so this announcement was supposed to be something along the lines of ESFI+KESPA uniting to make a new league, or maybe MLG.tv broadcasting globally on a satellite television channel, or some insane shit that would elevate the industry to the next level to the general public.

instead, you take Riot's business model, tweak it for 1v1 play, and market it as if its god's gift to the earth.

please don't hype stories up that seriously don't need it. this doesn't deserve to be called 'esports changing'. this is nothing more than taking an old idea and copy/pasting it.

fucking give us pvp in d3 already mike.

This is some huge stuff I'm so fucking exciting and just being "apart" of this is amazing.

I really hope non WCS events don't stuffer a lot from this, that could kill a lot as well.
(ie NASL and Dreamhack finals with 30k viewers)

So... Dreamhack makes WCS EU the best WCS tournament in 2012 by far... and ESL holds their official European WCS tournament after practically abandoning SC2 for LoL.

Heh.


They do have the deeper pockets and iirc they have a complete studio where they can hold the events.
The curse is real

They're broadcasting each others tournaments, so I guess it is coming back.

ESL Events are falling off so hard. Everyone will rightfully question why they didn't invite Dreamhack for this who have done so much more in terms of innovation, promotion and quality for the game. Byebye

ESL streams are a piece of shit for LCS so I'm kind of scared for WCS they'd better step the fuck up if they're supposed to be in charge of the biggest tournament for two major games now.

Way too much information. I don't understand how this will work 100%, yet. So if GSL becomes WCS Season 1... what happens to GSL Subs?

LOL, Slasher said "And one will be in North Korea." and nobody on OneMoreGame caught it or corrected it. Chat going crazy. I laughed so fucking loud.

So top 16 spots can still be all Koreans.

Thank god, no affirmative action.

But if they are both combining, wouldn't that just mean one league produced by both of them similar to how proleague worked with MBC and OGN, I hope you are right, I really wanted two code S level tournaments

I guess it's cool if you want to watch everything everywhere.
I wanted to tone down on SC2 a bit and just watch GSL so I think I'm getting less now. You could say I deserve it, you don't back down from ESPORTS.
