First, please allow me to take this opportunity to thank all those who helped us succeed with the SC2 event here in the Philippines last 2011. Looking forward to more success for SC2 with you guys. Also shoutout to my TL Bros! First to Dan "Artosis" Stemkoski, who is a personal friend. Thank you so much for your support in those trying times during the tournament here in the Philippines. Lets have a beer on the next tournament here in my country. Also to Geoff, I hope you are still incontrol. Good luck with marriage man. I have always rooted for you in BW and SC2, I am in love with your mental approach to the game. Speaking of marriage, also shoutout to my boy, Jesse Plexa. I admire your work here in TL. And finally, to my idol, Victor the Nazgul! I, Sir, am your biggest fan.
Now let's start.
A few years ago, SC2 expansion was aggressive in Asia. It was moderately successful with a few hiccups only because of general unpreparedness for tournament details and small errors by tournaments ground staff and some miscommunication which could all be easily corrected. Because of the direction SC2 is taking, these expansions seem to fizzle out and the only ones remaining are those in Korea and US and Europe. Missing on the massive Asian tournaments are a great waste of opportunity.
With LOTV in full swing, there is no better time to take advantage of this opportunity once again. I cannot help but emphasize it but ASIA IS A HUGE UNTAPPED MARKET FOR SC2. This could be resolved by first (in order to avoid the flaws of the earlier tournament when SC2 was still new) create a governing body for Asian tournament. This governing body will sanction and organize all SC2 tournaments in Asia.
We could then start by having key tournaments in China, Singapore, and the Philippines. These three countries are ideal to kick start this new and better SC2 programs since they have MASSIVE fanbase who will provide profit and viewership for the game, so all parties including game creator Blizzard, progaming teams and organizations, players, audience, and last but not least our beloved website, TEAMLIQUID to all benefit from this.
This will be a relatively big endeavor, and I would like humbly submit my and my teams' services to such a big undertaking, with the help of Teamliquid and the SC2 community. I have led a team to great success in SC2 and this will be of great help in breathing new life to SC2 and help it in achieving its true potential. I am very passionate about the game and the community and I will do my very very best to make sure that it succeeds, and I am willing to commit to this mission full time with the appropriate details of organizational and financial structure.
Let's do it TL. It will be our legacy. We lead the world in bringing broodwar to the world. Let us do it once again with SC2.
Your humble servant, Gus

stay delusional, asians don't care about paid games. also your title is so clickbait, it should be "ways SC2 could keep up" or something, since you're proposing ideas instead of showing that "sc2 has a bright future" I'm upset.

Hey man, title is click bait and will probably be removed soon. And it should be !
Don't take this the wrong way , I am not trying to bash you in any way but to me the fact that you put that post here shows that you care a lot about starcraft 2 scene and you want it grow and at the same time you don't know how the world works.
In my opinion ,
It's not enough to have a good idea, you also have to be able to implement it . You can't expect other people to join your cause just because you think you have a good idea. You have to prove it works to the world. Just having an idea doesn't entitle you to anything.
I can solve world hunger, climate change and achieve world peace if someone would hand me the power to implement my ideas. But that's where the catch is, no one ever is being handed that power. It is taken(through various means). You have to make it happen. No one else can make your dreams happen because they are all working on theirs.
I am sure there's more to it and maybe I am just a voice that you don't want to hear, but I think that's the most you're going to achieve out of your post and you exposed yourself to that when you made the post.
Enjoy the things you love because you never know for how long you have them ,

If you're the guy that scammed the tournament in 2011 I hope you account, your IP and any other info is being monitored and you are banned for ever making another post on this site.

Love your energy even if I don't fully share your enthusiasm about sc2 in Asia.
But most of all I am a bit confuse about what your post is about, it's most likely not by posting here that you will make contact with any major players in the scene and I don't really know want you would like us fan to do.
If you want to have a significant impact on the scene you should talk with the people who are already in the scene.
Try to contact the different Asian organisation mostly Chinese like invictus, Leifeing, the guys who run the Gold league (NetEase according to liquipedia), the guys from oseanic championship series, and any other organization that work directly in the sc2 scene, and of course Blizzard directly. Those guys will be able to tell you in detail the state of the scene in Asia and how you can contribute to his grow, together with them. I don't really know how closely you already know them since you said you already have an organization, but if you don't maybe the folk at Basetrade tv could put you in contact, someone like olimoley for exemple.
