She going to interview everyone on skype? Thats a possibility. Also remember that they plan on doing little sports center type shows too, maybe she is hosting those. | ||

Anyone remember IEM when MorroW and IdrA came out onto the stage with Razer girls? To me it just looked weird and awkward haha. ![[image loading]](http://www.fragster.de/de/esport/coverages/assembly-lan/winter-2011/bilder/morrow-iem-englisch.png) this picture made my day. | ||

Similar to the Jinro/Idra Showmatch to announce the NASL. HD tournament is supposed to be finished before the end of March, so it seems more likely that IGN will be an advertised sponsor for NASL | ||

She going to interview everyone on skype? No clue, she already seems to be interviewing some of the people apart of the Starcraft 2 community and who knows? I have no idea what they plan to do, but this whole thing corresponding to her special project and her obviously being in those pictures suggests something. Maybe she'll show up when they have an actual location for the tournament. I mean look at the GSL, they have a good looking and probably relatively articulate woman (don't speak Korean) as the face of their broadcasting team for a reason. Even though I doubt Chobot keeps in touch with SC2 and would become a full time commentator. Having her do interviews (however they manage it) and be at the actual "lan" event wouldn't be a bad idea at all. She's good at interviewing, is good looking, articulate and obviously enjoys gaming. | ||

Or it could be something with NASL. But why would guys from ROOT, HD, Painuser and others be there for that? | ||

It could help explain why Geoff and company were so hesitant to answer the question "where did the money come from". Perhaps the $400,000 is spread across a number of contributors who will be revealed over time. IGN and Blizzard would definitely help make such a grand initial sum for the NASL understandable. A bit less shocking then a very confident investment from an entrepreneur. | ||

If you guys checked IGN lately, they have also posted a couple of SC2 pro-tips videos, which is why assume some of the players are there for. HD's tournament should be done by then. | ||
