As for the problem of watching more, I find personally (curious if this is true for the average SC2 viewer) that I spend more time watching players' individual streams more than I watch tournament broadcasts. I see no reason that there would be any lack of streaming going on during a "break", so I don't think that there will be a lack of content to consume. However, I think one of the real issues here is a lack of practicality when implementing this resolution even if the community found it to be a good idea. While it might benefit the industry as a whole to have breaks, it's still in the individual interest of each tournament running organization to run a tournament on an unoccupied weekend. While we've seen a number of partnerships between eSports organizations over the past few months, I feel we're still far away from a level of cohesiveness where anything like this could occur. Even if MLG, GSL, and Kespa (theoretically) agreed to take a month off at some point, it would hurt their competitive stance in the market as other organizations could use the gap to promote their own brands, and if people want to be watching tournaments, they will have to watch the not-on-break tournaments. Overall, very interesting question, hopefully some day soon there will be a more centralized governing body of eSports that can improve the whole scene. | ||

Conclusing: Many tournaments are nice, but not if they are at the same weekend at the same time. Players need space between matches and tournaments because of flights, hotel living, pressure. I think they all need to work together (NASL, IPL, MLG, GSL, WCG etc.) so that there wont be tournaments at the same time or players cant attend tournaments because of packed schedules, flights etc. | ||

Everybody always cites this against "oversaturation," but really it does have a mental effect on the viewers to have too much content. It may be subtle by making you feel all the games are less significant and thus are less enjoyable to you, it could have some other effect, and it could even make you not want to watch anymore (if there's too much stuff you wonder which stuff you should watch and you may just end up not watching it at all. This happened with NASL in seasons 1 and 2 as well as, to some extent, IPL [not the live event] since it's inception) | ||
