Honestly while i think this could be fun, i would rather see something similar to a "Code A" like tournament.
Didn't even think of this, but that woulda been huge if this was started years ago as a way to help give GM players and semi-pros a path to climb their way into Code S. Really too bad that GSL had to keep shrinking and the player pool became so stagnant.
But, stuff like RSL has a huge future. In the early years of SC2, there was many independent leagues forming and there was healthy competition. Then Blizz came in and tried to unify everything with WCS, but that killed off all the 'grassroots' aspect of the scene.
Perhaps this can be the exciting comeback of independently held, grassroots tournaments. This will be a huge experiment for sure and if successful, could lead to a long lasting future for SC2.
Honestly, pretty surprised so many ppl are willing to pay for something that won't deliver a product until mid June. I wonder if there will be a significant sub drop in month two from ppl who didn't read the fine print initially and are wondering where their StarCraft is.
I'm VERY surprised to find barely any high profile names signed up for the Americas server qualifier. I mean yeah it is America server but it's open to anyone. eu and kr regularly play on this server in weeklies especially if they vs each other and in later rounds like if it were kr vs kr or eu vs eu you are allowed to play on another server if you both agree. I feel like it can't just be cuz of lag. Did no one tell them when the qualifiers were?
Player base only get affected by the updates as you can see in this curve
i m only saying that money would be more effective for updates than if the money goes for crowfunding. And even if it s true people dislike when you recall them to reality.

Old game drops players over time? Totally shocked
Honestly, if these figures are legit, which I don't know, they are even better than I expected, relatively speaking. According to the diagram, SC2 still has roughly a third of its player base compared to its peak in the past ten years, which is not that bad for a game with zero publisher support.
