HallowETF2L has like 300 teams a season while ESEA-NA has barely 100 afaik. ESEA can't expect all 300 EU teams to switch, because of that difference in mentality and financial situation. But having 100 teams playing in ESEA-EU within a year seems reasonable to me.
First season of TF2 Open they had 20 teams. Currently 1 day after this is announced there is 16 teams pending. The 2nd season of TF2 they had 30 open teams and 8 invite. I think that those are pretty reasonable goals for EU.

Maybe one day Insomniac and ESEA will collaborate on a America/Europe LAN with a really nice prize pool, that is if Europe shows enough interest in ESEA.

If I was in EU Open, I wouldn't really be that concerned about going up against prem teams more than maybe once. With the way scheduling works, the best teams will rise to the top and be forced to play each other, and the lower div teams will end up playing each other as well.
Granted, none of them have any chance of winning, but I'd put up with it for a season if it meant possibly getting an EU Invite and maybe IM the season after this.

Unlikely at least in my opinion.

The scheduling works if I recall correctly half way through the season but yeah most likely the prem/div 1 players will rise and everyone else will be at the bottom. I honestly don't see an eu IM next season unless they get a shitload of teams.
