Why is this so hard to understand? - the goal of this league is NOT to give out money.. its about promoting the SEA scene. Grass roots development.. if everyone improves from it, we will be able to challenge Koreans eventually. But its about developing the scene internally.. not an open tournament, but a tournament within sc2SEA and finding out which team is the best within the SEA community.

I'm thinking about making a post on this later, but I think people genuinely have different feelings as to the best way to go about developing the scene.

Some people I feel want to almost protect what we have in a way, and shelter it allowing our current top SEA based players opportunities to win tournaments and gain prize money to 'help develop eSports' in SEA (I may touch on that later).

Others believe that the best way to develop eSports in SEA is to allow all comers into the tournaments, which may have the effect of firstly raising the general skill level, but also may have the effect of the world perceiving our server at a higher level than what it does currently. This leads to many of our SEA based pro's gaining a higher reputation due to the perceived higher challenge they go up against.

Both sides I think want eSports to grow, I think they simply have different idea's of whats the best way to go about it.
