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 I think IGN will be more of a advertisement based model as they have so many advertisers for their site already + all the connections through their parent company, id assume its probably going to be completely free with advertisements its something IGN could defenetly do. | ||

Looks like this isnt an announcement, but a leak. (Im seriously fed up of announcements of announcements too, letting people run away with their imagination isnt such a good idea, they just end up being disappointed) | ||

CGS... with CS: Source and some shitty Xbox games, and playboy bunnies, and horrible corny team names, faux-drama, even more hype than this (although it's early days for this one)... the list of flaws CGS had is pretty long. Maybe they learned something this time around? | ||

I don't see this affecting much of anything since the market is young gamers who don't care about liberal vs conservative politics. | ||

Still really cool to see someone as big as IGN hosting a pretty big league though. And a team league at that, team leagues are awesome, and we don't have one right now. | ||

It will probably be online, but at least this will be in the right direction for SC2 scene in NA. | ||

I remember that they fined CS some players several thousand dollars for playing CS 1.6 at a small LAN tournament. | ||

'And Giggs lays it off to Rooney' etc. Shit, i'm worried now. | ||
