Like MLG announces a beautiful prizepool, amazing tournament structure, and this is the only way you can reply? Be hyped instead of posting negative comments already. | ||

Getting shadowed by union workers to run your show drives up cost exponentially. I love Philly too  Can someone knowledgeable please explain in detail the union situation and why places like Chicago are affected by it? Is there anything we can do about it? Would a suburb of Chicago work-or is it a state problem? | ||

I'm no expert, but I think he means in those states, you need to have local union workers shadow mlg workers to make sure they do things right, which in turn increases MLG's employees costs by a lot in those states. I remember during IPL 3, their staff got in trouble by local union workers for not asking for permission to move a table for sheth. | ||

We don't need an expert, just an informed explanation so that we can understand what's going on. So if anyone else knows something, please contribute to the thread and tell us what you know. I am genuinely curious. | ||

They must be following some rules/laws, local or state. It would be excellent to have links to those laws. Also can you give us your side of what happened with that table, Diamond? How did they get in trouble? | ||

Just some union jackass that thought he was awesome cause he was in a union yelled and threw a temper tantrum like a 2 year old. There is no story. | ||

This limits finding new talent, and as someone who has a seed at MLG and went to basically every event, will not get picked over some Korean who never even went to an MLG event before.
