OK, so after this announcement:

Including Sundance's response:

And after watching the last minute of this video interview in G4:

It is safe to conclude that MLG will bring on an extreme improvement and a revolution to eSPORTS in the US and possibly the whole world.

Based on the latest events surrounding MLG, like the development of the following SC2 tournaments online sponsored by MLG and the tools they will use:

MLG in my eyes could possibly surpass the GSL if it is successful in introducing whatever Sundance is planning for the future.

Now, I have created this thread to reach out to the community and start compiling a list of the possible huge changes and improvements that MLG's Sundance has suggested will arrive in 2012.

My two big predictions are the following:

1. MLG, with its new SC2 ladder system will be able to become the US's GSL counterpart providing 24 live tournaments next year.

2. MLG will open it's own TV channel (yes, a cable channel like G4, Fox, Cnn, etc.) which will provide coverage of eSPORTS 24/7 obviously including programs dedicated to SC2 alone as for Halo (Mostly SC2 for sure

).

What do you guys think?

Twenty-f...

Them's a lot of tournaments. Players going to fly out to all of those?

While I kind of appreciate the idea of one tournament group being the flagship of SC2 esports, I also kind of like the wild-west frontier feel we have going right now, where there are tons of tournaments that can fit players of all sizes (and regions), and we don't have to force all the players into have a single tournament define how good all of them are at once.

would be a huge mistake and could put MLG under

this...

if MLG has its own TV channel, i'm guessing it won't be a part of most basic cable/satellite packages in the US... so how is there going to be any exposure? and what's the incentive to paying something like an extra $10 for this channel every month?
