Sc2 gets 5k while halo gets 25 k. Yes i perfectly understand that its 5 ppl, im just saying that if mlg wants to continue supporting a halo prize pool like that, why is it leeching off the sc2 based subscribers . I doubt hardly anyone would pay to see a FPS game. sc2 is more than pulling its weight for suscribers and yet we have an overall very low prize, 5k is chomp change. This tournament is mainly for glory, most ppl entering this will be loosing money in fact. | ||

I would rather them have low prize pools and profit so they can continue MLG for all of us to enjoy to watch. They make a fuckload of money btw... Just saying... They could EASILY raise the prizepool by as much as 20-30k. They just dont have to. MLG is about going to an event, having fun, meeting players/ fans and having glory. Should it be higher? Ofcourse. | ||

I also don't understand all of the concern over prize pool. I, at least, watch most of all for player pool, story line, and production. As long as the prize pool is large enough to bring in a good player pool, what's the problem? I can see the need to raise the prize pool soon for the 'smaller' MLG tournaments sense some of the Euro guys don't find the investment in flying over worth the experience + prize pool, but as of now it seems to be a fine player pool. There's plenty of tournaments with large prize pools, good player pools that go unnoticed mainly because either they don't have a big name in the community yet, or they just don't have the excitement factor of a LAN. I'm unconvinced that giving more prize money in an evenly distributed way will increase viewer count substantially. Are people holding out on subscribing because of the prize pool? | ||

Sundance has stated on multiple occasions that due to the way they do prize pools the SC2 pool won't change this season. Now, he's just throwing something out there "oh, if we hit this really large milestone we'll increase the pool". ps i bought my membership, fuck the haters. | ||

All they have to do is play that "WEEEEE CANT BE DEEEEEEFTEADDDDDDDDD" bing ad 10 times in a row and then people will be scrambling for that membership. | ||

They said "show us you care and well add it to the circuit" so we made JP a celebrity. They said "sell out your passes in a day and well raise the competitor pool size" so we sold out tix in one minute. They said "fill out the arena and well have more chairs". So we spilled all over the floor all over the arena. They said "show enough interest in subs and well offer adfree stream" so we blew that up and got what we have now. Now they say "make the subs explode and well funnel it right back to the players". Why would we do anything other than what we've always done: blow up their expectations? Center stage, two streams, international competition... we keep shattering their greatest hopes and best case scenarios and they have to recognize and reward us for it. Why do anything else now? Sundance isn't threatening us, he's constantly amazed by us and he's challenging us again just to see how powerful a force we are. Why should we do anything else than what we aways do: blow their minds. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/XkWsE.png) This is the mininum rental rate for Hall A which I believe MLG is using this weekend. This does not include their internet, transportation costs, employee payroll for the weekend and any unforseen expenses. If MLG is making a ton of money and is super profitable, wouldn't every company in the world emulate what they are doing right now? Relax and see what the next year brings. Budgets are set in stone for companies or else they would go under pretty fast. Remember this is not 100k subscribers for SC2, it is for all of their games on the tour. | ||

Once again I have to say that MLG has pretty much always lost money and has made a ton of investments into their product this year so I doubt they are making as much money as you think they are. | ||
