Last year, it seemed GSL was the only major SC2 tournament worth something, but MLG has improved (their SC2 tournament) with every event, and lately with their GSL partnership I feel like they've become the best NA tournament and a worthy counterpart to Korea. It seems Sundance is the man behind much of this improvement, so lots of respect to you, sir. I am happy to hear that MLG and GSL are bringing their partnership to new levels, and I look forward to seeing how both will improve in the future. Yeah, I think we should all have a lot of respect for the guy. Concerning the extension of MLG in south america, i'd guess it would be argentina or brazil. | ||

Saying this because I agree with your internet point. It is a nightmare to get streams to run nicely in south/SE asia due to bad internet. Also, the caps in those countries are extremely tight. | ||

 I totally agree with Sundance about the "knowledgeable eye candy" thing.I'm not really a fan of LoL but I definitely look forward to watching some competitive GoW 3. Also if you plan to add fighting games, please consider KOF13 or MVC3. | ||

Don't think me stupid, i know GSL is widely accepted in big part due to the korean culture, but imagine how much MLG can do with such a powerful role model.

I gave a long winded answer that pointed to our intention of using Day9, DJ Wheat, Tastosis and my favorite sad kitten - JP rather than bringing in eye candy just for the sake of having eye candy. In other words - we'd want knowledgeable eye candy - which does exist. I respect him for this answer, and what he has done with this tournament. We don't need eye candy if it means hurting the production. I have been watching these since Raleigh last year (first mlg w/starcraft 2) and it has improved every time except for the Dallas incident. And the fact that MLG was able to rebound like that after the Dallas incident is amazing. I would imagine that they are profitable now, or very close. We have Sundance to thank for that. | ||

Through IMG we began worldwide broadcasts -- to Asia, the Middle East, even to India. While internet broadcasts are common in Korea, it's not like that overseas quite yet. It's an important opportunity to expand the market, and there's a possibility that in the future MLG will open not only in North America but also in South America and the Middle East. aha, he knows I'm watching :D! . I hope I dont hit my internet download limit by the time mlg starts this month, that will be sad  Great interview though thanks! | ||
