Why?

If we make competitions for pro-team, then there will be a better coverage for that teams (through live streams) and that's exactly what sponsors are after (advertisement). If there is no events that the team can participate, then the sponsors will stop sponsoring the teams.

So yeah, there is maybe only 5 pro-teams today in SEA, but i believe we need to invest on those teams. By making more competitions in SEA for those teams we'll get better chances that the teams will grow, or other teams will emerge. Because there will be interest for sponsors. What will the sponsor will say if they see their players going to play a clan league with their clans instead of playing for the team.

It's must my own opinion and maybe i don't really know what is best for SEA as i am coming from france but i truly believe that it's the way we must go if we want to promote SC2 in SEA.

By the way, we'll make the format that the community prefers so no worries

It could do more damage than good if you make the teams require a minimum of 5 players or whatever. First of all there's not really enough talent to go around forever so some teams will be left with some average players. Next not all teams/sposnors can support having so many players on the team - a lot prefer 1-2 RTS players.

If we do something team centric we should look at alternative formats such as those for 2-player teams (some WC3 tourneys used it) imo.
