MLG only cares about it's bottom line, and if it can milk this qualifier out for a few more days on replays, it's more revenue to them. That's the way MLG operates. Get shady backroom deals to get exclusivity, then leverage that monopoly power to maximize profits. It's a pretty common business practice, but MLG has really underestimated the value of community goodwill. This fiasco has lost MLG a ton of goodwill among the community, and in the long run, goodwill has a lot of economic and monetary value. I can only speak for myself but i was not very interested in the NA tournament before anyway now the interest has gone done to zero. Not going to watch any of it . Not worth staying up for it. MLG production value isn't even all that great though it gets hyped by so many people. Sure it looks nice but the actual content is not that great. | ||

But the community (as a collective) has a very short memory, and there has been the overriding sentiment of unconditional support to "help eSports grow". But that's unsustainable. In any other market, when a company puts out a bad product, they are "punished" by the market through lower future sales, damaged brand value, etc. But if everyone forgets about this in a few days, MLG will continue to pull this shit because the "market" let them get away with an inferior product. If the community wants to support Esport. We should boycot MLG and just support NASL. You know the organisation that's actually professional. As a fan of sc2 esport NASL is simply a pleasure to watch | ||
