Let's see how the season goes, but the plans at least seem fairly solid for a great year. | ||

Such a shame, going anyways. Hope it doesnt snow much. EDIT: Yeah so, Koreans, Europeans... What if there's a snow storm? Probably 95% of the best players at the event might be delayed getting there. | ||

Then Columbus in early June would be really nice. Such a shame, going anyways. Hope it doesnt snow much. People locally are much more likely to attend in the winter, I would think. In the summer people have a lot more entertainment options. The Midwest in March really sucks and is boring, ski season is mostly over and its cold and wet. | ||

Thank god, There was at least twice as many people trying to watch the SC2 matches as there were chairs at MLG Anaheim. Also possibly chairs at the side stages with the first person views? My legs were killing me because security kept making us stand up. | ||

MLG is spending way more this year than they did last year (on SC2 anyway). 14,000*5 + 120,000 < (26,000 + 76,000) * 4 + 400*32*4 (assuming everyone who qualifies did so in a region in which they don't live, and only get a $400 stipend) + 32*250*4 (a conservative estimate of how much a cheap hotel in NYC will cost for a weekend) in other words, 190,000 < 491,200 Did you just call me dawg?  You're forgetting to factor in all the costs of hosting a live event, which is crazy expensive. I'm guessing this is one of the reasons they have been able to offer more prize money and stipends this season; not spending as much on venues and staff. So I guess it is better for the players in the long run, but I'm a selfish fan who liked seeing huge crowds cheering on the players  On January 27 2012 03:07 Kralic wrote: What was it? 5 events vs the 4 + the possibility of more now? They are paying for hotels and flights for a lot of players in the arena events, and have upped the prize pool. Guess they are saving money! There were 6 last year. Down to 4 (at least confirmed) now. Again, it's good for MLG, good for the players, but I'll miss getting a giant MLG live even every 6 weeks... | ||

I will miss it to, but the 4 arenas will hopefully make up for it just no crowd cheers or shots(yet). | ||
