This is why announcements of announcements need to stop, TeamLiquid didn't announce shit about TSL until THEY ANNOUNCED IT and that kept all the hype and excitement balled up for when it was out.

This team league is incredible! Korea hasn't even established a team league yet (GSTL is more like a team tournament, not seasonal league), and I think foreigners can finally set a precedent! Tbh, I think proleague is a bit more exciting, or at least refreshing, than individual tournaments like MSL or OSL, and I was sad there hadn't been a proleague for SC2 yet. I liked the GCPL a lot, but it just didn't feel that serious and there wasn't as much hype around it.

Also, IGN is huge! Can't think of a better organization to have done this.

Yea i agree GCPL didnt really feel that serious =( i wish that it did, but it felt kind of amateurish i watched the finals and on a few other occasions , but it all just seemed really casual. If they could mix the competiveness of the GSTL with a seasonal team league format (wich is im sure what they are trying to do) this could be a huge deal. Also im wondering if they are planning on doing it online or offline (obviously online makes the most sense) but it would be interesting to see how many teams they could attract for an offline league say the prize pool was 100-150k every month or so (they didnt specify on that) i mean that is comparable to the GSL and foreigners travel there, i want to see someone attempt an offline league sooner or later and see how it does :D offline leagues are just infinitely more interesting to me.

I can see it now

IGN's proleague becomes North America's premier team league

IGN also sponsors NASL, which becomes the premier individual league for NA

How big is the market for e-sports excluding Korea? One or two thousands committed viewers worldwide and less than a million if you add all the very casual viewers? I have to agree with 'fams', there is no way this business model is going to be sustainable with so many competing events at the same time. NASL, MLG, IGN new league, IEM, Assembly and the GSL are all trying to catch the same small niche market. Of course, this is a speculative business and everybody is betting on the growth of the market for e-sports, but how long does it gonna take? Who's going to have the financial back-up to have several seasons in the red as it is going to probably happen? I would love to see a post on the viewer-ship of SC2, the estimated costs of running a tournaments (prizes + one/two full-timers + casting equipment) and the income sources. Frankly,

I almost wish MLG would be the main league based in NA and ESL be the main league based in Europe ... and instead of having all these new leagues trying to start up with huge hype, they would invest more money in MLG and ESL since they already have a solid foundation.

So, nobody sees Rupert Murdoch's name involved with esports again as a bad thing?

I wonder if they're going to charge for VODs. I don't think the market can sustain three different leagues all charging for VODs, and if their business model requires it then it would be bad

The friction between a member of Fnatic and an IGN employee, do you think that may have to do with the NASL? as i know some people from fnatic are involved with the NASL

But at least TSL 3 led to just new years, so speculation and leaks about weren't BEGGING to happen.

I just want these leaks to show that these companies need to keep their hype up for one big announcement, GSL did it at first, TSL3 did it well.

announcements of announcements are a safe way of testing the waters to see how eager the market remains, unfortunately the more we see people interested in taking SC2 further the more we will have to wait through tentative news articles
