Those were the venues for this season. It varies season to season.

If you can't make it into the top league online you really have no business showing up to play at mlg. They make their money from random halo teams who have no chance of winning entering their tournaments. I doubt they would go full invite like they should. | ||

Take MLG's participation with SC2 with a grain of salt. They are not a reputable company. | ||

Even then it took 8 months when I was told 30-90 days. I have a friend who is owed over $1000 for CoD4 that never got his money. Take MLG's participation with SC2 with a grain of salt. They are not a reputable company. These were most definitely ONLINE situations though. MLG live events work much differently | ||

With that said, it's good to see MLG pick up Starcraft 2 and hopefully open up the doors to a competitive proleague in North America similar to that of Korea! Goodluck JP! | ||

True, but my comment about exposure remains unchanged. HDH got hundreds of thousands of views. It would be a good to MLG if they got just a reasonable fraction of that, but without top players and big money it's not gonna happen. They're wasting a big opportunity, IMO. I think at least some of the bracket should be invites, for the really great players and then have a qualifier, much like the GG invitational. edit: bah I keep double posting  sorry. | ||

Sounds like PR bullshit to me, they've been intentionally obscuring routes to talk to higher-ups. When I was trying to get my money, I was asking every staff member how I could speak to someone higher up the line. They all refused to give me any contact info. They force everything through lower-level staffers. On July 31 2010 08:43 Parsistamon wrote: This. considering MLG's size and capital I doubt they would begrudge anyone $1,000 dollars.

Not gonna hijack the thread anymore just letting people know that MLG is not reputable and you need to be very careful to document any winnings incase it comes to legal action. | ||

I've been a member on the MLG forums since 2008 and have never heard any such allegations. The first time I heard them, in fact, was on DJ Wheat's show. | ||

Hi my name is Adam Apicella, I'm the SVP of League Operations and Production for Major League Gaming. My direct email is aapicella@mlgpro.com. We always pay prize money, period. In the 7 years I have been here this has been a strict business practice, regardless if 10 people show up or 256 teams show up...we always pay. So there you go, no obscure routes to higher ups, I run everything. If you are owed money I want to get you paid. Hope to see you guys on the circuit! | ||
