why are all the matches being played in a little darkend room with no crowd?... surely this is going backwards on the success of the huge crowds last year or am i totally missing something :/
there is no live audience for this. Truth be told, i can't even get hyped for MLG at all :/

This is a Winter Arena, not the normal big events. For this first one, it's basically just the players and staff in the MLG offices, there's no room for audience yet.

looks like some of the streams are free and they switch back and forth from free to ppv or something like that

Wow MLG must think they really have a great product if they're not even allowing free live stream. Even GSL the top league in the world has a free live stream. So glad i'm not supporting a money grubbing league that is completely selling out the community. Really makes me not want to support or watch mlg in any shape or form. It's lower quality play for more money. I hope MLG fails and reconsiders after this weekend because at this point i think everyone including myself is hoping for them to fail.

Speak for yourself, dude. You get all the VODs afterwards too.

uh...not everyone.
I bought the pass....and I can't even watch it the first day because I'm working. A league failing would not be in anyones best interest, IMO

ah fair enough..
but surely theres a missed oppertunity here cos they have the worlds best 32 players in 1 building... i would definatly have paid up to say 50 dollars to go watch it live so surely if they held even this in an arena they could have made sum muni instead of relying on 20 doller internet streams..
Even if only 100 people turned up, surely a crowd of 100 is better than a silent room

They've said all along the first match of the day and the behind the scenes stream would be free, and VODs will be released in a week.

Fuuuck I loved watching the MLGs so much last year, by far my favorite tourney. Refusing to pay 20 bucks for it though. Thanks for the coverage TL. Go Idra!

Putting up a $20 paywall is no way to spread e-sports. No one who is outside of the scene is going to buy into it.

5 dollars I would be ok with.
10 dollars would have pissed me off but I would have paid for it.
20 dollars is a joke. Not touching it.

I really hate the ppv modus of mlg  here in europe it's 1 o,clock in the morning and nobody will pay for this so a free stream with advertisment qould be soooo much better 
|
The naniwa interview is hilarious :D
|
i think ppv is shit cause sponsors pay enough that hurting esport cause every new sc2 player wont pay 20 bucks for watchin sc2 ... i dont buy

How is there coverage? I thought that they had no room to allow media in.
Rich hacked the blue prints for the redesign before they began constuction to include a TL-only station. This went unnoticed because he used visual basic to create a GUI interface which made the revision invisible without enhancing.

This is not the thread to be bitching about the paywall. It's MLG's product and they can do with it whatever the fuck they want. It's dumb, yes, but they are allowed to be dumb.
What I really wanted to say is WTH is up with that pic of Naniwa on the front page that links to this thread? It's a really bad pic/scary looking of Naniwa, too much teeth!

They always said that first match on each stream would be free, you were all too busy whinging about the $20 to read it.
