I just oppened my account on MLG site

can anyone help me ? where do we find the tournament bracket and the players attending ? can't find it on the site, also, with the silver 9,99, can you access HD VOD ?

Thank you

You can't rely on people buying your products. MLG is a great tourny, but if they don't get 100k subscriber and lower the price money(Which wont happen) MLG will just go down. Noone will travel for a 2k first place or whatever.

It's sad to hear that from MLG cause it's complete BS. They act like SC2 needs MLG to grow and it's just stupid to say. If MLG goes down another tourny will rise and that's it.

If they deliver good content will buy their stuff and it'll be easy to rise their price pool.

I just think it's poor way to come out and talk about the prize pool. Not the bet PR for sure.

They said last event they had 450K unique viewers, so if you count this upcoming tournament Anaheim, and you unclude the one in August before national finals, I think it is possible to get 100K people to buy HD pass. We'll see.

This seems a reasonable motivation. To the players at least.

Maybe people are forgetting that MLG is not only Starcraft. I'm not entirely sure how many people pay to see CoD: BO (Is that still being played?) and Halo but there must be some too.

Looking forward to Raleigh with League of Legends being added (IIRC) I think 100.000 is a fair goal. Sure, it's a little lame to announce it this way but at least they are willing to make it higher at some point.

won't be paying for this, simply because they replaced tastosis with husky..

also +1 to incontrol, I doubt the stream will even get 100k viewers.. so to say 100k memberships is a bit stupid, im thinking he just said that to get ppl to pay $

What's a membership? I can't watch streams in the weekends so often (at least not at the times when most stuff air) and I never understood the vod service of MLG.

Provide me easy to get vods like IPL and GSL and I will watch it. Dont have terrible lag or setup like NASL and my wallet is open.

I don't really care to much of the prize pool either i'm sure it will stay competitive.

edit: Yeah if it's unattainable then it's obviously a stupid thing to do.

Lol, if this cutting the prize-pool business isn't just a troll, then wow.

Improve your site then maybe i'll pay.

MLG would have preferred Tastosis, I am certain of that. It's just that the GSL finals are this weekend, live at 3 AM PST.

It's not a question of 'replacement,' it's a question of 'availability.'

honestly MLG needs to increase their prize pool regardless of how many ppl are paying or not. Also how many viewers does Halo and Cod get? im sure its much less then sc2 and they got the same amount prize pool -.- Infact I think Halo has a bigger prize pool then sc2.. kinda ridiculous.

less than $10 for 3 events...

interesting that it used to be $10 for 1 event.
smart price drop it definitely made the difference for me.

beats the hell out of any locals sports event or movie i can attend.
and i probably won't have to listen to a top level player answer whether or not p. v. g. is their toughest match up.

Also Husky and MrBitter are pretty awesome too. they should be on a third stream for future MLGs
One more game, bro's!

Yeah, I went on the site expecting a pretty huge cost. Even 10 per event is pretty cheap. I should've subscribed earlier, it's worth it just to don't get those damn ads from last event, like the Bic one.

Did anyone else see this? He hit the nail on its head already.

It's up to the players to decide if the prize pool is attractive enough. If the pros don't think that it's worth their time and effort to attend, they'll simply go elsewhere and so would us viewers.

I think between the 3 games 100k is reasonable. Like someone previously said, if you add LoL in Raleigh (which has a HUGE playerbase) I think they'll reach it easily.

The playerbase of League of Legends are 13yr old kiddies who only play LoL because it's free2play... I don't think they would pay anything to see MLG.

it's not, halo is played by five people. so divide the prize pool by five.
