The Winter Arena was a success. Thanks to everyone who tuned in; we hope you enjoyed it.

There will be two Spring Arenas in New York City, April 20-22 and May 18-20. Full information regarding packaging and pricing will be announced very soon.

I am dubious about the frequency. One per month seems a bit excessive to me, both for viewers and players; it also kind of loses the whole "special event" feeling.
With that said, best of luck.

Will they be individually PPV or a PPV package where 1 purchase can allow you to watch both? I hope for the latter.

When will we get information on how to register for qualifiers?

Will it be solely based on MLG Columbus results?

Will you be offering a free high quality stream like the first Winter Arena?

Yay, can't wait to see them. I wonder if there's any plans to open to the general public.
Can you feel the rush?

I will only pay if the brackets are stacked like they were in Winter arena. If they have generic good players or like 2 blatantly dominating then no I'll be better off simply reading the lr thread

Don't know about you guys, but as much as I want to support e-sport, I personally can't shell out 20 bucks per month just for MLG (considering GSL and stuff too) =(

Same.
At least IPL is free SD & 5$ HD the ENTIRE MONTH.

The difference is that IPL isn't going to have live events every month. IPL4 is in April and IPL5 is in August. Their online content is sick, but you are basically only paying for that.

I'm hoping these arenas aren't $20 though. I was okay with MLG starting at $20, but it's better for everyone if it's 10 or free for gold members.

I probably missed something, where did you read every Arena will cost 20 bucks?

Wasn't Pro circuit in 2011 also had sequence of once per month? I don't think this is too much content.
Of course it doesn't mean I am willing pay $20 for each arena

I dropped the money for myself and 2 other friends who are still students. I really hope the price point is a bit lower, or there is some kind of bundle for the two. I think that message came across last time around. Looking forward to this though. If you guys do open up that office across the hall and want some fans/bodies to fill it let me know! I promise myself and my friends are beautiful people that you can put on camera. ^^

Unfortunate that DreamHack and the first Spring Arena will be on the same dates.

True, but getting to watch the entire event for free is still pretty sweet. Aside from the internet issue I actually thought IPL3 had better production value than every MLG to date, but that's just me.
It does indeed depend on pricing. 20$ was an interesting way to test the waters to say the least, but I just don't think that e-sports have developed to this level where one can just shell out 20$ each month, nor the viewership for that matter.


Is MLG really going to have an Arena each month? or is it a combo of Arenas and regular MLG events like Columbus?
