You know, a lot of viewers don't remember Pro League of pre-COVID, right?

With Wooden Sand, four or five thousand people.

And those were really fun tournaments, right?

In terms of the finals.

I just dislike a little bit what probably is just going to turn into another tournament.

So there was always the league aspect because before it was online, EU, NA.

Yeah, culminating in a LAN finals where then all these teams from different regions compete again.

It was a 16-team LAN finals, right?

And now it's just going to be...

Very similar to another IEM, right?

Which I think it was cool to have a different sort of a tournament in the calendar.

I think it loses some of its appeal.

Even let's say we broadcast it the same way and keep it more casual, right?

And it has that sort of identity to it.

But you're going back to Katowice, right?

To the Spodek, where you had the championship level IEM for a lot of the time.

So how do you create that brand identity

difference you know how do you set it apart from what it used to be I think that's going to be tricky it's going to be shorter as well right 14 last days next year compared to this year or and this year is already one season is shortened so in reality it's even more than that that that they're taking out just with these pro leagues

That's a bit disappointing for us.

We used to love pro league five weeks.
