with live battling becoming so much more popular/mainstream I think people would rather try their hand @ a local league or a big stage like KOTD/URL if they could

the same way live battles are evolving & bigger names are getting involved, and bigger purses are being awarded... online battling has to take a similar step to push it to the next level

back in the day it was hotlines and phone battles, then text battles in chatrooms or w/e, then sites like letsbeef...and now the closest thing to live battling are the tinychat battles. we see the progession of online battling but nobody's pushed the envelope since the tinychat battles popped off

what can be done to push the envelope?
Online battle leagues? Multiple websites battle each other to represent?
