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

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.

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.

For TSL1 we had a 3 week long countdown timer :D . But yes i agree, announcements of announcements need to stop.


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?

Liberals hate him because of Fox News. I don't see this affecting much of anything since the market is young gamers who don't care about liberal vs conservative politics.

So much starcraft to follow. No idea how I'm going to be able to keep up with the TSL, GSL, GSTL, and million other small tournaments a day.

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.

Well, this is gonna be played in a LAN setting or Online?

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

Ok I didn't know that he was involved, but I doubt he was involved directly with the stuff that went wrong.

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

I remember that. Didn't they used to play FIFA and have commentators who would pretend it was a real game? 'And Giggs lays it off to Rooney' etc.

Shit, i'm worried now.
