So pro gamers can't have any break and if they want to stay in pool play they need to work as slave labor? This sucks. I mean Sundance has shown that he only cares about profits and not much else! Anyone still remember the "if we sell 100.000 tickets I will increase the prize" line? Dreamhack, IEM, IPL, ESL, etc... on the other hand have been very community and players centric. I cannot tell if you are being serious. 44-50 weeks of competition will most likely be done online and not at an actual event. MLG has always been community and player centric. A lot of the MLG staff used to be gamers themselves at the top level. In the end they are a business but I have not seen a CEO of a business be so actively involved in communities outside of his companies website before. | ||

I think what MLG needs to do is have events outside of the US and start to be a global circuit like ESWC was or like WCG is, but with many more stops. | ||

Talking from my experience of watching the Halo for a few years by the way, but it will be the same with Starcraft. I almost think 44-50 weeks of competitive play sounds like too much (I know, it sounds crazy). But take the NASL for example, I pretty much gave up watching the games mid-season as there was just too many to watch and too much stuff to follow. I like how MLG is now, if anything I think they should only add one or two more pro circuit stops, and keep the off-season. Saying all this though, any expansion is good for the game and esports in general. Can't wait to see the day when we have an MLG event in Europe! While I agree that there COULD be too much stuff happening at once, I really enjoyed the NASL because I was able to watch high level starcraft basically at any day in the week. I do think that 44-50 weeks is too much, but I would be all for like 1 event per month. I could totally spend one weekend a month doing nothing but watching MLG  | ||

Should try and learn something from the CPLs failure at jerking around the FPS community to the "new" ( read PR money thrown at them ) game every year. Sundance has said he's trying to get Capcom games, but the previous CEO kind of pissed the living hell out of Capcom, so it's going to take some work. | ||

Do you guys realize how retarded you sound right now? I'm pretty sure most people don't watch every single goddamn game played in sport leagues like the NFL or NHL, doesn't mean it isn't a good thing there is always something going on. No one's going to take something that only happens a few weekends a year seriously. I for one, congratulate Sundance. | ||

We're going to get either 2 or 3 "seasons" each year. I'm thinking, if 2 seasons + national finals, it's probably 3 LANs per season + national finals. If 3 seasons, likely 2 LANs per season then national finals. There will be some leagues between. I'm guessing focused on weekends and maybe like 8-man invite SC2 tournaments? 8-team FPS competitions? There's a lot they can do on a weekend. | ||

While the layout it different it's a similar (not exact) amount of days total as say an OSL or MSL. I've already cut down on a lot of content because I simply do not have the time to view it all, the same will follow with MLG's new online format, but I'll be sure to stick with watching the events. | ||
