I'd love to have free UFC events live.


I'm surprised people think the tournament would happen if it was free. These EXTRA events exist because they are PPV and are extremely expensive to run.


Exactly. People watching restreams are killing esports. And not joking. If you're not supporting via ads or ppv buys, you are dead weight.


oh so there is a difference if i don't watch at all or watch a restream? you can maybe say that about restreamers. But i guess most of people that watch restream wouldn't have paid after all and are watching it only because there is a restream , i doubt they are "killing esports"



Piracy doesn't kill esports. Just like it doesn't kill the sales of video games. The people who pirate wouldn't have paid anyway, they would have just went without.


Jup that's what i said O.o any difference between our statements?

this is just ridiculous... Z is just overpowerd. Did anybody just watched MC vs. Symbol? there was just no chance to win this as a protoss. Its just not balanced any more.



I'll give you the same advice Toss gives all Terran players.. L2P, nothing wrong, it's just you bla bla bla. Sound familiar??



I am a high lvl master protoss.... I can hold off 200 roach at 12 min. But its only possible with force fields. But these drops make the hole defence 70% powerless.

Zerg probably could use a tweak. Especially roaches.

Yup, they just DOMINATED GSL, nerf them asap.

It was already mentioned in this thread: besides Nestea you have pretty much the best zergs of the world at this tournament, it is not that unusual that they are doing well

Nah this actually isn't true and plenty of studios have suffered as a result of piracy. Pirated copies of videogames are perfect replicas, there is no disadvantage to doing it, in fact more often than not pirates suffer less than legit customers due to DRM. Those watching restreams of MLG are getting an inferior experience, there is a disadvantage to pirating it.

Zergs look powerful at 11 minute mark.

Terrans look powerful before the 11 minute mark.

Protoss looks powerful after the 11 minute mark.

Guess who picked the shorter stick?


saying that is simplified is somewhat of an understatement.

I would love for MLG to implement more pay options . What if you just want to watch the games and don't care about VOD's ? Or if you can only watch on certain days like me this weekend ? I'm not going to pay full price if i just want a fraction of the content .

The problem isn't that its PPV itsself.


If you talk like that, then the problem itself still lies that it is too expensive.
Take for example GSL, I never heard people complain that they want only vods or only hq stream
and hence only pay the fraction of the price.


20$ is alot of money for a 3 day event and if a big chunk of the content provided you don't actually want it gets even worse. GSL is different you get so much more content for your money so if you don't need some of the stuff they provide its no biggie.

No actually.
If you have a PPV event of this high quality, then people (if they can't get restreams) will want to watch so bad that they'll just realize its worth it for 20 dollars.

Saying "oh, but I just wouldn't have watched" is a horrible argument because in reality all you contribute is an increased societal faith in restreams, and the willingness to hurt esports just for your personal pleasure.


quote TB : If you pirate the stream, you're not a customer anyway so you're not worth paying any attention to. The kind of people that watch restreams either can't afford it in the first place so there's no lost sale there or won't pay for it in which case they were never part of your potential market anyway.
