I hope this means that you can change the map pool more often since all the tourneys will use the new maps, meaning players will have to practice for them anyway. The extremely stale and bland map pool is one of major faults in the game currently imo.

Sad but intelligent move.
Good for the them but bad for the viewers.
Will be hard for smaller tournaments to compete.

Rather none than all of them.

Hopefully map pools will feel a bit fresher now.

Oops.

I guess someone already beat me to this question.

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

Does this mean that all of the tournaments will adopt a similar tournament procedure? Some clarification will be nice.

I agree with this x10000000 I think it's pretty much the only major fault in the game right now. I hope when PL comes back they will have started making their own kick ass maps again to inject some new blood into the game!

Very much about time. Still a great news. Now if only Kespa and ESF can get their shit together and partner up as well it would be great.

I believe someone from MLG posted just a bit earlier in this thread about that. Something along the lines of they want to all have similar(Possibly exact same?) formats/map pools/Qualifing procedures. etc.

Best news in a long time, eSports! Hopefully this means no more conflicting tournaments! (nothing is guaranteed)

This is probably the biggest SC2 news of the year. Hopefully it means the best possible tournament format (especially for MLG) if they all adopt a similar one. I think MLG could take some lessons from DH format.

I don't see them EVER partnering up. But with that HotS show match they didn't have any drama they just put on a show match together to help promote the scene. Of course they could have been forced into it by Blizzard to promo HotS BUT I remain optimistic that they just worked together because they realize helping the scene is helping themselves as well. and the amount of drama kicked up by trying ot wipe each other out will kill the scene in Korea and ruin themselves too.
