The ESL WCS Monopoly. Incontrol and Rotterdam casting shall be awesome.

Omg make this happen. I need Incontrol casting full time. He is as all American as it gets.

Eh, not as American as Polt or Stephano, but close, I'll grant that.

I guess the main motivation is that it is nice for WCS America to be located in America somewhere.

Then maybe your Esports organisations should stop being poor? Ever though about that? If they were less poor, they wouldn't need dirty EuroSports money to come and save them.

They're even worse than poor now. They're dead

Burbank. The studio was signed before NASL shut down. Actually the deal has been in the works since August....and the talking phase since about 2007.

Ah cool. Jay Leno closes up shop in burbank and Fallon moves show to NY, leaving an empty studio in burbank. Coincidence?

What are they going to broadcast from NA that couldn't be served in EU ? While nice to see the scene grow, NA market seems to be ridiculously hard to stay in and turn a profit. I'd guess NASL wasn't even close to turning a profit, ever. MLG is very picky and does a ton of brand and game promotions and the little guys have very little overhead - BtS runs from a single house. RedBull only cares about brand recognition, which they have been doing very well. Riot throws money everywhere they go to clear the way. Maybe Blizzard + ESL ?

I hope it works out or at least that they have it setup so that failure doesn't endanger their EU branch.

I guess the main motivation is that it is nice for WCS America to be located in America somewhere.

Well, Kennigit just said they have been talking since August, so WCS AM may have sped up things, but it definitely wasn't the only reason.

i really like incontrol's game insights, love him as a host/desk analyst. as a main caster? ehhh... not so much. sometimes his passive aggressive inside joke-ish trolling humor can get old when i'm just trying to watch a game

but overall this is cool and i'm excited

As expected by most, ESL NA will be responsible for WCS America from Season 2 onwards with Rotterdam and Nathanias as commentators
