Really? Euro´s/World championships in football are always free in germany.

We're constantly adjusting our offering. The thing to keep in mind is that NO ONE in this space has figured it out yet. As a business we need to make money to keep doing these events. Have we found our perfect model yet? No. We plan to keep changing from season to season based on what works.
Thanks for your support.
as a paying customer twice for MLG, i am very happy and will continue to do so, a lot of people just struggle with the change after it was free for so long.
But honestly, MLG has stepped up its game SO much, as you say, 11 streams with 1080P, layouts that give you a stream and both players PPV, so much stuff, anyone complaining is very very silly,
<3 MLG

Same here, and I agree. Its worth every penny as far as I'm concerned. Although I am of the opinion that dropping the prices a hair will bring them more money. If they lower the cost $5 I imagine a ton more people would buy.

as Adam said, they dont know what way works best. last arena was 10$ this one is 20$, i dont know if this is the reason they cost different amounts, but remember this is the first PPV we have ever had in sc2 (that i can think of) itll take a few months at least to sort out the perfect way to do it.

Yeah -- I'm loving the event so far. Definitely the highest quality stream I've seen to date. The matches have been fun, and the commentary is good too. Definitely worth the $15 I paid

It's really free in Germany? In Sweden it's bought by state TV, thus financed by everyone through taxes. UEFA and FIFA charges huge amounts for the rights to broadcast, I doubt there are many TV channels able to broadcast for free.

Yeah, he probably means a foreigner who is much better than the others and dominates the foreign scene, and the only one in that case is Stephano.

The pricing was set up that way to encourage a season pass purchase ($30 for all 3 events+ Online qualifier HD, or $15 for Gold).
