So...you have a problem with players praising one of the few organizations to have their act together?

Are you serious?

Did you not just hear them all shitting on WCG?

I just don't like it when they make it seem like the future of e-sports depends on their product.

But if it worked and they managed to guilt enough people to watch the Winter arena, why not keep milking it?

So, basically you have some beef with MLG, and you want to insert your own propaganda in between the lines?

No u!

I'm not the only person who thought MLG used questionable tactics when they basically told people to buy Winter Arena for e-sports sake. There was a lot of criticism around the whole thing, I think the Rakaka article explained it the best. Now they are making some super-event and once again its rumored to be the most important thing for the e-sports scene. Now if you can explain to me how these things are in no way related I am more than willing to change my opinion, but personally I am starting to see a pattern.

So yeah...you have an ongoing beef with MLG, so you make a shit ton of assumptions about Anaheim so you can bitch about them.

They pay djwheat for casting and pay idra and incontrol with pricemoney.
ALso they give you a platform to advertise your team sponsors.
So all people in the show have the financial interest that mlg anaheim is a good event.
So no wonder that you say this. I dont blame you for it. Just wanted to tell the other guy that he should not think that is a unbiased community opinion.

I guess my attempt at getting you to argue your point of view instead of resorting to more ad hominems was doomed from the start.

But you don't have a point. You're assuming Anaheim is a PPV and then bitching about it. You're also assuming players are hyping it only because it's PPV and then bitching about it.

You're making a shit ton of assumptions about MLG Anaheim and bitching about them, but nothing you're whining about actually has a standing in reality.

They hyping it because they get paid for it.
They pay djwheat for casting and pay idra and incontrol with pricemoney ( a little bit ^^ ) and give there team a platform to advertise there sponsors.
So the people in the show have the financial interest that mlg anaheim is a good event. So thats what they say.
hyping != advertise.

I'm not assuming Anaheim is a PPV, where did you get this idea?

What I'm saying is that they made Anaheim seem like the most important event of the year, like the whole e-sports world depends on it. They told people that if they were to go to one event, that would be the one. MLG gets revenue from people attending their events and watching their streams, a PPV model doesn't have to play a role in it at all and I never implied it did.

What I did imply is that MLG is again making it seem like they play the most important role in the SC2 scene and by supporting them you do a great deal to support e-sports, when in reality they are also trying to make money and sell you a product. E-sports existed before MLG and will continue to exist once MLG dies.

How is this different from any other tournament that Wheat casts or the EG guys play in?

So you or wheat talk bad about a tournament that you cast for?
I understand that you dont do it. I dont have a problem with it. I have a problem with act like you would...



EG told that mlg is the most importand one for their sponsons but generell there is no.

I dont get you problem guys. I dont want to blame anyone. I total understand why they do what they do.
I just said that they have so much financial interest about the stuff, they talk about, that no one can expect a unbiased fair opinion. (besides that they are personal friends with the team / tournament managers)

Why is djwheat hype mlg? Because they pay him for it!
thats just a fact!

I dont know if he would do it if he would not cast for them.
No one not even him self can know that.
