As I said above, look for more arenas per quarter. Also, please keep in mind that just in the present structure, we're paying 100% for 48 global trips per quarter (Flight, hotel, airport, etc) | ||

Aspiration to compete at the top level has ALWAYS been a core tenet of MLG. We believe in that idea. For Q1 we wanted to make sure we could operate this online component up to MLG standards in the short window we had to execute. Similar to how our first SC2 tournament had 32 players, the 2nd 64, and now 272 in the same # of days. We'll get there. | ||

This (plus extended series, but that ship unfortunately seems to have sailed) were my only problems with the format. Everything else looks..... AMAZING. | ||

And it would be such a baller narrative if some random dude no one's ever heard of managed to qualify for the Arena. | ||

With more Arenas, paid travel, and the Championship prize pools, MLG is shelling out a lot of cash on Starcraft. I love that there will be open qualifiers this year as well. You can count on me buying an MLG pass this year. | ||

Two arenas plus a championship every 3 months is a major MLG event every month, and then you add qualifiers for each of the arenas... MLG is producing a lot of content. That is going to put a lot of pressure on the scene in terms of how many tournaments can keep getting lots of viewers. (I don't say that in a bad way. The competition is good, and some sort of consolidation is probably good too. MLG has clearly said it's going to fight to really be the undisputed top organization outside of Korea, which is awesome.) Also, they've talked about stuff happening in Europe or South America... The arenas seem like an obvious choice. | ||
