MLG FAQ is LIVE today at 6 PM EST!

In a brand new MLG series hosted by Chris Puckett, several personalities from MLG and other areas of the eSports/competitive gaming community will come into the studio to answer whatever questions the community has. The debut episode of the series is with MLG CEO Sundance, who dives into multiple topics including Starcraft 2 on the center stage instead of Halo, other games added to MLG including Fighting and MOBA games, prize purses, and a sneak peak at how the 2012 season will look.

Episode 3 with JP and Slasher: http://tv.majorleaguegaming.com/videos/76291-diablo-3-dota-2-starcraft-2-and-the-future-of-mlg

Episode 2 with JP and Slasher: http://tv.majorleaguegaming.com/videos/75031-got-questions-we-have-answers

Episode 1 with Sundance: http://tv.majorleaguegaming.com/videos/74369-have-a-question-about-mlg-get-answers-from-sundance

The second episode will be taped today at 5 PM ET. State of the Game's JP McDaniel and Live On Three's Rod "Slasher" Breslau are the featured guests. Ask Us Anything!

To have your questions answered, tweet them to @MLGFAQ (http://twitter.com/#!/MLGFAQ) and your question will be asked if time permits. Make them good.

If theres no fluff, could you please have a serious discussion with Sundance about the MLG prize pool? They get much more income than other leagues, but still manage to pay out less, AND the other games get more?
It just seems ludicrous.

This has been discussed about forever. And they said they promise for a much needed increase. Plus grand final is 50k to the winner whats not to complain?

Man I don't have a twitter but can someone ask about the MLG bracket/group system and how they plan to change it so the first MLG doesn't mean so much more than any MLG after that in terms of points and placings? Along with the korean invite system completely making is extremely hard for open bracket people to get points thus stagnation at the top.

Sundance was on episode 1, and he already discussed the prize pool - which is the link above. Today is myself and JP only.

No, sundance said if he sells 100K memberships he'll go ahead with the increase.

He said he'll increase it this season if they get 100k asap, but the prizepool will still increase for next season.

Interesting things that I would want to know:

- MLG formatting next year/prize pool/distribution.
- Continuation/reformatting of LXP next season.
- Their view on Koreans and NASL.
- Why does Idra always play first :D.
- Their views on the three big MOBA games and how they'll affect the scene. Also which one they'll support.
- Anything that they've been disappointed with in the SC2 scene.

Any plans for DotA 2 once it comes out, or is the focus going to be primarily on LoL?

What protection are they going to impliment so that the different MOBA game fans don't end up getting in continued gang like nerd brawls?

Great show I really like the concept and will tune in every time.
