For 30$ you get the whole spring season HD pass which gives you:
Spring SCII Arena 1 (April 20-22)

· The Invite-Only Online Qualifiers (broadcast dates: May 8-13)

· Spring SCII Arena 2 (May 18-20)

· The Spring Championship (June 8-10)*

*- Free in standard quality so you can get it in HD quality with the pass.

However you missed the first two events but you can get the vods for them with the pass if you want, it's an amazing deal and a lot better than what happened with the winter arena.

20USD for a weekend is a plain rip-off :-) no matter what they say about the content, it's a rip-off. It's about 50times more expensive than being able to watch local football (i pay 30euros for a whole season), scandalous.

5USD for the weekend (which would still be far-fetched) and i'd pay for it, but 20? never, and they can shove their 'great line-ups' and 'superb analysis' up their butt.

edit: hadn't read the previous comment, if that's true then i withdraw most of my stuff, MLG arena is 'only' 20times more expensive than football, HA HA HA. 'an amazing deal' LDOQSDKQSD LOOOOL

A ROBBERY THAT'S WHAT IT IS

I have bought to previous PPV and while $20 seems to much to me I might have been willing to pay to see Stephano play but with the reason exlusive deal with Kespa I have decided to stop supporting them.

I hope people just decide not to watch it so that things like this don't become the norm. I obviously don't know how bad things are, but I'm starting to think that SC2 isn't the giant game it's made out to be by the community leaders. I know 2 people in my life that actually play the game, and many don't even care that it exists.
Hope I'm wrong or that at least HotS fixes things because I do enjoy playing the game.
And yeah 20$ for 3 days of watching people play a game is going too far imo.
Remember, you're paying to watch people play a game, I know we're trying to make e-sports mainstream and whatnot, but it's never gonna happen if the big streams have pay wall, FREAKING NEVER.
It's like they're probing to see if people are willing, and enough people are paying I'm sure it'll become the norm and eventually kill off the game in a few years.
Or maybe my view is too grim and Im just mad I can't watch the stream.

yeah i used to buy silver pass last year to watch mlg but this year it's seriously too expansive and i'm not interested put it 10$ for a week end or die

MLG really has to consider on how to get a greater viewership. i was watching a restream last night for a few games and there were around 3.5k viewers on that alone. i think it might be better for mlg, to lower the price in order to attract higher numbers, as people are not willing to invest 20$ for a stream. another reason might also be, that people don't want to sit through the whole weekend in order to justify the 20$ (and at this point it doesnt matter how much content you get). people might prefer catching a game or two and then move on with their weekend - like i do. or having a day pass would be great too. like having 5$ for the final day would be a good offer.

Another restream viewer here, the quality of the games was luckily somewhat better then the last arena, felt the casters where a bit underwhelming though, Simpson is still a joke and apart from Wolf this could have really benefited from some more analytical casters (Day9, Artosis, a player-caster).

Still havn't seen anything I couldn't get from a free tourney though, and unlike GSL or IPL I refuse to give Scroogedance any money to support his rediculous attempt at making more money.

Oh and a cheers to mah bro's over at /vg/, I can advice anyone to go there during the broadcast, even has Husky's seal of approval. And you guys know what term I was gonna use instead of Scroogedance.
