I appreciate when industry leaders share a bit of insight into their operations, long term plans, and current view of things. It can be educational even if some people in the community spin it to something else. | ||

No disrespect to them, but it seems like those aren't the people that should be talking in this context. They are more face people, while this seems to be more about behind the scenes people, which is what you would hope for, so hopefully it will be quite in depth. Wheat/2GD/carmac probably have some understanding of things, but they aren't the guys who are running their respective shows in terms of bottom line and control, so not having them there isn't a bad thing. | ||

I think having some strong community members there would be a step in the right direction of ensuring some level ground as far as the discussions go, but then again I don't know what they are actually discussing. It was only a matter of time tho before someone began the steps toward this and while I think its a positive thing overall, hopefully we don't see everything get muddy because of it. | ||

this is going to be the equivalent of political conventions in other words, nothing of actual substance is going to be discussed. | ||

Right now we've got a bunch of guys who are either involved with the ownership of teams (players), to the guys who make money from the venue's all potentially discussing the future of a new sport where they can make more money. I understand it's about making money in business but this is already looking like a big pow wow on how you can milk the average gamer/consumer more. | ||

Day9 does have good ideas on expanding esports. His tournament alone brings large companies into the mix and shows them there is opportunity in investing in esports. Despite the fact he isn't struggling doesn't mean he can't have a valid opinion. Those who don't struggle monetarily tend to be the ones who actually have the solid ideas. | ||

- Leaders sit down together to discuss about future of human kind. This pattern sounds familiar. Do I need to buy boat pass now? | ||

-Building bridges. How promoters can help each other by gathering the audiences. I really hope they focus on this point, as it could bring upon a concentration point for everything related to esports. | ||

Surely these people have insight about the inner workings of teams and leagues that the public rarely glimpses, and they could share it with us a bit. Also, them saying that this will be an opportunity to "meet in real life" implies they probably don't have an open dialogue about this already. Surely private discussions will also be a component of this. | ||
