Thats not bad at all i look forward to season 2 after the open qualifiers. Im interested to see weather the open qualifiers will be completely international or not (as in including korea :D) | ||

I don't see why tourneys think that having a very good analytical will send people who are new away from the tourny, from my experience that's what got a lot of my friends into sc2. Keeping it at a low level really doesn't appeal to anyone who takes the game seriously imo. Non-players do not take the game seriously and play-by-play is what the majority of not only eSports but also real sports spectators watch for. The idea that analysis is the be-all and end-all of commentary is an attitude that exists almost exclusively on TL and nowhere else. If you want to bring in new people into the scene by exploiting a vast opportunity to market on one of the biggest gaming networks there is, you will use casters with proven mainstream appeal and the ability to pull big VoD numbers on a reliable basis. Sports would not be where it is today, the multi-billion dollar industry, without an army of millions of casual viewers. eSports will not grow without getting it's own casual army either. | ||

A: All games will be cast. Q: Will there be an organized VOD list like the GSL or is it justin.tv stream only? A: As of right now, the plan is there will be links from the bracket to each VOD. | ||

Maybe they want to see what type of response they get from the grass roots community before they go public on it or maybe they're not fully willing to commit to it with out good results from a first season. | ||

We were mentioned in today's Daily Fix, but keep in mind that IGN is a huge site and we're just one part of it. Be assured though that many people at IGN are aware of this and are very excited!

I agree but you also can't scrape aside the people that made the community what it is today to only appeal to the mainstream, and it's not exclusive to the TL community i.e. CS 1.6 - CS:S, Quake and WoW. | ||

Dear people of the internet, You cannot have casted games, and show them live. If you cast games live on the internet as they are happening, the players (who are going to be playing from home) can just log on the stream and stare at exactly what their opponent is doing. "But they would never do such a thing!" LOL. Ok I challenge you to a live match where the winner gets 5-$100,000, and there will be a stream of the event as well as casters saying exactly what I am doing... YOU WOULD BE RETARDED to not get on that stream with another screen and take that insane amount of cash. That's your livelihood man. You have to stream replays because its the only way to battle the cheating that would take place. People cheated like this throughout the entire beta in live cast online tournaments. This is why they cant provide live matches, where money is involved. Thanks for your time, A person who is sick of this same complaint. | ||

You can easily do it live with a delay, it's the commonday practice for League of Legends. | ||
