a private equity firm that invests in, acquires and develops companies appealing to the 16-24 year old male demographic of digital mavericks. Yay, I'm a maverick! Aww, but only for two more years.... Seriously though, this is very good news.. The idea that an investment company sees potential profit in MLG bodes very well for fledgling e-sports in the west.

Is that the game that didn't even have a stream, just a live blog? How on earth can that be a competitive game when the only audience they get is the on-site people? I kept switching between the streams when bored (I even watched 15 minutes of Halo >.<), and it always surprised and disappointed me that I couldn't actually watch that event. As for the actual topic at hand... great! I bought the Premium stream (or whatever it's called) for the two MLG events I knew about, and quite liked it despite the stream difficulties. I'm a big fan of yearly large LAN's (like Dreamhack), but I think we also need more regular events that are run and organized in a professional manner. I'm very interested in seeing what kind of exposure SC2 gets in 2011. It's hard to believe the game is actually only a few months old. There was the beta, of course, but that was more about pro's and hardcore fans. | ||

I'm pretty sure Nintendo doesn't let them stream Brawl or something along those lines. | ||

MLG can buy more folding chairs for the audience now! -_- Please dear god make a seating area. It's hard enough to convince people that SC2 is this thing called an eSport that people watch for entertainment value. I don't want to show them the biggest NA SC2 tournament only to have a bunch of nerds sitting on the ground come up on the screen. Nerds in chairs at least don't look like homeless people under a freeway, lol. | ||

Hopefully they don't invest too much money into Halo. They will invest more into Halo than SC2, or any other game since it has a big following. Not saying SC2 doesn't, but Halo has been apart of MLG for years. At each MLG event, the prize pool for SC2 increased at each event. Only a matter of time until it gets better. Also, Halo's prize pool has to be split between the players whereas SC2 is only for 1 person. | ||

Nintendo doesn't allow MLG to stream their game, Also the Brawl community has supported MLG since 2006 and they always come out to events. | ||
