I think best format will be instead of each league playoffs, get the top 2 from each league and make a Ro4 bracket to finals. | ||

If MBC and OGN could make it work, for years, I certainly wouldn't see this as a problem. I think joint league would be benefitial for both parties at this point, fighting and cutting their audiences up would not help them, and introducing a half year long Combined Super PL could work well to hype domestic audiences. | ||

You cant really trust that some GSTL teams will not disband during that period.

They can do both. A few years ago a single Proleague season had 6 rounds, 2 of them Winner's League style. It leads to a super epic playoffs and finals. | ||

As far as broadcasting is concerned, the SCII model for viewing (where given the time difference, most foreign viewers watch VODs anyway) is actually much better than most mainstream sports for handling a large amount of games. In the NHL or NBA, for instance, a ton of games are played throughout the week, many at the same time, but only a few are broadcast nationally (local broadcasts are available for you home team, but for the sake of my argument, lets pretend you also want to watch at least one team that isn't your home team). Fans watch what they can when teams they like are on, and for the rest must go on ESPN or something similar to look at the stats and find out what happened in games that way. For a SCII league, they could do the same thing. Have many matches played, even multiple matches at the same time, but only put full production on and broadcast a few a week. For the games not broadcast, there are many options. The TL writing staff always does a great job with match summaries, the replays of the games could be released, or the games could even be casted in post-production from the replays and still released as VODs, just without the production of the matches chosen to be broadcast live. Its hard to do a full, well produced, live stream of a team event and have it look as good as GOM does, so doing every match like that would probably be out of the question, but it is not hard to host a team event that will just be cast from the replays. All GOM would need really is another random room. | ||

As of now, I don't care for either GSTL nor SPL very much, so on some level I believe this league has to happen. | ||

Both ways we ensure that both teams from Kespa and ESF (+whoever else would participate in GSTL) can go far in the teamleague. The downside is naturally that one league may become easier than the other, resulting in poor and/or uninteresting playoffs (I doubt this, since both sides sits on tons of talent). | ||

Ever heard of boxing people =) There are five titles there. The problem with the team league is that it's not a team league. It's just your regular 1v1 where you root for teams instead of players. I am just so much more into players than teams. I wanna see pros duke it out in 4v4. The battles would reach a new kind of legendary epicness never seen before. Imagine an 800 vs 800 battle with 3200 apm ^^ Can you dig it! Might be a lot harder to cast good though. Since there would be much more action all over the place. Builds and strategies would be harder to analyze since they're not one dimensional anymore. | ||

I would be psyched to see something of this magnitude. It really would be the premier SC2 and even premier Esports tournament and might go pretty far to legitimize our sport in the eyes of the average, non esport enthusiast. Needless to say though the amount of effort, infrastructure and resources that would be needed to pull something like this off makes it a little unrealistic. As it stands now the game is too global and latency too much of an issue to make this feasible. The most realistic alternative we would be looking at would be something like a combined korean proleague. I think that's the most likely possibility to be realized. I think the differences between ESF and KesPA though make even this difficult to pull off. If it was run by a third party organization with a large prize pool and quality production then I could see ESF and Kespa going for it. Otherwise it might be a bit of a pipedream. | ||

I'm fine without it. It's what most clan wars seem to be is winners league. GSTL for example is only winners league. I would kill for them to swap on and off. 1 season normal 4 1v1's with possible ace, and 1 season of winners league. That was always nice in bw and I always wished GOM would do that again but they refuse it seems TT. | ||
