They don't have the most price money, they don't have the most viewers, they don't have the most players...I don't get it. Isn't every single team "the #1 team in <region>"? It's just marketing and such. | ||

HuK winning MLG; IdrA almost imploding, but manages to hold on and beat BoxeR in a televised match; and Slasher getting his hair clipped. Still have a long way to go though. Last MLG they managed to get 100,000 unique viewers at the same time and now we're at 160,000. That's pretty good growth right there, but that number really has to continue to grow. | ||

They are saying that they dont wanna change midseason but they are using that as an excuse to earn more money. It's nothing that's stopping them from suddenly increasing the pricepool, it would only hype the event more but we can't forget that MLG is a company that wants to earn money.... | ||

I believe some around here would object to calling OSL a SC2 league. But sure, if you narrow it down to "worlds biggest video game league featuring SC2, CoD and Halo and is hosted in the US" then sure, they are correct. | ||
