Doesn't seem that hard to convince teams with that kind of money although it may be hard to convince valve XD | ||

Its not like the system of a bunch of minor leagues all scraping for teams doesn't have huge flaws. One of being played in a couple of hours by EG. i mean i'm pretty sure everybody involved in the MLG tournament are happy with their free money (possible exception: MLG itself) | ||

EDIT: I mean a deal like this would absolutely not work in Dota, so there really isn't much of a point in comparing the two. Although I really wouldn't like to see it due to the fact that something like this would effectively kill off The Summit and pretty much all cross participation between China, SEA, and the west. | ||

And it does make the teams more stable as well. We will see how the community responds. I am sure there will be some reddit hand wringing and anger, but it might be better for the scene in the long run. | ||
