it's super unfair and going to end up in blatantly obvious results. Bigger states/provinces are going to have all GM's on their team. Smaller ones are going to have 0/1.

Not worth it.

Why would that have to be the case? Sweden has less population that a single large American city yet is considerably ahead of the entire United States when it comes to Starcraft, despite having 2% of the population.

The population of Sweden has dozens of GM players

The population of Iowa has 2(?)

Seeing the difference yet?

There will definitely be skill disparity, and we can't avoid that. Take a look at other leagues too, there are always going to be top-tier contenders and bottom-feeders. CSL does very well even with a big skill gap, and people enjoy playing for fun as well. I hope that this isn't a serious issue ^^

Not sure what your example is suppose to add. Of course some states will be worse and some will be better. However, it doesn't have to be because of population. For if that was the case, the United States would have fifty times as many good players as Sweden.

Compare Iowa to the biggest state and it has roughly 10% the population. So if Sweden can beat the US with 2% the population, Iowa sure can beat the biggest state with 10% the population.

You could even it out by combining it in to regions. This serves two purposes:

1) evens out the population discrepancy
2) increases the skill level of the games, and even if the population isn't totally evened out the fact that the populations will be so much bigger it won't be as big of a deal (which is what Paladia is missing)

It'll also make it easier to manage for a league that doesn't appear to have much support yet etc.etc.

Update 2: Made a change to the regular season format. Teams will now play a best-of-7 series, with the 7th set being the Ace match. Also updated some rules that people brought up regarding team houses and current residency.

- Players must be currently residing in their respective Province or State. Players that are attending schools in a different area, or are on long-term work permits, must play for the Province or State they are currently studying / working in.
ie. If you live in New York, and you go to Stanford University, you must play for California for the duration of the degree.

- A maximum number of 3 players from the team house can be fielded in a given series.

I'm confused. So if we're somewhere else at university, we would play for the State we live in, not study in, right?>

Hmm I guess I should word it better. Say you live in New York, but you attend Stanford University and you live near the campus, then you play for California. Basically, you play for wherever you're currently living in. Sorry for the confusion
