You make sc2 sound like its already an established scene. 32 too small?? Prove it by selling out. Think your royal butt is worthy of a ticket to the nationals? Prove it by kicking buttt. Its not like you wont find new talent. Afaik huk was not a superstar in bw but hes big now? | ||

Also, there are like 5-6 events during each season and raleigh is just one of the events. I'm pretty sure it's the players with the best scores over all the events that will qualify for the national championship. You can't just show up to raleigh, dominate, and then never go to another event and hope to qualify for the end game. I think that's how it works, not exactly sure. | ||

Even had the VOD pass that used to cost money back then. ^^ I think this format is not ideal for a game like Starcraft, but it can work. This format is perfect for Halo because in my 6 years of following the competitive Halo scene, there has never been 32 teams that could possibly challenge for 1st place. As mentioned, StK/3D/FB have always dominated and there's only a handful of teams who ever beat them. So all the teams who had a chance of winning always got a pass in the end. Starcraft is a little more...hardcore than Halo, so there are 100s of players who could win this MLG event, 32 is certainly not enough to give everyone a chance. I can see why MLG is limiting it to 32, they probably don't have any idea how competitive the highest level of SC2 is right now - there certainly needs to be more slots to accommodate a feasible number of people. So they'll have to tweak their system for it to work with Starcraft, but knowing MLG, I'm sure they will. But if the spots are first come first serve open registration and all... wouldn't that just mean a few good players get propped up by stomping random noobs all day? Because apparently there are some players who go undefeated. Sounds extremely one sided. Utter dominance? Or roflstomping? | ||

Someone answered this above, but also remember that we're not a COUNTRY that is running esports as a national past time. We are a very small company that started out with 2 knuckle heads in a NYC apartment that liked to play each other in Madden and Halo 1. With that being said, yes we have a free non HD stream. | ||
