Incontrol was real quick to knock the TL staff for criticizing the NASL. Saying something along the lines that organizers of another tournament shouldn't publicly criticize other tournaments. | ||

The truth hurts, but I mean this was NASL's first tourney, so you cant expect TSL 3 or DreamHack experience / performance either. The criticism was based on Liquid'Ret going out overall no#1 from groupplay being seeded against the #1 out of the korean-stacked openbracket in first round (Open bracket champ was ofc. Puma who eliminated Ret and won the event) This is totally unrelated though, lets stay on topic | ||

These types of people are hurting esports by not supporting them, and have to move out of mamas basement and live in the real world for a change. Everything cost money, and if you wanna keep seeing more sc2 events of this high quality, you gotta support it man, just common sense really. No one said anything like that. The "problem" with the statement for me is I read it like: "Pay us 30$ or we will keep our kinda low pricepool" I mean? WTF? I most probably won't buy it anyway (and never said I would), but that’s because I can't watch the whole thing anyway. I don't care about adds and the quality on the free stream was "ok" (last time I saw it, which is some time ago  )... If I buy it, I will do it spontaneous while the event is running... In advance whiteout even knowing if MLG will fuck it up again? Not a chance... The "give us money for bigger pricepool" just feels dikish to me.Btw1: ROFL for your "HURTING ESPORTS" comment... rofl.. Btw2: 30$ seems pretty expensive? I doubt this will entertain me more than the Homestory Cup (which I bought for HD) and costs 6 times more? | ||

Also if you buy one now, you will have 3 HQ streams (Anaheim, Raleigh and Orlando), so that is like 3.33$ for one event. Quite good price if you ask me.... | ||

You also realise that it costs 6 times as more because you get 6 times the content? Its not only $30 for one MLG, its for the year | ||

No, more memberships are not going to give them the desperately needed cash to do that. Prize pools are probably less than 1% of their budget. Miniscule. Edit: what InControl said. I'll go further and address Sundance myself: dick move. Yea what a Dick, provide the best tournaments in North America. You could do the NASL thing and throw money at people and HOPE that the product measures up. You could do the MLG thing of laying down a solid foundation and growing steadily. They've got all the best players coming. No one is not coming because the prize pool is too low. Just because a few fringe players want 10th place to be worth a few more bucks, doesn't warrant risk the stability of the best eSports league that NA has going. | ||

Well, you are reading the statement wrong...it says that if we buy 100k passes, they will increase prize pool, it says nothing about what happens if we don't buy the passes. | ||

MLG will profit. Players will profit. People buying the membership will get the perks. Who loses? Why are people so outraged by the idea of it. To Incontrol: Why are you always quick to criticize everything. You always complain about how posters flame you and stuff and you wonder why. Just practice, show up at tourneys, and try to win. | ||
