Voted no, I've just been disappointed too many times in the past and it's not worth the money at the moment. If they step up their game as they have promised then I'll reconsider.

I bought the HD pass from MLG Dallas, so I get a free HD pass for Columbus. Hopefully I won't be disappointed.

I bought the Dallas hd pass. By all accounts it was a disappointment. The stream constantly crashed, even when it was up it was rarely in hd. I'm not paying for an mlg stream until I know that they have got their act together. If Columbus run's smooth and the hd stream is reported to work, then I might buy a pass for their next event.

The only SC2 content I pay for is GSL, which I buy for the VODs because i can't watch the live stream at 5am. The HD stream I get to watch on Saturday's when it's on at 2am is just a bonus for me. I don't care enough about HD to pay for it.

this.
Except for the fact, that in my case the games are at 11am.

I'm undecided. Not many tournaments have been awesome lately except for TSL3 if you ask me. Everything else has been a borefest.

Will buy the pass if:
1. They actually start on time, no delays.
2. First few hours of broadcast have little to no down time in between games.

If people are using Dallas's troubles as the reason not to purchase a ticket, I think you should reconsider. The last event was a venue problem, with it beign in a city with no strong enough upload connection to feed to as many veiwers as they did, which shouldn't be a problem in columbus

MLG has been plagued with delays, down time, and technical problems since the WoW tourney days (and probably even before that, since that was only when I first started watching). Dallas was just when the shit finally hit the fan. That said, I am willing to buy a pass if I see huge improvement on day one including starting on time for once (I would have for dallas too), but I am not taking the word of the same people who have been satisfied with poorly run events (at least on the stream side, can't speak for live) for years.

If I could in anyway afford it I might, that said. I cant so I will just watch the free stream.

After the problems with Dallas I'll be sitting this one out if things run smoothly I'll consider getting the HD passes for future events.

Free streams and free replays have always been good enough for me!

for me it's no and no.
i don't see the reason to pay money for something like that. i can just watch free streams.
german mentality you might want to say.

With moneyback guarantee. Yeah I will.

No moneyback guarantee? Then fuck no.

If the Colombus viewing experience is DRASTICLY better than the last one (Dallas?), I'll probably get a pass for the next one. If it's another case of 10 games shown over the course of 3 days, with little to no info on what's to come and how long the downtime will be, HELL NO.

Question, does MLG offer HD VODS of the content for people who buy the pass?

won't buy one. the free stream was sufficient so far and i usually don't have the time to watch a full weekend so an HD pass feels like it isn't quite worth it. i'm willing to be proved wrong though

If they have hd vods then I'll buy. If no then no. Im so busy that I won't pay for anything that can't be watched when I'm free and requires me to schedule around it.
