theres absolutely nothing wrong with them charging in my opinion, but 20 dollars is way to much 10 would be fair i think.

How do you guys expect MLG to stay operational to deliver the great games we want to see? Let it be free for everyone and have MLG disappear? Every major league charges, its 20 dollars not 200.

the first match was free, so maybe there were the 145k viewers, then they switched to ppv and I think no one knows how much people is watching, except for MLG of course

Lets say that is true, 145k viewers?!! Sundance said, correct me if I am wrong, that it cost 100,000 to have this possible. Now having said that multiply that by 20 dollars lol, thats a crap load of money and profit. Almost 3 million.

Thats almost too good to be true, it had to be the free streams

20 * 145k = 2.9 million $.... Arena funding accomplished and now time to build the MLG Stadium?

Again, I think that number is too good to be true.

If that 145,000 viewers is accurate, get used to having to pay for any high quality tournament

I think the number was 1450k actually, only glanced fast

Seriously lets wait couple days to get the real numbers before going "omg mlg makes 2.5M profit for one weekend of sc2"

I dont think this is accurate. If you go on Twitch.tv and check SC2 Streams there is a total of ~36k viewers right now. MLG hides their numbers but by subtracting the viewers of the other streams (~7k) and dividing by 4 Streams you get around 7.5k viewers which seems pretty realistic.

1450k is ridiculous. No tournament has ever gotten that kind of viewership, other than the Chinese-language stream at the Dota 2 International.

the 160k number is probably the amount of different viewers that have tuned into the stream
this would include all the people who only did watch the free preview
Mlg probably also gave out tons of free passes to friends of people who work there and what not, so the amount of people who paid we will never know.
still 160k is a realy high number, YA starcraft
Maybe lots of people bought the stream also , just because its the first time ever such an event has taken place and there has been alot of hype/promotion around it..
If 20$ tournaments are to be held every 2 weeks people will quickly get tired of paying though.

MLG_SCB is still up and I'm not a paying viewer, though. What's the deal?

EDIT: Nevermind, just got a subscribe window.
After all this time, I still haven't figured out the correlation between sexual orientation and beating an unprepared opponent. Are homosexuals the next koreans? Many players seem to think it's an unfair advantage. - pandaburn

Anyone getting a "your card has a temporary hold" message when trying to pay? I mean i know for a fact that my card does NOT have a temporary hold on it.

Umm not to be a dick but the viewer count on twitch is really unreliable in my experiences. Sometimes on my stream it'll go from like 10 people which is normal to all of a sudden for 10 minutes it tells me I have 200 then a few mins later drops back down to 10. But these "190" viewers that were watching (no one was watching) affect my amount of hits on my stream O_o. So dunno if I trust it unless it was exact flawless unique viewers

MLG would never do 20 PPV every two weeks. This would be a quaterly thing in my guess, they want a healthy balance that does not get us tired of it but enough to have us happy and not waiting months for the next event.
