Hi all!

I am new to the forums, but have been part of Singapore e-Sports scene back in the old days since WCG started. I have organised and hosted many gaming events both online and offline, and have been looking at the potential of Starcraft 2 as the new e-Sports scene for both South-East Asia and the APAC regions.

I am currently overseas with a company who wants to run some grassroot tournaments and events with good cash prizes for the SEA community especially, and would also like to know the motivations for you guys to participate in it. Ideally it would also give me a better understanding to how we can build up the SC2 community in Asia as well.

I have a list of questions that would assist me in my planning, and would like to know the responses about it. I thank all in advance for looking at the thread, and if you can answer it with your most honest responses, I gladly appreciate the effort to do so.

1) If I were to run a series of leagues with good cash prizes weekly and monthly in a seasonal format, would the prize money constantly motivate you to participate in it?
2) What would you like to have more of, online leagues or offline events?
3) From a technical viewpoint, what are the ideal implementations you would like to have in such competitions? (from things like streaming, latency)
4) Would you considered subscribing towards premium content produced (HD quality)at a low cost such as shows and live casting?
5) Would you like to be a part of this community building process? (from being game referees, casters, tournament admins etc.)

I gladly praise the efforts of what nirvana has done for the sc2 SEA community lately, and would also wish to assist him in doing so if I have the capability as well but I would like to see the ideal tournaments/games/competitions you guys hope to see, when it is organised.

Once again, I thank everyone for reading this thread once you open it and read it till this very point.

thank you
