What a joke, MLG. Such a greedy company that don`t even care about the prize money to the participants.


Any idea how much it costs to fly in 32 players and pay for their hotels? The smaller tournaments you mention do none of that and that's exactly why you see so many more high caliber players here, there's no financial investment for the team or player to go.

Lol? ESL/IEM pays for their trips, and their streams is either full quality free or medium quality free, so I don`t really get your point. Mostly of the tournaments do pay for their trips. And I`m not only talking about smaller tournaments, I`m talking about the big ones like DH, IEM, IPL, GSL.. they mostly like are free to watch and even give higher amount of money to the winner..


IEM doesn't pay for trips. They provide a travel stipend, but that is not enough to cover the cost of a flight. It's why startale sound couldn't go to IEM even though he qualified from the last home story cup because star tale couldn't afford to send him. I don't think DH pays for trips either.

IEM gives money to the participants who finished last in their tournaments, an amount of money kinda exactly enough to pay for the trip.

Sticking with the 20$ are we? Luckily Diablo III is in da house.

And this time MLG doesn''t even bring the best out of the best. I really hope Stephano does well though.

I have the same problem in Opera. The other streams seems to be fine though, so it will hopefully be fixed soon enough

I have posted the same question in an e-mail to MLG support without any response. Anyone?

EDIT: Just received an automated response without any realy info, so at least there's that...


Can you please provide further explanation? I'll be glad to assist you (PM me if you wish.)

Alright, so I have bought the pass, what do I do now? http://www.majorleaguegaming.com/live is not letting me access the stream even though I'm logging in to my Twitch Account.


If you've purchased a season pass from MLG, please make sure to redeem the code you are sent via email by going here: https://secure.justin.tv/mlg_sca/subscribe/166

If you didn't receive an email, please contact support@majorleaguegaming.com

If you purchased an a la carte pass from Twitch, you should have access. So if that is the case, please email support@majorleaguegaming.com

I thought IEM pays the players incredibly late? Or am I wrong? So I don't know if that would work.

if this event was $10 i guarantee that the buys would more the double which would just make it better for everyone. MLG would get near enough the same amount of income anyway if not more and more people would be watching there for making better for the sponsors.

$5 would be great but $10 sounds about fair, $20 Am sorry thats just extortion.


Seriously STOP writing posts like these (and this is meant to everyone). You could have bought Arena 1 + Arena 2 quals + Arena 2 + Spring Championships HD for 30, which is 10 per event + one week of online broadcasts.

Or buy gold membership, which would include all the Championships (so 4 events, winter-spring-summer-fall) in HD for "i-dont-know-how-much-exactly" and then buy Arena 1 + Arena 2 quals + Arena 2 for 15. Just think in advance. Or at least, just think.

It's emailed to you.


And if we didn't get the email?

did you buy the spring pass or just the arena ppv? the spring pass gets the email code. check your junk mail. if you just bought this arena only, you get no code, its already on your twitch account. you may need yo log out and back in


eh, i found it, my mlg account was registered to a very old email acocunt and it didn't forward it on to my main account. I got it now.

MC:D

And thats why MC are a multiple GSL champion

MC is a multiple GSL champion because warpgate rushes were imbalanced and he was kinda the only toss who knew how to use ff

The sad truth.


His highest winrate ever was vs Protoss.

Explain that by saying Protoss was imbalanced.

edit: but yes, especially against Rain he won through abusing Warp Gate and Forcefield. He played to his race's strengths - how does that delegitimise his wins?

He 4 gated every single PvP back in the day -_-


He didn't win against Rain by Warpgate all-ining though. He won one game with a 4gate vs a blue flame hellion drop, in the other ones he was doing weird stuff and winning anyway.

The "warpgate rushes imbalanced" thing is weird anyway, cause they haven't really been changed, and they're not a problem anymore, so logic would dictate that they weren't imbalanced, trying to defend them with hydra/ling - like July did - was just a bad idea.


It has been delayed by 20 seconds. Although looking at the games vs MC back then, an extra 20 secs wouldn't have given them a much better chance anyway...


Yeah, but that doesn't delay the 2 base 6 gate (which MC became known for in 2011) at all. My point was, during his run in GSL Open nr 3, he did a whole lot of weird PvT builds, lots of stargate openings, every possible tech path off 1 base, 4gate into DT into double expand and templar tech vs MKP, and so forth.

And later in 2011, he practically stopped all-ining in PvZ, and would basically expand into Stargate every single game.

Yeah I had this issue last time around and never heard back from your support when someone said the same in the LR thread. Fixed it then by logging out and back in again on twitch (someone in the LR thread suggested that to me), but no dice this time.

Seriously MLG, if this is your 'support', I'm not very hopeful.


And now I got an automated response email. Some quality stuff really.


'clear your cookies/cache, use firefox, log out and back in on twitch/mlg'. All done done and done, still I get paywalled as a paying customer. My frustration with MLG's bullshit support is reaching new heights.

Idra should stop exposing himself and stay under a rock for 2 months and practice and rethink his situation to come with a fresh start.
