My supervisor told me that Shurelia, Phreak, Rinoa and a few others have done way worse then me. He's still not sure why my new manager fired me but he thinks it's because they are trying to spin it to make the new tribunal system look that much more appeasing. *shrug* That's just how it goes. He said I could have the job back in 6 months if I want it. I dunno. We'll see. I might just end up going back to school. As for trying to get a job somewhere else in the gaming industry, unless I go under a false name, it's basically dead.

Our competitive scene is massive and tournament have extended into the WCG, ESL, and even on the reddit sub forum thanks to the support of Nick and goggris and many others.
I can speak more specifically to our competitive scene , since I'm directly involved with that, but I can easily say that you can expect constant improvements to League of Legends and many more high competitive events in 2011.

Can I actually expect to see these events promoted in the slightest? Newegg and CEVO were disasters as far as coverage is concerned, and those two have been some of the biggest tournaments around. Why is it that I can hear more about a random LoL fan site's small 16-man tourney than I can about one of the biggest LoL tournaments around? I don't understand how a plan to make LoL competitive can ignore promoting competitive events.

Yes, we are approaching that problem from two fronts:
(1) Stronger promotional relationships with larger organizations such as Alienware, ESL, WCG, etc. You will see more news announcements in the manner that Alienware and WCG.
One of the reasons that we hold back pushing an event is that I receive an equal amount of flaming for promoting something bad as I do for not promoting something good. There is a certain quality control that we need to perform before pushing something to our entire audience. Right now there are a lot of eSports organizations that don't understand our community. We are working with them more closely to fit in with our standards.
(2) We are also working on improving how we deliver messaging specifically for the competitive player. The start of this was the competitive forum section. There are improvements that will come on this front as well.
