There is no story. That's basically what a union is lol. Basically Unions ensure "equal" workers rights for all those within a Union. It's like organized job security. I'm a contractor in DC and some places are union sites and others aren't. And if you're not in a union you get treated like scum by those that are in a union, because not being in a union = not supporting "equal" rights for workers. Being in a union gets you a negotiated equal wage between all employees, so you pay a "union rate" to union workers, and so on. Basically MLG would have to pay to rent the venue, and then pay the union to "work" the venue because they are legally backed by the US Government to do the work. The Knights of Labor (iirc) were founded in Philly so Philly is a huge Union city. This is also why we celebrate Labor day in the US. note: some of my views on Union workers may be skewed because most union guys in DC are jackoffs - I'm sure there are good union workers and so on. I'm just a little jaded. But you get the idea of what they are. Easily confusing to those outside of the US  | ||

Is it really a stretch to say the 4th is either Dallas, Meadowlands, or Orlando? My money is on Meadowlands. | ||

i cant even think of 139 people on NA that are any good. (actually, probably wouldn't make it to 50) | ||

That might change with the online qualifiers being open instead of invite only though. I would assume it is 139 from every region, not from each region. | ||

I'm not talking about a big change. I would be happy if the competition end a few hours early, so its not late night on sunday for us. The rest of the schedeule its fine. | ||
