be the main caster of IGN's proleague? He was spotted at the recent get together at IGN's office.

Aside from my objections of us making an evil scumbag like Rupert Murdoch richer (although we do support Bobby Kotick), that's pretty huge news. I can only hope they don't CGS-ize it too much.
