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.

Hmm this is tough. MLG will be mostly during the night for me so I can't watch much live, and there is another great tournament going on at the same time (free to watch). Will be hard to justify 20$ for that.

Get paypal or a credit card? It's not exactly hard to get either.

Question: will there be commercials?

This always pissed me off about GSL, I buy the package to be spammed commercials while trying to navigate their shitty Gom Player.

This would make Barcrafts illegal. Cannot publicly display a subscribed service without a special license. UFC being played at a bar have to get a special subscription and license.

If this was the championships I`d consider, but this is just arena and not the main event. Atleast with GSL you get more content than you can follow. The price for a 3 day event of this magnitude is 4 times more than I was willing to pay.

15€ for a three day tournament is way to expensive for me. im sorry mlg, love to support esport but that price is unreasonable.

:/ I'll probably have to pass on this one. It's not just that I'm salty about MLG charging me twice AFTER I canceled my silver pass, but $20 for a weekend is way too pricey. When I can watch a 720p+ stream of a top player, or get caught up on GSL or one of the other tournaments, I'm really not inclined to pay $20 for 3 days of content that mostly consists of waiting between matches. Sorry MLG but I'll pass on this.

I mean, compared to how much money MLG hands out to the players (including traveling fees), 20$ is pretty fine in my opinion. If you consider the ratio between total money invested into players and prize of the ticket, MLG Winter Arena is even better of than the GSL.

However you will get less content for your money and the fact that you'll get everything within 3 days isn't that great either
(easy to miss content, which cannot be rewatched without spoilers). All in all... agh, I need to think...

I mean look at it this way.
If i watch a 3D movie it costs around 10€ and i only have to watch at max. 2 hours.

20$ for around 20 hours of entertainment, that is ridiculous.

Better go and watch Episode 1 in 3D with my favourite character Jar Jar.

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.

Shipping over all the players, staying at hotels and back again. I think you'll have to think bigger

Way to be a condescending douchebag. I pay for a GSL yearly ticket, and MLG gold. If you look at what they are offering and compare the price to the competitors and what you get for the same amount of money, it's not a good deal imo

i dunno why the price is so high though, I agree mlg deserves some money, And they will most likely get it from me. But for a game thing that is very much in its infancy (esports), this is not the right way to go about it.

Like for instance, Lets say there is a potential for 75,000 viewers or more this tournament . With a price of $20 dollars that could mean only 1% might be even willing to pay that much. Where as lets say the price was $5 dollars for a weekend pass. You might get somewhere around the vicinity of 30-40% actually willing to pay.

so if we do some maths

1% of 75000 = 750 ppl, then 750 x 20 = 15000 dollars to be made from this tournament

Or

35% of 75000 = 26250 ppl, then 26250 x 5 = 131125 dollars they can make.



Conclusion? mlg will make way more money if their fucking product was not so expensive.

I think this is a really smart move by MLG. I think $20 might be a [i]little[/] too much, but I'll pony up this first time and see if they can deliver. Their last several major live events were spectacular, and I think they've earned it.

It's just $20 for a whole weekend of content guys. You guys spent more than that on far, far less all the time.

Do it. Do it for the awesome content, and do it for eSports.

I will be watching MLG. Just not these events. I just don't have enough interest. It would be the same if Idra or Destiny started charging for their streams. I would still want to watch, but I just don't care enough.

Considering the news suggests watching at a Barcraft, I doubt that.
