the point of the focus groups is to improve, not to show off. i'd imagine Day9 picked the focus players because they have particular issues to address, not because he is biased towards them. | ||

Look at NASCAR. Coca Cola sponsors a race but Jeff Gordon, who is sponsored by Pepsi still gets to race in it. Red Bull knows by having EG players come in, more people will watch. More people watching is only good for Red Bull. EG knows by sending their players to this LAN, not only will they get great practice, but their sponsors, including Monster will be on the stream. MLG is sponsored by NOS, yet we still see that Monster logo on stage a good bit at the tournament. Why? Because its actually beneficial to all. | ||

 I do have one big suggestion: Last time you had to communicate with players via typing and just the commentators were able to talk during the games. It would make for a much more interesting production if you had the ability to bring the players in and out of the conversation during the games via a voice coms program or something. | ||

Where as its named the Red Bull lan the EG players can still wear their shirts. Giving publicity to their sponsors. Its a place for them to improve their game and have a unique practice environment. | ||
