This is amazing, I hope MLG and ESL can learn a thing or two (like Production value, format(fuck you, extended series), and the easely accecable streams) from DH and not the other way around.

Good maybe now we'll see a less stagnate map pool because these 3 tournaments should have the balls to try to incorporate some newer maps.

wow. didn't see that one coming, but really a huge step forward for the scene if they really do all they say they will. wonder if they'll open up for other tournaments like Asus rog and IPL even GSL to help with scheduling.

It's a partnership built with the intention to be open, not an elite, exclusive club.

Very happy to see the good groundwork put in place at the Valencia Esports Congress has led to this. Really proud that three major organisations could set aside differences in culture and money and agree to move forward for the better of the entire industry.

For those who said the congress would achieve nothing - Believe in passion, believe in esports.

If that is the case then pure awesomeness.

Has this anything to do with the e-sport congress or was it something that was in the pipelines months ago?

well this means Koreans will be spreaded more evenly between leagues. DH seems to lack some for quite some times :p

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.

It would also be pretty hard to adapt international tournament to the gsl schedule considering it goes on for pretty much every day of the week. The Korean players that participate in foreign players are the ones that are lucky enough not to have any gsl games that week (or gom is able to move games a few days here and there), and I don't think a partnership would help in that regard unless gom is prepared to change their entire layout.

Hrm, interesting. On one level, it's awesome. On the other, it kind of eliminates the individualness and the different opportunities given by each organisation.

But the good definitely outweighs the bad.
