If you wait too long Ansibled, you won't be able to quit at all! D: I wonder what exactly those "MLG assets" are btw. | ||

This could very well be more for Activision. Or.. Blizzard wants to run Blizzcon twice a year with one event closer to the east coast. If its Blizzcon East, I sure as hell am not complaining | ||

It is hard to say, ESL is supposed to be doing COD World League for them, then there is a possibility this is mainly for Blizzard games since other than CoD Activision has no other esports titles. | ||

I never said they bought MLG, i just commented on MLG in general and its inability to support a brand or scene to develop the market. My second comment was based on what content Blizzard are trying to promote with their newly purchased assets, which as far as SC2 goes would take some doing in that the USA scene is almost dead. Hearthstone and Overwatch which as far as i can tell in the USA are far more popular and look much more promising. | ||

Activision have been looking to do something on this scale for a while so I'd guess its largely for CoD stuff, with their new division being made with Sepso and that ESPN dude. More speculation than knowledge on my part but from what I can piece together I think it's mostly an Activision move.

ESL took over an entire block in Burbank and hired like 100 people in America this year and DreamHack more than doubled their office space and are doing events in NA in 2016 what are you even talking about? | ||
