It really sucks that we'll have player pool and audience split once again among two big tournaments, I can't even stress that enough. People put a lot of effort in this, plan everything months before and then we as an audience don't get the complete/full experience because there's another event popping up that waves money around to attract players.  | ||

I actually like the decision to pay for the players. Even it it comes at the price of a smaller prize pool. Spreads the esports dollars around a bit more fairly instead of completely crutching on a 3day ironman tournament. | ||

MLG isn't as rich as you think they are and there are far more other costs to putting on a tourney of this scale than just the prize money. | ||

Excited to be able to talk about the start of the 2012 season FINALLY. A quick comment on event conflicts. The MLG team has been planning the 2012 Pro Circuit season since the Fall of 2011. Unfortunately, our large scale events – such as the Winter Arena and Winter Championship in Columbus, have to be scheduled months and months in advance in order to secure large venues and execute a bracket that will provide a timely lead in to our championship events. We always do our best to avoid conflicts with other industry events, however, it simply wasn’t an option in this case. This is the case with all event organizers, and unfortunately, by the time any of us (event organizers in general) find out where/when all the other events are, it's often too late to change gears. Stay tuned for additional 2012 details. Lee | ||

they've only released the prize pool for the Winter Arena tournament, not the Winter Championship. While i can't say the Championship will have a higher prize pool, one can speculate with confidence. Edit: fail quote | ||
