One has already been announced, next one to be announced is in two days. Last one to be announced will be in 39 days. So, just before Christmas all games will have been announced (I guess).

Doesn’t have to all be ESL events or whatever. We’ve not got WTL anymore, partly due to EWC itself. But on the plus side the Chinese scene may do some regular LAN tournaments to compensate. We’ve got that cool Bulgarian tournament coming back, so that’s nice You need other events to build storylines, narratives, as well as sustain interest as a viewer, and viability as a pro player | ||

90 to 95% of all tournaments played online. Smaller prize pool. Much smaller player pool. Community lead competition. | ||

They don't care about SC2 year-long circuit and why would they? | ||

Its ESL job to run the circuit and they need to find a way, otherwise just cancel the whole EPT thing rather than making us waiting for nothing. At this point they can only run 1 or 2 max tournament before EWC next year, IEM probably also dead at this point, so there isnt much of a pro-tour even if they want to start now. Just man up and say that there is no more EPT, wait till Apr/May for potential announcement on EWC, thats it. | ||
