So in the end they take the most popular NA league (NASL),
The most popular EU league (ESL),
The most popular KR league (GSL),
force them all to merge and carry out their vision of esport?

I do not think it is overall bad, just the way they did it was so stupid. What it boils down to is that you know can earn points in most major tourneys that accumulate over the years, and at the end there is an event hosted at a blizzcon to find the best sc2 player to make following esport more noobfriendly?

They could have had that with so much less drama. So much less interferring. Holy moly, what a bunch of poopheads.

Really good news. Even though it seems like MLG was able to pull together a really good show by the end, it seems like this is better for everyone.

I didn't expect that. I mean, it was obvious that MLG knew they pretty much screwed up the Season 1 but I thought they'd prepare a lot of improvements for Season 2. I'm glad for NASL, I miss Bitterdam and I wish them and the IPL guys good luck, they can't disappoint now.

This should be a win/win for all parties here - MLG focussing on their championships and NASL acquiring this rather huge gig - not to forget the viewers who longed for something like that for quite some time now

9/10 news!

Did MLG state SC2 will be at their final 2 events of 2013?

Great news!!!

I think this is best for everyone, including MLG. I would personally love to see NASL handling the daily WCS shows, but perhaps we will get there in due time.
... In life very little goes right. "Right" meaning the way one expected and the way one wanted it. One has no right to want or expect anything.

Very happy about this I feel like MLG just didn't do wcs american very well. Don't think this is a good thing for MLG to run and way better for NASL. Really happy to see this :D
When I think of something else, something will go here

Approved ... then I can finally ignore MLG. NASL will probably provide a much better show too. Lets hope they can come up with a decent studio with spectators ...
