I pretty much agree with everything you wrote.

e-Sports tournament organizers should stick to games that have a solid competition mode (wow as it is now, without direct blizzard involvement is not) and proven popularity, even if they are old. This is just like offline sports - you make good old fashioned athletics your main event, or other age-proven games, not synchronized swimming and roller sports!

New games tournament in such events should always "showcased" rather than be forced into being the main events.

Real ID required for those competing is a must; without it is all a farce anyway.

A strong professional organizing team is a necessary requirement for any good organization; because relying too much on amateur volunteers without much accountability, or knowledge in the game they are supervising, is usually a formula for disaster.

I wouldn't call the CGS highly successful. At the rate they're going now they won't last too much longer. They're trying to cram in 5 games or whatever in the span of an hour and the announcers simply don't care about the players or the games. If you've ever seen an episode of the CGS it's more like Arena that used to be on G4, and that was pretty terrible.

Well, seeing that top teams like 3D and coL switch to CS:S in order to play at CGS is a big success already, next to this the CGS has been far more successful in Nothern America than it will become in Europe.
