- A year pass for GSL. - A year pass for the GSTL. - A year pass for ESL. I'm already up at $240 for 2012. Pity, because I was wanting to watch MLG. Hopefully they do an NASL and slash the price to practically nothing on the final day, I might catch the round8/4 onwards then. | ||

I agree that monetizing events through PPV can be a way of finally making eSports lucrative but it should be in relation to the competition. Well it sounds like it's going to be a lot of content and just think of all the crap that people regularly spend $20 dollars on. I think a long history of mediocre free content has turned many people into penny pinchers when it comes to esports. Hopefully the content MLG produces this year will truly raise standards and people will see that content can be produced that is worth this amount of money. But I've been disappointed before. Maybe it will be the same kind of thing we've always seen and not be worth the money at all. Who knows. | ||

In a normal NBA season there are 1230 games that each last a few hours. If i counted correctly, there are 62 x Bo3 in the winter arena. I think its fair if not charitable to MLG to equate one Bo3 to one basketball game. That brings us to 62 matches for 20$ vs 1230 matches for 170$. thoughts? Are you really comparing NBA to Starcraft2 ??? we are so not there yet.. NBA has all the major sponsors possible . If it didnt you would have to pay 2000.. to cover their expenses... | ||

Pretty generous but like I said the idea that MLG would even try this outrages me pretty hard. | ||

1) Have a gold subscription for a subpar HD feed that barely lets me read the mineral count at the top right and they now want me to pay more 2) Want to support the GSL 3) Already have the option to watch Assembly for free Really poorly done by MLG. | ||

I'm already a bloody gold member, now you want more money? Which I would understand if it was at least half that. Too much. | ||
