That's one of the biggest reasons everyone says for the skill disparity. They live in a SC environment 24/7 in a team house, they train harder, think more, and get better quicker because of it. Hence why I said I'm all for team houses... | ||

It could be incredibly great, but it could also be a huge fiasco. Tonight's showmatch didn't give me much confidence, although it was a start. By the way, I'm sure it's explained somewhere, but who is sponsoring this? 400,000$ is an assload of money. I disagree. from that interview it felt like theres been a ton of planning, but the difficulty that lies ahead is the execution of these plans. Tonights show match was kind of like a test run. I'm sure they'll be improve significantly, but I do not doubt there will be issues ahead. as for the sponsor, it seems like its been funded by russ and duncan themselves. also read a post that said something about being insured by blizzard. i'd like to hear more about this myself. | ||

They'll go "huh, look at that, this Destiny guy seems pretty popular - let's see if he satisfies our standards and belongs to the 50 best applicants". Then they'll see that he's - not on a team - has no tournament wins - has had no significant presence at any LAN whatsoever - is not even in the Top 100 of his server Then they'll all have a hearty laugh and look at the guy with the next most votes. Fairly certain someone like Destiny (or Husky, or HD, or any other scene personality) could be ahead by 10,000 votes and wouldn't get invited. That's exactly what I was wondering. Thank you  | ||

He lives in Cali He is The biggest Scene contributor Casted at MULTIPLE sc Events Has a brother who casts Professionally in Korea Taking a year off to focus entirely on SC.. <--- or longer? unsure So my question here is. Why is he not going to be a featured caster. Its kind of like Having a boxer interview... without boxer. I would really really like to hear why he wasn't chosen. From him or someone else. | ||

You said yourself that there are issues for people playing outside of the US (latency, timezones, having to fly to the US for finals), and these would have a noticeable impact on their performance. While this format is definitely more open for 'foreigners' than the GSL, and I applaud you for that, it's still heavily catered for those in the US.For the record I think this is absolutely awesome, and wish you and the team all the best. Will definitely be getting a premium subscription. | ||

Wouldn't you be more excited for a league that caters to your countrymen? Sure Koreans are great at sc, but they also sit in an apartment and play it 12 hours a day as a job. Its a different culture, lets try to grow OUR esports culture. Not quite so military in our training, but still fun as hell to watch/follow. | ||

Hence the name, North American Star League Exactly my point. The line I was querying was where they said "The idea is to crown a world champion". | ||

However can you also understand from my perspective that seeing the biggest sc2 tourney is not going to be including day9 despite being from california and being more involved with the community then anyone else. It just seemed odd | ||

We have already said the tourney will be open to players from korea, europe, SA etc. Given the logistics we have we are proud to say that we are pursuing a world champion. If you want to contest that claim please look to the International Courts of The Internet or the ICI and make a claim that we are wrongfully creating an arbitrary title. Oh and when you are done stfu and enjoy the league | ||
