Criticism is allowed. Undue flaming is not. Take a second to think your post through before you submit.

Bans will be handed out.

Should go without saying, but don't link restreams here either.

$20 for just this event? You can get a MONTH of GSL for $5dollars less.

That puts the overall mlg season costing more than my gsl ticket! What a joke. I would perhaps pay like $40 for the entire season but mlg isnt up to gom standard yet!

All these people that are talking against paying are just being cheap lazy fuckers. Seriously its 20 bucks for a 3 day event. The same people crying about lack of quality tournament are probably the ones not willing to put up the $$$ to make them feasible.

Viewership will not be too much of an issue for MLG, if they can make $20 per viewer. On the bright side, this might increase the Barcraft scene.

Actually im totally fine with this. I think 20dollar is fine for a great weekend worth of entertainment. I dont know guys but if you want quality, well produced tournaments and esports to grow you need to accept things like this and realize that it is still cheaper than going to watch a movie... I quess this will only be an issue for young people who have no access to a credit card.

I have no problem to pay for my starcraft but I feel that I'm contributing more to e-sports when I actually pay for the product I want and not just because "it's the way it's going to be" as Sundance puts it.
I think it's a big middle finger to everyone who got the gold pass aswell, especially seeing the recent shitstorm about that. So now I'm paying to see the grand finals of something but the qualifiers for it are out of bound, nice.
Between KSL/GSL/ESV/DH/ASUS/NASL/IPL who give me more starcraft for my money it's just wrong to call everyone who does not pay "lazy" or "cheap when there are obviously better products out there and the way MLG has put out their prizes to players, I see no reason to pay.

Yeah, I don't know if I'll watch anything that weekend because of other duties, but MLG is the only event where I can get friends over and just show hours of SC2, with not a pause or boring game. 20 dollars is nothing, the snacks and wine that go with it will be several times more expensive.

im kinda confused at this. so there is a $20 fee for the streams but you have to have a premium membership to buy the $20 stream?

Really? people are complaining about 20 fucking dollars?
People pay more for UFC Pay Per Views and they are only like 3-5 hours max
Meanwhile MLG offers PPV for 20 Dollars and you get 5 streams for 20 hours with all the people you've watched fight through the qualifiers.

MLG has my 20 bucks and anyone that thinks that 20 dollars USD is outrageous then you are spoiled because what you are getting is worth way the hell more than what you are paying for it.
I'm a poor student. For me this is very concerning. :/

I just cant see them making a profit off this venture for this event specifically. In order to turn a profit they would need something like 4000-5000 people to pay for it on the same weekend as assembly and I just cant see that happening.

20$ is just too much for most people. 10$ should be the price imo. Anyway, Assembly organizers must be really happy at this :D.

I'm willing to give it a shot and throw down 20$ to see if it's worth it. My initial thoughts are that the extra content is going to have to be AMAZING to justify this cost though... can see it being more of a 10$ thing in future.

ah, and assembly is on the same weekend.
assembly will have live crowd, right?
20$ or not, i'm watching assembly. theres no way this mlg arena thing can match the excitement of live event played in front of big crowd.

I wanted to watch. Really. I wouldn't have paid 20$, but I would've watched free streams with lower quality like always. But restricting content for not paying live viewers...well, I'll catch the VODs, but live I will sure watch Assembly, especially with their line-up atleast equally good/entertaining.

Lol 20$

What a scam. Ill never pay that much for a 3 day event, I wouldnt even pay a dollar. Should be free


i don't understand your mentality at all. totally okay with people being upset that this isn't offered for free, but to call it a 'scam' is ridiculous. MLG is a business.


Dreamhack is one too.
Yet everything is free for viewers.

Th whole " paying is always fine " mentality is not better than " everything should be free ".


all i said was calling this a 'scam' was ridiculous. not sure where you got the impression my mentality was 'paying is always fine'.
