Previously, aside from a higher quality stream, even if commercials were removed (Although I don't know if they were, or not) the only difference would be staring at an audience while commercials ran, or simply watching the commercials, both of which aren't entertaining. | ||

Also to all the people who are trying to compare this with GOM. You need to realize that MLG has been providing free replays/vods where as GSL does not. So it all comes down to which you value more, vods or stream. Personally I think people are not giving MLG enough credit for the quality content they have been providing for free. Also this event is much better compared to Arena of Legends instead of the GSL. So please, reconsider your opinion if you are pissed off and up in arms against MLG. | ||

Maybe not everyone but they atleast watched commercials, spread the word etc. Growth is way better than a few people who buy a ticket for 20$. If MLG/esports gets bigger, it gets more attractive to sponsors, more people are going to purchase premium stuff etc. I can understand that they probably need cash badly, but there have to be other ways. With this 20$ PPV they're committing suicide. | ||

That said I have MLG Gold for the year and I think I am going to pass on this, so some of us that payed previously won't be signing up for this. It just seems a bit much to me. I pay them for a year of MLG and the very first event they have they want another $15-20 from me? For just a weekend event? I could get a lot more bang for my buck from the GSL or NASL (both of which I have). | ||

T.T That's the single worst strawman I have ever read in TL. Really? Everybody who thinks it's too expensive doesn't work? I don't care if 20$ isn't much in the grand scheme of things, I'd also not pay 20$ for a bubblegum, even though I like bubblegum and I could spare 20$. | ||

Here's my point, I can get content from many different leagues in starcraft for free. MLG is one league, why should I have to pay money to watch the MLG tournament, as opposed to the plethora of other leagues that have content for free with the same players? | ||

Baseball started out with many different professional leagues, and before that, teams were developed very locally. For the longest time, Baseball was an extremely affordable past time to engage in and the development of the system of games was very localized. Now, MLB dominates baseball.
