Online registration ended yesterday, so more than likely very soon

Hey,

I read somewhere I had to get my Gold membership before a certain date or I wouldn't be able to get Gold online.
It doesn't make sense am I mistaken and it only refers to event passes?
http://www.majorleaguegaming.com/competitions/30
at the bottom it says: "Buy Gold Membership online again for a limited time!"
clicking it goes to: http://www.majorleaguegaming.com/membership
and then that seems like the Gold it was last year. It even includes gamebattles premium and stuff. Weren't those gonna get stripped and seperated?

That's my confusion, here is my actual need.
My gold expires end of july. If I take no action will I be able to watch the next MLG in HD?
And if I would get/extend gold now (because the site seems to want to force me to)* it would just extend my time?
So from the end of july it will add 12 more months?
Or will it start a new 12 months, because then the offer of the previous 12 months wasn't legit
If I don't extend it now I won't be able to extend it come july and I will only be able to get silver passes if I want to watch the MLG weekends in HD?

*really dislike putting it like that. the link says limited time but on the /membership page there is no mention that it's indeed limited. this actually makes me furious. seems like some guy who makes the site just typed it like that and it is implicating some incredibly serious things. pretty much all my confusion comes from this i think. because I would just not do anything and refresh in july ... now I'm getting freaked out because it's telling me to freak out :p

I'll come back and see what I'll do based on the response. Thanks for your time.

As long as you have the Gold Membership, you will be able to watch the Championship Events with no-ad HQ Streams. As for the limited part, that is referring to it being available for sale in the MLG Store only. The Gold Membership won't just be removed prior to the expiration. If that's not want your referring to, I apologize. Please PM me if you have further questions.
