Wow this is pretty fucking awesome! Great news for the foreigner scene!

Though I can't help but wonder... Why no IPL?

Nice to see some solid specific reasons instead of just circle jerking fluff.

MLG has a partnership with Kespa, Kespa and GOM don't like eachother. Do the math.

This is good, but I hope they dont create an "us and them" situation between DH/MLG/ESL and any other actor on the market. MLG/Gom seem to have a few unsettled businesses and I hope this doesnt force DH/ESL onto their side while GOM/IPL/NASL/You name it do their own thing on thier side.

Universal Ranking - This could get messy. With MLG being mostly for NA and ESL/DH more for EU. I wonder whats gonna happen with rankings when its like 10:1 NA:EU players at MLG and vice versa. How will an EU player not taking part in MLG be ranked and seeded compared to an NA player not taking part in DH? Even more messy since big actors (IPL/GOM/NASL) isnt a part of this.
Master calendar - Great.
Unified Competition Structure - I never really minded the different formats, but dont mind this either.
Talent and Marketing Efforts - Great.

Hope it turn out well though!

This could be the first step to a global E-Sports organization that would be able to promote E-Sports as one group. Which by the way, is one of the road blocks to getting E-Sports in the Olympics if I do recall reading. Super special awesome move made by these three. Now to just include some others. :D
PartinG fanboy to the max, Rain/Squirtle/Dear/Scarlett/Bbyong are cool too. I don't always watch Dota2 but when I do I have no clue what's going on. GOGO POWER RANGERS

For once I don't think Kespa hating GOM and vice versa had anything to do with this. I think this was a move purely for the foreign scene to get all of our tournaments running on par with each other and not getting in each others way etc.

The universal ranking system is really something to look forward to, something similar to the world of tennis.

Unified Competition Structure: Development of a unified competition structure for all major titles at all tournaments.


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


No (I don't think this means that). 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.
