Yeah it does seem strange. They took the announcement down which had all the prize money amounts for the season. They also took the entire Black Ops page off. I love MLG, but this was slightly less than an organized information release :/

By the way. Just have a look at the attending players, Reach gets alone (if all 208 spaces will be filled) 832 players filling the hall,crowd,sponsor booths. SC2 instead gets "just" 272 players at every live event (if all spaces are filled). Then you have additional people for Halo such as Coaches (nearly every second team has one).

And just saying, "SC2 has more viewers" doesn't count cause you simply don't know any figures of viewers that MLG has, but I would say that Halo viewers are quite a lot, simply cause MLG relies mainly on these numbers, Halo is there since 2004 or 5, count 1+1 now.

Still, I'm surprised that their is BO on the circuit, no one comes to events to watch it (spectators, you have a lot of them for reach), the communities are 80% under 16 and kids. mhm.

I will update the OP when they re-release the information. Maybe they are restructuring it or just a human error deleting the wrong item considering it is their breaking news link on their main website still.

People keep talking about per player payouts, but team games in general are much more of a hassle to get a team together. 4 people + subs that ALL have to be there, if the Prize money isn't big then it is hard to justify sending players out, unlike in SC2 where a Sponsor can send 2-3 players out and all 3 of them have chances of winning prize money, a Reach team must have their 4 players + subs be there and in terms of Prize money, all the players are in the same boat.

This breakdown is the more important thing than the 50k on the top.

the 4th place player in MLG still makes $10,500, compared to 4th at GSL with $3,400.

10.5k is serious money that can help support a progamer while they train, 3.4 is a pat on the back. I applaud this decision and think this will help grow the scene massively.
