There are some random online cups out there with quiet a lot of players so I'm sure something more serious and official coming out from TL would be even more attractive to most players.

Just get the word out there and people will come.

Yeah, I think as long as someone was willing to put in the time, players would show up. The hard part would be the time investment and dealing with forfeits and other bullshit like that.

I think liquid should have capitalized on it's 'liquid community' aspect when LD first broke away from TL. They already had a section in the IXDL client for TL to have some organization and a strong reputation in competitive gaming. They could have dedicated more time and resources to have a 'community' based in house league. It could have had leader boards displayed on the side bar and small prizes during 'ladder' seasons, aka TL t-shirts for top 3 etc.

It would not be SKILLED based in the sense that the requirement to play and participate would be indicative of your skill (mmr entry barrier) but more of, all are welcome so long as everyone is kind. They could have taken a hard line approach with rules about flaming, abandoning, and general ass-hatery and really built something nice.

I imagine a fun, casual, no flaming, strictly monitored in house league for the dota community (not just TL) would have really grown during that time. Liquid already had the reputation of more quality posting, heavy moderation etc., I think that kind of thing would have been a breathe of fresh air to most in house leagues that are skill based and insanely obnoxious.

It's probably too late for that now, the fragmentation of the community to build stronger individual communities has certainly not panned out yet and there is little to nothing being done to actively build the LD community from the Staff. Maybe with enough time and dedication they could still pull something off but I wouldn't hold my breathe.

if I remember correctly from sc2 the TLOpen bracket was like automatic wasn't it? No need for admins unless a conflict was happening.
