guys, MLG Adam gets it.

i'm not as concerned with the scheduling issue because of the European time and US Eastern time zone difference.
I got a chance to view MLG winter arena via Barcraft, and i was very pleased with what did get to see (mostly championship sunday games, but the friday/saturday brackets looked hella exciting)--- for those of you worried about costs, have you guys considered pooling resources with some friends? if my other SC2 buddy wasn't already going to buy a full ticket anyways i'd have split the cost with him.

i think Slasher would be better for interviews though, after seeing some of the interviews he did at the Winter Arena for gamespot i was pretty impressed.

as an additional thought, i think the MLG Arenas is probably the closest any other event will get to HSC, atmosphere-wise, since it's only the players in the studio (the analogy isn't perfect, but i think it's closer than anything else has been able to do), and maybe that's something MLG might want to consider doing more of in maybe having some of players sit at the commentary desk or table for some of the matches (i didn't watch the entirety of Winter Arena so if it happened, i think more would be awesome)

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.


To be fair MLG could have just asked if they had something for the dates of the 1st Arena, if this was the case DH would have said no since they had no events during that time.

We looked on every public listing for events. Aside from NASL, no other organizer shares their dates. We found out about this event TODAY after we announced.

No harm done in sending an e-mail to the other tournament organisers, right?

Adam just said "Aside from NASL, no other organizer shares their dates." NASL dates aren't announced yet so I assumed they tried to contact other tournament organizers and only NASL shared.

Why can't Dreamhack send emails to other tourneys as well though? It's a 2 way street. Tourney date secrecy is killing e-sports.

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

You know some of these smaller events like ASUS, Dreamhack, IPL and NASL just slip under the radar, it happens. You can't keep track of every tournament out there, especially not those that are 2(plural!) times a year.

is it always going to be in NYC? I suppose that makes sense since MLG is stationed in NYC, but if there could be someway to get it more centralized, might make it easier on the koreans jet lag. I'm all for foreigners doing better but not at the cost of a korean being jet lagged.

Eventhough I agree that the tournaments has to start talking to each other about their dates, especially when it comes to bigger events, I can also see a positive thing with the fact that these tournaments are on the same date. First of all, since one is in US and the other one in Sweden they will probably not be airing at the exact same time (not so much at least) meaning more starcraft to watch for us! Second of all, when small events overlap it means that some more (good!) players will get the chance to compete instead of having the same players competing which would probably be the case otherwise. We don't really know so much about neither the DH or MLG event, but if the qualification for MLG is like last time and only open for invited players and DH is like their earlier smaller events which has been invite only, it would probably be almost the same players at both events, especially since DH only had like 8 people in their earier small events. Personally I want to see some variation, especially since it's small tournaments there is absolutely enough good players for it!

Of course it's a totally different thing if it would have been DH summer or some tournament of that size.

I'm not worried about dream hack interfering and if you are then you're thinking they are playing in the same time zone @_@

ROG's broadcast ended like 2 hours before MLG started theirs. MLG will be in NYC again and Dreamhack will still be in Europe. If they ever do cross time slots it will only be an hour or 2 hours tops.

I watched ROG and watched MLG, it was quite a lot of SC2 but the time zone differences didn't interfere at all.

Large organizations. How hard is it to pick up the phone before setting your dates?

Since top 8 from the Winter Arena was koreans, I'd say jet lag wasn't much of an issue.

Edit: Nvm, Violet lives in the US. Still, 7 out of the top 8.

I guess making just another one is better than: OK guys you were right all along! It was a big failure! Sorry! we get it!

It was a bit disappointing to see the last arena. When i imagined the arena i thought that i would see boxes, a stage, cool music, swirling lights and advertisement from bear companies. I hope the spring arena will change to the better...

Eh no that would be stupid. At the minimum the winter arena showed promise (financially). MLG wouldn't just throw money away just so they don't have to admit it didn't work out...

If fewer means higher quality it makes perfect sense. You could argue this issue.

And why can't the foreigners have jet lag?
