Didn`t MLG say the arena would be something special and extra. But who needs an extra event when there is already one very good on the exact same weekend. With free HD Streams. With a big enthusiastic crowd. And this is already the 2nd time MLG puts the arena on the same weekend with another top tier LAN tournament. How do they plan on delivering the best tournament possible, when a considerable amount of proplayers attend DREAMHACK. they just can`t. | ||

There is like 200+ players out there we love to see play, more than enough to hold 3 tournament on the same days. | ||

I don't mind the idea of PPV, but the point of PPV was that we were supposed to get a superior viewing experience. Instead, it was an inferior one. If the next Arena gets a proper audience, I'll pay for it. | ||

ok both got announced on short notices, thats bad luck for everyone. What`s going to happen now? DH and MLG calling the biggest stars asap to get them onboard. It`s fine for most of the Fans if the biggest stars go to DREAMHACK, because everybody can watch, if some big names will attend MLG, most of the fans won`t be able to watch, again. Maybe it`s because I strongly believe PPV is extremely unconductive for the eSports industry, but I just don`t like it. | ||

MLG_Adam on stog: we checked with alle the major tounament oranizers. dreamhack, IPL GSL, but assembly slipped through our fingers. as far as I am concered thats the last bit of belivabilty out the window. at this point I will just choose not to trust you on that. I just cant get myself to pay for mlg when there is such a disconnect between the content of interviews and that of posts. | ||

Aside from NASL, no other organizer shares their dates. We found out about this event TODAY after we announced. | ||

You pretty much just said that it was Dreamhack's fault for not telling MLG about a 'secret' even they were planning on holding. | ||
