Thats like a dollar an hour, 50c per game (on average). Im a poor student and even I can afford this, just don't go out on the wkend or something, its not hard to budget $20. For SC2, and esports in general, to become big, it needs to be monetized. And you guys cant spare 20 bucks to watch the best SC2 players in the world go at? Are you kidding me? This is a small fee for alot of content, high-end production, where we'll probably see some of the most epic games in SC2 to date It sounds like you have MLG confused with the GSL. The GSL broadcasts in low quality for free, their seasons are way longer, and they're cheaper. This isn't about "oh how could MLG charge" it's "how could MLG charge so much when all these other tournaments are either free or significantly cheaper." | ||

That said... MLG has overall a better line-up so it's a real pity. Maybe if I can get a a bunch of friends to pool money or find a barcraft nearby. | ||

Theyre spending $100k+ on bringing together the best starcraft 2 players in the world, putting on high production, and youre telling them to fuck off? For 20 bucks? Thats being selfish, and asking for way more than you deserve. So many spoiled brats who don't appreciate anything Yeah, that or it's capitalism and people don't feel the service is worth 20$ and so they won't pay. Welcome to Econ 101. | ||
