		<blockquote>It'd be cool if ETF2L did an invite-only competition with Div 1 teams and ESEA Invite US teams, or alternatively, top 4 teams from each. An 8 team Premier Division would get tons of specs.

That said, it's not just ping that's the issue, it's time zones.</blockquote>

That actually would be awesome. The pings issues could be solved with a football match style, home and away matches. Then again, the time zones :(]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[Please, first things first. EU v NA at LAN isn't going to be cost effective at this moment in time. We are about to recover from a big recession. There will be more money pumped into e-sports (relative to the last 3 years) in general (this includes TF2) in the near future. Showing investors the potential of this game as a spectator e-sport in a cost effective manner is crucial at this stage.

ESH one night cups
ETF2L
6 vs 9 Pro v Public
Lan Finals

All these will attract spectators and increase the awareness of this game. My bet is that none of them individually could generate even 2/3’s as many specs as a well organised EU v NA game.]]></description>

    	    <description><![CDATA[A decent UK server would cater best. Finnish players would get between 60-90 pings. East Coast NA would get between 70 and 120. This is quite playable really. It's an obvious idea but I don't know why it hasn't happened yet. If well planned, a match like this could see 1500+ specs, which would generate interest from sponsors at a very crucial period in this games development.

I'm sure people at the top of this game would be willing to sacrifice 30-70 more ping to help promote this game to the next level :?

It’s a far more cost effective way of promoting this game than an inter-continental LAN that’s fo damn show.]]></description>
