Seems quite greedy.,.. You do realize these are extra events right? The Arenas are different from the regular season. Who cares, if you don't like it don't pay for it, if you want extra content pay the 13 bucks or whatever they are charging for the next arena. | ||

It's in their own damn studio for christ sakes. It's not like they have to deal with convention booking time. It's inexcusable for them to do this for a 2nd time in a row. | ||

T_T MLG Adam went on SotG to talk about how they consulted every other event organizer in the world to avoid scheduling conflicts, but unfortunately there was one mistake, and they missed Assembly in the list of notable tournaments. But they did ask IPL, NASL, Dreamhack, everyone else. So, to answer your question, the scheduling conflict with Dreamhack must be intended. | ||

I'm expecting it to go down by at least half by the next tournament, which will show just how much of a success this first outing was. All the best with the PPV model though. | ||

I think the issue is only the conflicts for players as they can't play in both. I don't think there's an issue with viewers because of the time zone differences, viewers can watch both as the tournaments would only overlap slightly for the most part. I know for assembly, I could barely watch it because it started b/w 12am-2am PST, so could only catch the matches when I woke up and those barely conflicted with MLG matches. | ||

This is what happens when event organizers treat tourney dates and venues like they're some sort of state secret. Forget being sick about announcement of announcements, I'm sick of tourneys keeping their dates so secretive. I have no idea who that benefits. Fans, players and other tourneys benefit when dates are known cause people can plan around the event and you can avoid conflicts like this. | ||

Either way, these smaller stops last year were of modest attendance and featured a smaller player pool. | ||
