Numerous people, including my local barcraft, got a email where they asked not to continue to show matches from one account. Wrong! Why are you twisting the truth and sprouting lies? That situation was with regards to a Barcraft in Seoul, near the GOM TV studios, not with barcrafting of GSL events in other locations. See here: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=305716¤tpage=7#138 Yea you can debate whether GOMTV was right/wrong to do this, but with regards to what you said, that GOMTV was against Barcrafts period, that is an absolute lie. | ||

MLG is flying players (including a lot from Korea) to New York City and having them stay in hotels in Manhattan. That does not come cheap. Whether they will exploit the fact they have all the players in the same location or not remains to be seen, they will need to make it special enough so it doesn't look like it could have all been done from online / replays. Im sorry, but do you actually have any facts to back up your claim that GomTV has no expenses? Don't they run a pro gaming house for foreigners all year long? I have no insight if and what it costs to run their stream on TV and not just over the internet, but I don't think it's 'cheap'. | ||

However, no means to currently pay online, overall laziness, being european with worse watching times and assembly being same weekend still means I wont be paying. | ||

Even though I feel that MLG is taking a huge risk introducing PPV while Assembly is going on at the same days I don't think that is their biggest problem. The biggest problem will be that they have no room for error at all; any sympathy for technical problems (whether you can prevent them or not!) is out of the window when you charge people money. | ||

I think they will miss their underage audience and europe completely but on the other hand Im sure they are going to meet the numbers they set for themselves. I wonder what kind of numbers they need to make this profitable. IMO, a 90% viewership decline wouldn't be surprising when Assembly is on the same weekend. But 10,000 viewers = 200k so maybe that's enough for them. | ||

I paid 15 for this season of GSL and am getting like 10x the content (if not more) plus higher quality production + higher quality play + higher quality casters. their horrible outfits make them the worst casters in the world. harsh but true | ||

You cant compare a movie theater to showing matches live.. If you want to compare then compare the GSL or other sporting events. The NBA package i pay for is around 40 bucks for a month of content. GSL if free if you want to watch live and if not, it costs money but the value is far better then what MLG is offering. I don't really mind that MLG is going to a PPV format but 20 bucks? Way to expensive.. I hope most people even if they can or want to pay don't to send a message to MLG. Also you are going to have to dish out 20 bucks for every Arena right? so that's 80 bucks for the season?? GG | ||
