The live events for the four plus ESL, TSL, GSTL, Blizzcon and others are going to majorly clash. They're especially not going to have any good commentators. Day[9], Artosis, Tasteless, djWheat, JP and the other competent casters are already stretched. | ||

It won't get over saturated as long as they all do it a different way. If they all have the same players, in the same online format as NASL for example, then they are directly competing with each other and there is going to be a lot of overlap. Personally I would like to see more offline, or at the very least region specific leagues and tournaments. Like the GSTL is determining the best team in Korea, a big league for Teams in NA would be awesome. The GCPL was awesome for example, a bigger version with more prize money and thus a more competitive environment would be very welcome. | ||

I think if you tallied up all of the money from tournaments happening in NA it would rival or overcome GSL. That said it is very spread out between the countless cups, and handfuls of larger events like NASL, IPL, MLG, etc. Really its not that much of an outrageous statement. | ||

Edit: changed wordage Evoli was not the source, this is not Evoli's info. I love evoli but he is working with the league and is not the reason that I know it is a team league. I know it is a team league because my source says teams were contacted as opposed to individuals. Additionally: my source is saying there is no association between NASL and IGN, neither is sponsoring the other, evoli even mentioned the same thing in his thread, that the two are separate entities. This is pretty much happening as I stated it in the original article on SK Gaming. | ||

While, NASL has 400k for the year. 590k is less than 1.4 million, even if you add the smaller tournaments. Let's add in IGN's proleague of 150k. You still only have 740k. | ||

If you added the European tournaments, you might be right, but he was talking about just NA. | ||
