I mean, I doubt MLG booked the venue anywhere close to when they made their announcement. Same for ASUS. It's entirely likely that both were making plans and made the bookings around the same time. Either way, very mature, forward-looking post by the OP! Well atleast for Assembly winters venue (kaapelitehdas @ Helsinki) it's probably around 12-14 months. That venue is probably in very high demand. As an organizer of another (smaller) event I suspect that they didn't have confirmation about the Asus tournament at that time. I definately agree that the event organizers should have more communication between each other but things like that makes it hard for us to communicate between each other about the tournaments. | ||

I know its feels huge to us, but it isn't. Tourneys should be working together at this point to help grow esports as a whole. Competition is good, so lets try to keep as my tourneys open and going as possible. | ||

Clearly MLG comes off much worse here as Asus has had their dates out there for a while, but this is a two way street and things do get booked before they're announced. I know for a fact that NASL and MLG communicate about our tournament dates so we don't conflict. We exchanged schedules in 2011 and will do so again this year. Don't know about others | ||

Really don't like seeing people jump down MLG's throat for anti-competitiveness, when really its a mutual problem, TBH because every major tournament has to go through Blizzard, I don't know why Blizzard doesn't take a bigger role here. | ||

Why is it every non-American poster takes what one American poster says and uses it to cast judgement on all Americans and assume we all share the same opinion in spite of the fact that many more Americans disagreed than agreed. See I can do this too. | ||

I actually feel quite lucky that I was able to get the Battle in Berlin 2011 on a weekend scheduled where no other big tournament was aheppening. so i fully support this | ||

Lol no? anti-trust laws assume that someone (i.e. the general public) is losing out/being mis-treated in the confines of general Business. Why don't football seasons such as the Premier League in England and the Champions league clash when it comes to the important dates? Oh that's right it's mutually benefitial for literally EVERY party. Anti-trust laws (Or Competition Laws if you live outside of America) work extremely well in the confines of traditional business where products are being sold at a continual rate etc, so as to stop businesses working along-side one another for price-fixing or artificial monopolies - comparing anti-trust laws to this situation is way of out place. I'd love to see someone complain/argue that having both tournaments on different dates is hurting someone or putting them out. | ||
