So adding in the Arena prize pools, the total for each cycle of the season is $100,100, which isn't insignificant at all.


Wow go away... 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.

I'm still holding out hope for an MLG in Philly, but it might make too much sense. Amazing, central convention center with oodles of restaurants in the surrounding area, within a reasonably short drive of every major Northeastern city, incredibly cheap compared to NYC and Boston (and probably DC but I haven't been there in ages) and highly populated with young people.

On a related note, I really hope we get the other cities announced in a timely manner so those of us with travel restrictions can make plans with our jobs, school, etc.


In your list of items that make a ton of sense, you forgot to mention that PA (and more specifically Philly) is the poster child of Union labor rates for shows like ours.

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?

I find it really stupid how the online qualifiers are invite only. 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.

They didn't "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.

So you could support unions and bring it to Philly? Sounds like a win-win to me. MLG Philadelphia, sponsored by the folks who brought you the weekend.

It's SO negative you might even call it a DOUBLE negative :p
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)
