And MLG hasn't even started, ditto for the 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.
Because that's when NASL starts?

What do you mean CGS-ize it?

Someone needs to clarify if this is a team league or a individual league. Either way, awesome!

I checked the same thing.

Hah, yeah. SC2 isn't like soccer where everybody is content to follow some international leagues as well as their national one. At a certain point you could get high profile SCII tourneys going on every hour of the day, and by then profits will be made, since people just can't logistically watch all of it unless they devote themselves to it.

This is huge for eSports exposure. Really pumped

Sc2 taking over the world

Team league would be awesome. Also with such a good prize pool players would have a lot more incentive to give it their all and teams to use their strongest rosters

if it is a Team League then this is the best thing that could happen to sc2 even better than nasl lol
|
Thats a bit much for leagues...which they'd consolidate to a effing huge league instead. I'm sure if $200k-$300k was on the line each tourney, American pros would develop a culture of getting nasty at the game since it can actually support your life.

Oh my heavens to bettsy!
This is going to be huge, and with it being IGN you know it'll be a really professional endeavour. I would dance around in joy if it was a team league, but I don't see how you can get the top teams together for any real stretch of time given global distribution.
Only hiccup I can see is the rules/regulations/administration side of things.

I guess a more apt description would be I hope they don't Sessler-ize it.
+ Show Spoiler +G4TV had Adam Sessler cast EVO last summer and he was absolutely terrible and sort of ruined the finals.
