MLG must have some sick sponsors lined up to be able to lay all this out without even revealing their big guns. | ||

August - fall of 2011 is a month or two. Columbus Convention Center says we only have ____ weekend open, they have to take it. Blaming MLG soley over this and then people over reacting how they are dissapointed and how MLG is selfish is pretty stupid, that is the only thing that bugs me. I really think this is a good opportunity that NA sc2 scene can grow up. I am pretty sure there are more than enough pros to fill up both events. Viewership will be definetly splitted, but there are clear time differeances to watch both tourneys. I think this definitely good thing for us as viewers. | ||

To me it does seem i might have been right when i said that Best Buy will be sponsoring this season. Look at the spoilers in OP  | ||

Hoping its off mlg points, I'm 73rd :D, like top 20-25 of North American/Canadian players You're still such a hero dude. The victory against Polt was SOOOOO sick and set the tone for the whole event imo. | ||

Assembly and Winter Arena conflicting? Bullshit. Not gonna blame anyone since I don't know the details (except the fact that Assembly publicly announced their event almost 5 months ago) but yeah. Pretty lame if/when potential players won't come here in Helsinki. I hope organizers once again realize that this pisses off everyone and they need to co-operate more. | ||

So thats a pretty bug incentive to stay in the actual server that you live by It will be interesting see if any Koreans want to play in the NA qualifier, will be much easier no doubt ;]. | ||

Unless, the NY event is held at their offices and they deemed paying for 32 flights is cheaper than renting out a venue and having a live paid audience. | ||

What's the point?  May as well be in Alaska if there's no live audience. I've wanted MLG to come to NYC forever | ||

This is the announcement of the winter season schedule minus what the prize money will be for the championship in Columbus. There will be four seasons exactly like this one: obviously Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall. Early season: Online tournament qualifier event for the Arena event in three regions. Top eight from each as well as eight seeds (possibly top eight from previous season) go to the arena event. Mid season: Arena event with $10,000 for first place in New York. No live audience, but event is offline. Presumably similar to what the GSL does in their studio. End of season: Championship with what we all assume is a larger prize pool in a convention center in the same fashion as previous MLG events. Repeat. | ||
