Mike, I don't see how this is an issue. Just becasue the teams are private, doesn't mean they won't have sponsors & backing

For example, Gigabyte has their own team, but they could also sponsor Tom's team with mobos & graphics.

In many ways I would think it could be better...for instance, a private Team could be sponsored with eVGA mobos and Asus GPUs. But the Gigabyte Team would be stuck with only Gigabyte mobos and Gigabyte GPUs (not that there's anything wrong with them).

I think the private teams have the most flexability and the potential for more reasources.

Think of season 5 when newegg finally signs up to sponsor "Team Newegg"...
