Maybe it's a typo and it's meant to be "day of release it's coming" which might make more sense.

With the rise of social media, marketing in the near future will be the profession of teasers and misdirectors.

You guys are lapping this shit up and he hasn't even said anything official yet. It's all a very well controlled act designed for hype.

If you really want to know his secret, stop caring. He will have no other option but be forced to tell you in a last ditch effort to raise awareness.

I love me some suspense.

Gives some nice time for theories to outgrow realities too.

Day[9] will be joining EG as a coach/promoter, and will be getting a full-time job casting intel's new ISL (International/intel, since global was taken) tournament which will occur every other month, and be a part of a new gaming network that will be made available online where viewers can buy commercial-free time, team swag, and intel products through on-screen popups.

Honestly though, after watching the GSTL last night on the heels of the superbowl, I feel far more comfortable saying that the edge of my seat saw more action, and several chat boxes saw a lot more spam during the first three or so oGs/IM games than Superbowl Sunday did.

If what iNcontrol is promoting/talk... not talking about is half as big as it sounds like it could be for e-sports, I'm super excited.

Really? Because I don't understand the first thing about american football, but the GSTL games were pretty poor. Maybe oGs/IM was better, I didn't see most of it.

IT MUST BE A SECRET CODE

Take all the capital letters and it spells HNLTVYINSY. Which is the name of a Russian oligarch who is no doubt funding this venture. This is some real Da Vinci Code shit up in here.

Ok, so he's hinted at "JINRO" "IDRA" and "chris," which is evidently HuK. They are the three winners of the three MLG events we've had so far, that's how they're connected at least.

Obviously "day of leaders" builds into this as well, now the only thing left to figure out is... what are they doing, and why is it important?

The only thing I'm -really- stuck on is the 50. Is it 50 states? 50 weekly tournaments in the next year with Christmas and Independence Day off? 50 players in a tournament doesn't make much sense unless they're doing group stages and a seeded tournament.

My initial guess is that MLG is partnering up with some community members (namely JP since he works with them anyway, Geoff, and Gretorp) to host some kind of recurring event. Obviously Geoff wouldn't have MOVED to California unless his physical presence was required. This of course also makes me think that he will be on screen at some point.

Gosucoaching could have a large deal of involvement as well, but that remains to be seen. Hell, Day[9], Husky, and HD could all be involved as well, since they're in California already but I don't think Husky and HD would be this good at keeping secrets.

Imagine, if we figure out some kind of code, and it leads to his awesome American GSL thing. Then Incontrol announces it and we think its American GSL but it turns out its something less than that. I would be depressed tt. I think instead of trying to figure it out and being wrong then over hyping yourself. Just enjoy the hype Incontrol is throwing on it and wait and see :D

why do i think that this will end up being the first ever North-american based progaming house? It's just a guess but that seems more in the realm of possibilities. An announcement as big as basically saying that an entire North-american league is being set up to rival MLG (let's be honest, MLG is the final boss in NA esports tournaments right now) seems way above the paygrade of one professional starcraft 2 player.
A north-american EG / foreigner progaming house in California on the other hand seems like something that is very believable. Probably why Incontrol moved to California already, to set up the house and everything before the team moves in.

That is just my theory though.
