Of course you won't get the best players in every tournament, no matter how big the prize pool is - there are just way too many different organisers (I mean, loads of events is great, but it has its downsides). It's like a week after MLG, and there's probably GSTL running at the same time..it's either a huge expense for teams to send over their players to more than one event every so often, and it is also a massive strain for players to compete in all these huge tournaments in a row. I mean, you're either going to attend DreamHack, or you will prepare for GSTL, it's either or. I love it that there are so many events, its good for the progamers | ||

Dreamhack Stockholm, together with IPL 4, had the most viewers of any SC2 tournament this year! Even the kinda boring first day had more viewers than Red Bull Battlegrounds all weekend. But overall they had more viewers than all the IEMs, HSC, Assembly, Red Bull Lan, Lone Star Clash. No idea about MLG Winter Championship though, but I don't think they get that much more viewers either (why else hide them numbers?) | ||

We only need be 1 major tournament in US and 1 major tournament in Korea. And New York is probably a great place to hold the US tournament. And the US and Korea tournament holders should join force to promote unity. That way they can control everything and make sure things are going smoothly. They should even charge people to watch to guarantee high quality tournaments. Because Sundance GETS IT. He's the voice of E-Sports, and he listens to the community. I love Sundance. | ||

He's the voice of E-Sports, and he listens to the community. I love Sundance. I'm not defending anyone, but unfortunately, eSports can't always be just what the community wants. At the end of the day, the viability of an eSports still depends on cold, hard cash, so actually going about eSports with business, and at some point, profitability in mind, will secure its stability, and is great for the long term. Obviously, having loads of tournaments offering mountains of cash is great, but one has to be careful that it is not unsustainable. You can't expect a dozen huge events each month, with all the best players participating at each, that was my point. Teams have limited budgets to send their players around the world (which can be extremely costly), players have limited time and stamina, etc. | ||
