Very insightful episode, similar to The Executives in terms of content. It seems that the financial situation of the scene is surprisingly bad actually, a few outliers notwithstanding. I'm also curious whether there's any difference between the European and the US scene, in terms of organizational structure/financial situation of teams, etc. Maybe you can get a representative from that scene on some time. | ||

I’d say the EU scene has more options when it comes to low cost of living for team houses. I’m not sure about the flight costs but the tournaments in EU seem to offer enough so that there isn’t such pressure to compete in America. It’s only fair to mention WCS as a support to various regions of the world. Disregarding its imperfections, WCS has a really good prize money distribution, as opposed to the Dota 2 International. The idea of teams competing for sponsors is very interesting. Right now most teams, tournaments and leagues are trying to operate on their own. It would require all of them to pool their sponsors so that they could create a league where participation is paid for and the prize money is well distributed. This should be possible in Korea but I get the feeling that GSL isn’t rewarding the teams enough, rather just the top place finishers. And what is this Code B anyway? I can’t find any information about it. Considering monetisation, I think of it as the change from a community to an industry. I’m not even sure if it’s a good idea to grow job opportunities in entertainment sector because the global economy isn’t in a good shape. I don’t know much about the skill sets and qualifications of the members of our community (for example I myself don’t have much to offer as my focus is the English language) but it would be beneficial for esports if most people settled for a “regular” job and then spent money on esports in order to increase the cash flow. On a side note, EG has developed a reputation as being rich which inflates the value of players such as Stephano or HuK. It might be better to pay more people a reasonable amount of money rather than a few super stars but I must admit EG is doing a lot for the community anyway – the tournaments are the next logical step for such organisation. | ||

dizzy, Michael O'Dell (DignitasOdee) is tentatively scheduled to be on Tuesday so that is definitely one thing we will be talking about. | ||
