It looks more and more like we're going to have a "war" between IPL and MLG, and it's not good for the scene .. competition is FANTASTIC for the scene. Competition forces leagues to improve and grow, if everyone is doing just as good as each other, there's no motivation to improve beyond greed. | ||

Having two distinct leagues where players cant compete in each other tournaments doesnt seem that great. | ||

There is no competing if they are the only foreign tournament that will ever have Flash Bisu Jaedong and Stork at it. | ||

Im for sure not going to. MLG wants to grow esports, but they also are a business with the goal of making money, and getting an exclusive contract for these players looks like it could give them a leg up over other leagues | ||

The idea of this is to limit competition by eliminating the competing head line tournaments, or at least their prominence.. i hope this ends up well >.< | ||
