I think tournaments like MLG will have to step back a bit, to make sure the WCS system can grow (yes, I like the WCS system now, even with its flaws). Maybe they will go all out during the WCS Global Finals Season 3. That seems to me a pretty good reason to keep the SC2 sector at MLG events a bit lower. Remember, MLG is also a big part of WCS, so maybe it isn't cost-effective to host two large tournaments. Has it been confirmed then that the Season 3 Finals are in NA and EU is Season 2? I've not seen that announced... | ||

Pretty much this. although MLG has quite a bit of homework to do because WCS NA was largely inferior to EU and KR. | ||

Well they are behind EU because they already had a studio and were producing LCS for Riot. It takes some time to get a good production staff and a studio that isn't also your office space. I am willing to give them one more season as long as they announce a better, upgraded studio and more production staff. | ||

Hire/support NASL for a big event, even WCS - at least it's clear they cared. User was warned for this post | ||

I think as long as they're going in this direction it could really help to have some partner streams (or self produced sub-streams) for the lower round matches, though it would depend on what the player list looks like. I agree. Great to have open bracket back, but some broadcasting of those guys would be awesome. | ||

Also, didn't Sundance say in SOTG that this announcement is late because they were still working things out with Blizz or whoever? | ||

You know they CANT ask NASL as a partner stream... The viewers would choose them over MLG main stream ^^. Are there any other NA streamers? | ||
