The last event we did in Canada was in Toronto and I personally had a blast. My college roommate is from Toronto and it's a wonderful city. But its unlikely that we'd be back in the 2011 season. Not saying no, just saying its really unlikely. | ||

O_O On the second to last question I couldn't think of any other game I would want to watch at MLG other than SC2 though, LOL. On a related note, I know many people (myself included) would jump on the opportunity to volunteer to be some sort of MLG student ambassador at their local university; a large portion of gamers are students after all. Seems to me like a super cheap way to spread the word to your biggest demographic! | ||

If you wanted to get university communities involved, have you ever considered contacting or working with the CSL? It'd be pretty cool if you could do some kind of joint events or use MLG sponsored LAN centers for CSL matches. http://www.cstarleague.com/ I just think this would be really cool if it were viable. :p | ||

For those of you unfamiliar, EA hires students at colleges to be EA representatives. The reps hold events on and around college campuses regularly throughout the semester. Sometimes they just showcase a new game and raffle off games and other swag, sometimes they host competitions in for their games. It's a brilliant marketing strategy because a significant portion of the gamer demographic are college students. Universities are also ideal because they are one of the few places that have the infrastructure necessary to host gaming events. That's why I think that universities are an ideal place to start. You could get MLG volunteers to organize local tournaments on a semi-regular basis. You could have qualifiers for regional tournaments as increase the amount of exposure that MLG gets.

Have a pro give a free live "lesson" to someone in the audience while the audience watches. ie: The pro would pick someone (or randomly select) from the audience who would come up and play a match against a random person online (or another pro) (or another audience member) and the pro would watch them play and coach them during the game and review the game with them. I can see this being really fun and entertaining to watch. I got the idea from watching Day9 coach DJwheat live. You could even have 1 pro coach 1 amateur who faces another amateur being coached by a pro. There are alot of possibilities, but generally it ends up being very funny and informative at the same time. | ||
