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. | ||

I guarantee 99% of you have spent $20 on something alot stupider than a MLG ticket. 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. | ||

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 | ||

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. | ||
