EPT
People complaining about paying for an HD stream are stupid, Korea doesn't provide a free HD stream, first of all you pay for the cable or internet TV service and second they have tons of ads they play every 15 minutes. Don't you hate how when you're watching proleague you have to wait like 15 minutes between each game just watching ads? That's exactly why you're not paying for it... It costs quite a bit of money to do HD streams, just look at how much money Youtube loses every year. And the $25 to spectate at the event is completely understandable, you have to pay to get into WCG as well, it's worth $25 to see live promatches + all the other stuff to do there.Starcraft 2 Added to 2010 MLG Pro Circuit - Page 12

We have give aways in all of our sponsor booths, free play opportunities in the console sections, spectator arcades with prizes, free Dr. Pepper & Hot Pockets (  ), and of course scheduled live competition across multiple titles (Halo 3, WoW, SC2, Tekken, Smash). OOOO doctor pepper/hot pckets  now it seems viable Dr. Pepper is my favvvvvvvvvvvvvv | ||

IE the Diamond 700's will go first, all the way down to low diamond. That way while they may not be PRO players, they are certainly talented ones. Announcing this one month in advance also gives people plenty of time to grind the ladder if they really want to get in, it would be stupid to look at ladder rankings when the game has only been out for a week, it needs time for everyone to settle in | ||

32 players is good considering there aren't many established teams here and the game is new so you can't do a season format. So that pretty much cancels out any team play or individual season since the game got released late july. 32 players will provide enough entertainment over the course of a few days. | ||
