You need to note incontrol didn't deny it was a tournament!

after listening to SToG last week, i feel like its a big north american GSL equivalent tourney, ie. more than just a weekend tourney like MLG.
as far as the 9th thing goes though, based on InControl and IdrA's comments, I would say that they are going to make the announcement on the 9th, so maybe they break the news a few hours early on SToG, lets hope!

Whatever this is, I think they have to know that they are hyping it up to a ridiculous height. It would literally have to be one of the biggest announcements in Western E-Sports to date to live up to everyone's expectations. I don't put it past these guys to have done something really, really awesome.

Almost certain that the number 9 refers to Day[9]; which, if it is a tournament, probably means that he will be the caster. I think this would be the most logical choice on the planet for a huge western tournament to make. Sean is THE guy in SC2 right now, and he is probably the most dedicated man on a mission I've ever seen.

I wish I could be a part.

most boring reality show ever.. put all the star players in one house, big brother cameras in all corners of the rooms, and watch them wake up at 8am every day, grab some cereal, head back to the computer and stare at a crt moniter for 7 hours. grab lunch and back to the computer. oh its 2 am in the morning, walk 4 feet to bed and fall asleep. repeat 6 days a week. umm yeah...

No, I kid I kid. I'm only a little ticked because his ploy to get people excited is so plainly working on me. This really better live up to it!

I dont know why you would assume it would be like that?

Heres a few concepts for a reality show around SC that could work.

1) The thing I mentioned earlier, teaching Daniel Negranu to play SC2. Sure its not what we're all hoping for - but all of us would watch it.

2) Take a few top players and follow them as they train AND travel to tournaments (then add in alot of fake drama as they do in all other reality shows. One week someone's girlfriend wants him to quit gaming, next week another player is considering qutting the game etc. Always a sidestory or two per episode.

3) They partner up with MLG - and follow some of the key players/persons around it. Like day9, JP, InControl, tyler and other likeable guys.

4) Create a new tournament, keep the results hidden from the public. full casted games. not really a reality TV concept, but in order for the casual viewers to care about the players they would need to have some type of RealityTVesque segments.

Didn't JP say on SoTG that he didn't think the reveal (which he has been told) wasn't that big of a deal? Or that he thought incontrol was blowing it out of proportion?

Dude he's going insane with the tweets

And don't be so sure about 50 states as much as 50,000 dollar 1st place prize, since it is Intel, and he was saying it'd rival GSL (technically 50k pretax is more than the current GSL, although taxes rape that since GSL prize money is straight no tax). And he was talking aobut it rivaling GSL before MLG's 50k announcement.
