Wow. That is superb from all three companies.

I already supported MLG & DH but now I will definitely give more love to IEM.

Don't hold your breath for IPL and NASL to join. MLG is positioning themselves to be sustainable. There isn't room for three premier esports leagues in the US.



There certainly is room for more then just those that have already joined up. It's a matter of creating a circuit or structure that allows each organization to remain their own.. while at the same time working together to build the entire industry.

Does this mean no more extended series? Or extended series to DH and ESL!?


No. I think this means more something in the direction of a super tournament where the champions of MLG, DH and IEM play. Or IEM winners autoqualify for MLG and vice versa etc.



We are aiming to have shared maps, tournament structure, and similar qualification across all titles.

Are you saying halo 4 is gonna be promoted in EU?

global halo would be the shit
OKAY FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE I SEE WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT

That's not gonna happen.

Not while IEM is involved in this...
Or if Valve doesn't directly supports them like Riot does!

I hope that ESL can massively step up their tournament quality, because they're nowhere near the quality of Dreamhack and MLG. Would not be happy about a organisation thriving/surviving because of connections, rather than product quality.

But there's definitely room for competition.

As long as their events don't clash (which seems to be taken care of regardless of partnerships), IPL and NASL not joining in on this is a good thing.

Nope, that's not what he's saying. This is only for the games that they have in common. MLG doesn't do Quake, DH will probably not do Halo.

I don't really find this announcement that exciting unless it means more top krs at euro events. The number of top koreans at euro events have been abysmal this year and it seems like it's harder to win code a qualifiers than it is to win a euro tournament this year. Comparing the level of competition of mlg/ipls to dh/assembly this year is like major league vs minor leagues almost.

Euro tourneys need to start paying for KR flights to stay on par with US tourneys competition wise. The next DH is their pinnacle event and I'm not excited for it one bit with that lineup.

kidding aside, seeing as DH does quake and MLG does halo, I doubt they'll cross the two (although it would be interesting if I were wrong).

Hopefully DH and ESL dont have to use MLG braket/format system, that realy sucks.

So if KeSPA is in a partnership with MLG, and MLG is now in a partnership with ESL and Dreamhack, does this mean we might see KeSPA players at IEM or Dreamhack?

Hmmmm...
