They'll reach it, probably quite easily.

Are you truly suggesting that MLG would decrease their prize pool to zero so that no pro players would attend the event and no fans would watch the streams causing them to lose lots of money?

It's just a joke.

I think Sundance was using the tweet mostly as a hype attempt. Still, I didn't think it would backfire this much especially given how generous they have been to their fans in the past. I'm not a really an MLG supporter due to the poor treatment that the SC2 open bracket players face, but I'm surprised that so many fans (presumably who also voted MLG as the best event of DH, MLG, NASL) are complaining so much.

At least they aren't doing shady dealings behind everyone's back. At least they aren't being unsustainable and hyping crap up and coming up with $100,000 prizepools without taking into account the production costs and level of professionalism required.

Agreeing with some of the people already mentioning this, but too many people here are blowing things out of proportion and overreacting.

Take it for what it is, a tweet, an ad, hype, whatever.
World still spinning folks.

Hype, scrutiny and a little controversy = more interest more viewers more ad money.

Mission accomplished!

All the prizemoney from CoD is coming from SONY, and Halo always gets sold out.


Halo has not been sold out since H2 was there >.> and california was rather bad the last time they had an MLG there.

Can someone point me to where all of you idiots are getting this decreasing the prize pool shit? Quite making things up.

edit: didn't see the edit to the thread

It's not a threat by any means. He's saying that there is more than enough people watching the streams that the number isn't -that- ridiculous.

I think it's pretty obvious that the lowering of prize money is a joke. Lots of people overreacting ><. I wonder how close they are to the 100k atm though.

Nah they won't. They have more sponsors/making more money than ever before.

And they've had the same prize money for years now. If anything it makes sense to increase the amount.

Its just a bluff .

MLG needs to higher the prizes. They are way below other events and the probably make the most profit right now.

"if that number is to high than I need to cut prize money next year."

wow.. that comment really pisses me off. The sc2 community should boycott the MLG.

edit ~ how about considering getting rid of the female interviewers and having the commentators do the interviews, im guessing those female interviewers get paid, the money saved can be put into the prize pool.

Everyone getting pissed you realize its a joke? MLG has been great to the customers so far, you really think they mean something like this? Sundance is probably just using this as a marketing ploy or a way to generate hype.

Well that first part is straight up factually incorrect. Columbus was sold out for H3 passes every time. Meadows and Dallas have also sold out in the past. As did the DC and Nashville combines.

But yes, Anaheim '09 was lightly attended Halo-wise, which is why they didn't go back in '10.

I think we should place bets on how long this faux outrage goes. I'm guessing over 25 pages.

Lowering of the prize money is obviously not happening. Remember these prize pools were set a long time ago and MLG did not think SC2 would be this popular. There is no way MLG thought SC2 would beat out Halo and here it is. Increasing the prize pool for next year is going to happen.
