I felt sorry for some of the attendees and turned off the stream. Na, Redeye is a solid host. Some of the panelists literally had nothing to add during certain segments and all of the panelists were losing track of the topic at hand. It's his job to steer them, and I think he did a good job at that. | ||

What could Dustin really say? He is in no position to make any calls on such an organisation. Hell if it happened he properly wouldn't even know it before it happened. Only thing which Dustin has any "power" over is the balance of the game. He might have some information about what Blizzard is trying to do with the eSports part of the game, but I think people will be disappointed in what he could bring.. | ||

It keeps the discussion going. | ||

But if they should be represented on the panel, they should also be in a position where they can say things and not just say nice words. Which I think many publishers would mostly do because they haven't really thought about such a scenario. | ||

They were never forced to add taldarim, they did it out of free will. | ||

Also the people in those positions are normally incredibly busy, someone like Mike Moham for Blizzard I doubt would have been free with a Wow expansion out next week, maybe they asked riot/vavle and they declined. | ||

Also, people are forgetting the publisher angle on this - Are publishers really the best suited for a governing body? They would constantly want to push their new title, and not necessarily embody the best interests of a 3-4 year old game which is an e-sports title, putting alot of effort into a title that you or I may not be interested in. I like the idea of publisher involvement, but I think that a governing body dominated by a publisher, can actually do more harm to a community than good. | ||

Dustin will be on the panel, 3rd panel topic, "Game developers and esports, how they have embraced the concept and changed their games accordingigly. Please check the website that is listed on page 1 of this thread for the schedule and topics covered. Because some of people only appear on certain panel topics. | ||

I like the idea of publisher involvement, but I think that a governing body dominated by a publisher, can actually do more harm to a community than good. I honestly feel like the first step in a joint effort towards a governing body would be some sort of external online ladder with representatives from each significant tournament having a say in how it is ran, as well as pro/team feedback/support. Basically an ICCUP, but on a bigger scale and with tournament/representative support to act as incentive. This ladder would also be a better and easier way of introducing new maps, amateur players, rules, regulations, etc... finding a common ground between all the different entities to lay the groundwork before they jump into something feet first. | ||

Won: Not totally sure... I think he's against it... he's mentioned that there will be difficulties making it function as an international identity... Alex: For it... basically... he said that eventually it will be a financial body who can handle and simplify transactions but at this stage it would be a very softcore version of what it would end up being... also states that he thinks it can't evolve from something that already exists and will need to come about from an outsider perspective... Tomas: I don't know... he barely said anything during the entire segment and I missed his initial minute... David: He's mentioned letting economics and profitability naturally develop a structure and made that the basis of his argument... | ||
