Sorry to be a douche but, I just hate this argument. That's like saying the last day of the Premiership had 15 hours of content but it didn't because you can only watch one match.

You're also counting FPVods which is just silly. Can I quadruple my previous bit of math to account that each match had on average 12 cameras at it which means the last day of the Premiership had... 180 hours of programming?

This is my problem with the PPV model MLG uses. Unless my weekend is free enough to see a good portion of the games it really isn't worth $20 to me. I don't want to spend $20 on a day's worth of games because I have stuff on Friday/Sunday when I could just spend the $20 on drinks with friends or seeing a movie or something.


an MLG event is better than at least 95% of the movies hollywood makes and then asks you to spend ~$14 for at most 2.5 hours of entertainment.

Even if you have 5 hours available for a weekend the 5 hours for $20 is a better deal than almost all of the movies made since 2000.

There are a few all time classic movies that are incredible. But, you can download'em for nothin'.

A UEFA Championship is free and offers the same amount of entertainment...

I don't understand your point.


Really? Euro 2012 and/or Champions league is FREE in the US? It sure ain't in Sweden.

Euro 2012 is free in Sweden, Champions League is partially free (Not all matches are), WTF are you talking about?


Financed through tax =! free. Swedish citizens pay shit loads of tax money to UEFA and FIFA for broadcasting rights.


In France, private TV channel buy diffusion rights, it's free for viewers, payed by ads. Nothing to do with taxes, and 100% free for french football fans.


And you don't pay monthly fee for getting TV service in your home? (not trying to argue, curious about the french case).


There is a tax on television. it's called "redevance television".

On the topic of the price, I honestly think MLG would earn more money by reducing the price. Just like the country with high corruption (forgot which one) which reduced taxes by half and tripled its income from taxes

Poor Goody, hit a couple of supply blocks (not exactly surprising). Excited for Grubby though he's just SO FUN to watch.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

Grubby actually played perfect that game. But goody made it easy. Any low lvl masters P would have won that game.

he added a disclaimer "if you want to do the math that way"

12 cameras is an overstatement, there are 2 camers for each sc2 game, each showing different things (3 if it is on one of the main streams) and all show a different aspect, its like how football uses different camers for each end of the pitch, its not double ups.

I am counting FP view, 100%. That is a stream that you would not have unless we paid to convert it and broadcast it. You can't use the 12 cameras argument because your TV does not allow you to switch to each of those 12 cameras at any time, or watch them simultaneously. If you were able to do that, then I would certainly label those original programming.

You can nit pick my comment, and I knew it would be, but I stand by it. Regardless, just say that we're only counting main, game play 1, and the 4 POVs for the 2 uncasted matches, that is 6 streams of original content, or 100+ hours of programming.

Really? Euro 2012 and/or Champions league is FREE in the US? It sure ain't in Sweden.


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


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.


Yes sure, it is the same situation, it is financed through taxes, but everyone with a TV has to pay those anyway, so there is no additional prize, which makes me consider them being free. But you´re right, technically everyone pays for them, just like everyone pays for the news, the weather and bad german series.


You guys realize someone has to pay the money to UEFA, right? If it is state TV buying the event, we all pay it through taxes. If the state does not buy the broadcasting rights, we pay less in taxes but have to buy the event for our own money. In either case we're paying.

God this analysis is awful. From Wheat and TB and now Rob Simpson? The whole point of an analysis desk is to get some analysis, get some pros or at least someone who is Masters league there.

I like what all 3 bring but it isn't analysis.
