I think it is a great idea however starting out I think it is a bit much but I think this is the direction we need to be moving in

^ SO true. Why should we pay MLG when Asus ROG is on...??? I think it's a stupid move by MLG. They're hurting themselves like an emo kid!

most people in this community dont want to be ripped off either,

compared to GSL this ticket way to much,


I wont be paying , wish i could watch but not paying $20, they should of just gone with $10 to watch HQ and SQ free! would pull in prob 3x the viewers

Lets put it this way, its been free so people expect it to be free ... i would pay for a season pass for all events but not for just one.

man there seems to be such an uproar about shelling out a measly $20. I can make that in less than an hour at work...why are people soo thrifty? I guarantee 99% of you have spent $20 on something alot stupider than a MLG ticket.

not free but reasonable compared to its competitors would be nice. GSL season ticket is 15 bucks and you get 2 months worth of content of the best players in the world along with the greatest castesr in the world (tastetosis). Compare that to 20 bucks MLG is asking for over a 3 day period from casters yet unannounced is too much. 20 bucks in and of it self isnt too much, but compared to other starcraft events it is.

Does that mean you should spend $20 on everything that isn't as stupid as your stupidest purchase? A one time 20 dollar fee is nothing, you're right. No one would complain about that. But if people are so relaxed with their money that they'll pitch out 20 bucks every time an MLG rolls around, they'll probably pay $75 a year for GSL, maybe get HQ for NASL. That's over 200 dollars, and this is just the BEGINNING of what I fear is about to become a dangerous trend in Starcraft tournaments. It's not like it's a one-and-done 20 dollars.

It's both a good and necessary move; I think that, based on the venue set up, the player list, and the casting talent it should be an excellent event. MLG hasn't exactly handled their announcements about this adroitly, and they might be overreaching with their price point, but I'm lucky enough not to be a broke-ass college student any more, so I'll happily shell out for it.

Or, people here actually know what the value of their dollar is and feel what MLG is offering isn't worth the price they are setting when you have GSL producing more content for less.

I pay for SC2 way more then i'm willing to pay for anything online.

The thing is with 2 months of GSL is worth $10 or 7€, how do they think $20 is the right price for 3 days of SC2 that i can't even see live because of timezones.

I don't mind PPV i do it with GSL, NASL and IPL but they don't charge $20 for 3 days of SC2...

Plus i don't have any MLG subscription but GOLD and SILVER members should have discount, it's not fair and another bad move.

I would pay $10 for this but I will never pay $20 just because you have idra, nestea and mvp.. it's not a good or even fair price

this is a new format from mlg, noone really knows if its going to be worth $20. it's expensive. maybe in 2 years a weekend would be worth 20 bucks but not now. if this the amount of money mlg needs to break even mlg can't have events like this.

Hopefully MLG will see this and change their minds later.

MLG wants to turn esports into big business? Fine, I'll evaluate my purchasing decision the same way I do in real life. MLG has one competitor which offers more and superior content at the same price and another competitor which offers a slightly inferior product for free. Guess which one I'm not choosing.

Exactly this. Why would they attempt this when another tournamnet is runnning at the same time? If anything, people who may have payed if it was the only high class tournament going on(besides GSL) won't now since ASUS will be going on. Especially since they started at a steep price on a system(their arena thing) we havnt seen yet.
