Thanks for the interview. It's interesting to hear that they will be going to South America (or just out of NA in general).... I really hope it doesn't take away from the NA events, though even if it does it will still likely be good. Adding LoL is to be expected, but it is nice to see they will also be adding fighter games even though I'm not a big fan of them. Gears of War on the other hand sounds shaky.

Lol EN -> EN.

Sundance has always seemed to have that spice in his interviews, not afraid to sneak in jabs at his competitors, gotta like him about that.

Glad to see MLG's got some really big plans.

Great interview! MLG continues to keep me upbeat and excited about the future of foreign SC2 tournaments and stuff, and even GSL. This partnership... i feel like we've only scratched the surface of the potential awesomeness which it could end up providing.

Thanks for the clarification edits too, that goes a long way toward stopping a thread from becoming a shitstorm of ignorant criticism and such.

▼ In the GSL, Korean Pop Idols have introduced the players, and in the NASL Grand Finals that went on recently, there was a female model that ran the interviews. What do you think of these attempts?
- MLG's casts are already made of individuals famous overseas such as Tasteless and Artosis. In the case of female cast members, I think what's important is to have people who know a lot about the game to increase the quality of production. You have to think of it within that scope of not damaging the production. I think NASL lacked the professional experience to a certain extent in that regard.

3 - The NASL line. 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.


Thank you Sundance. Would love some hot chick doing the interviews, but since this is a geek weekend, it needs to have SC2 relevance(as in the one asking questions needs to know what to ask, aka know SC2), else why would I bother watching SC2, I could watch something else with a lot more skin anyway.

Excited about the future of MLG-SC, after a really crappy start, it really seems like they care and are willing to acknowledge their startup shortcomings to produce better product. Love when people are mature enough to do that, only way to grow. <3

As I told a mate of mine earlier, I'm absolutely vibrating in excitement towards the next MLG.
Thanks Milkis! And thanks to PlayXP for lining up the interview in the first place and to Sundance for letting us know what goes on in his head.

heh, nice interview. it's interesting that MLG Dallas and NASL both had technical problems for the first event of the year (maybe next NASL will be incredible like MLG columbus?)

and if TL is looking for anymore EN --> EN translators, let me know ^_^

A very big thank you awesome translation

Sounds like there are some cool things in the wings for the GSL/MLG partnership; Sundance seems to know where things are going i enjoyed the bit about the knowledgable eye candy - thought it was quite funny :p
