More interestingly, would the guy who plays most casually be the winner of such a tournament? | ||

Dont understand why it would be any different. Its the same stream? Mine is working fine on 720p. No lag. Volume is bit low but i can hear well enough. | ||

Furthermore he seems like someone that could definately contribute to the discussion Because he properly declined to come. I've shamefully taken this from reddit on a question on why Riot and Valve isn't there, but I applies to why a person like Nazgul is not there: This is a first time thing, and since we're doing this more out of passion of eSports and not because we have another million dollar to spend, we have to limit the number of participants. Alot of important people is missing. This is the first round of people we present and additional people will follow. It's also a open Congress where everyone can take part, you, Valve and RIOT. We will not disclose what companies or organisation we have invited directly. We just hope that this is the start of something that will bring people together and make eSports bigger in the long run. | ||

Could see an argument for not taking organisations which aren't more multi-game. Lots of LoL teams aren't represented too if you want to discuss big eSports organisations... | ||

I don't know how realistic it would be, but can't Blizzard find a better way to monetize the tournament scene (charge higher fee for license/concentrate on merchandising). Granted the last WCG EU generated great viewership, but how long can SC2 sustain a high viewership to small playerbase ratio? I feel that not adapting to the F2P market is going to hit Blizzard really hard soon. Unless HOTS somehow recaptures the magic/luck of BW's gameplay and balance, SC2 needs to expand the scene. Going F2P will bring in China and we all saw what they did in terms of viewership with TI2 and several years of WC3. | ||
