It should not needed to have been said, but don't post or request for restreams. Also, don't come in here exclusively to whine about PPV. | ||

fair enough ... but my point still holds that every IEM, ASUS ROG, etc. are all the exact same .... pretty decent player lineups .... with OK casters .... and we see nothing but the games ... it feels the exact same as an online tournament .... maybe MLG will be the same with no crowd but I doubt it ... there are very few Dreamhak/MLG quality tournaments besides GSL which is a completely different beast Red Bull Lans and Homestory cups do an amazing job as well ! | ||

That's because it's a free stream. You are essentially paying for the other game streams. Though I kind of agree with you it would have been a nice bonus to not have to watch the ads if you pay. | ||

Don't give your money to MLG who was doing fine before starcraft and pays their casters more than the 1st place winner (except providence and this). This account will be banned obv but stay tuned. User was warned for this post User was temp banned for this post. | ||

You are just a fanboy who discovered eSports with MLG. I guess that's only thing MLG ever achieve. Make the US learn what eSports is. | ||

Oh hm you're right, I read the FAQ too and it says they are playing commercials on that stream. I guess I'm okay with that, however, "maining" the Dr. Pepper stream seems to load a new commercial, which might be pretty annoying if I see something on that stream that I want to main. | ||

Just stay tuned in this thread and it will be linked here when the game begin.

I understand your sentiment, but I can't support this. Technically it's illegal, but also I think those of us who want to support MLG's attempt at a Winter Arena event by paying the $20 should support it, and those who don't (and want to vote with their non-$$$) should simply sit this one out. Then we'll see whether or not this sort of event and PPV model is viable at all and hopefully MLG will get the message / adjust accordingly. All the more reason not to muddy the waters by pirate streaming  | ||
