Will replays be available instantly to purchasers? This would definitely sway me to buy.

Oh whoops, I didn't even see that.
Five dollars off is alright I suppose.
And replays will be available within 10 minutes? You sure you don't just mean vods?

Adam will you tell your boys in the office to fix/tweak the stream? This is HD on the MLG twitch stream. The stream becomes grainy when there is a lot of action, and Yes this is from the demo.

That is just the video we are using so you can toy around with the multi view features. It is not even close to the video quality we'll push at the arena.

5. Will you be streaming anything besides gameplay?

Yes. We’ll have 32 of the world’s best players right here in our studio, in addition to a bunch of leading members of the scene, and we want you to feel like you’re right in the room with them. The Dr Pepper MLG Ultimate Access stream will be running all throughout the Arena, featuring candid footage, interviews, chats and more live from the Dr Pepper Player Lounge.


32 Koreans are playing? WTF! Nice!

Okay, so here's the rundown of the premium cost.

I still don't see why you are spending 80k+ on air travel, hotel rooms, food, etc. when all of this could be done online when there's no fan interaction.

because online isn't as reliable, players would be playing from all over the world which means shitty times and lag for people.

Haven't you noticed the no players at the GSL studios for Code A? It seems awkward. And not because of the lack of crowd because lets be honest, gom studio is usually empty any ways.


You do realize that we get lag problems regardless? Even if the players are side by side (no LAN applications yet). It doesn't justify the expense.

Marketing strategy is everything and you got to sell not just the product, but the players as well.


I have to disagree. Online tournaments are a waste of time.


To you perhaps, but online tournaments are very cost effective and we have the software to get live interviews after the matches.

A lot of tournaments do this including the TSL.

MLG isn't doing any favors for themselves. Only the players and other personalities so whenever they get the call they'll say, "Sure! I'd love to come down to fill-in-the-blank MLG tournament. They treat me so nice!"

Other than player schmoozing I don't see whatelse they're getting from it by flying all of them down there. I can see several guys getting very little air time and not only that. How the heck are you going to market them all? Where is the exposure coming from?

What they're getting is a fair tournament. There's debate over the magnitude, but any online tournament puts people not o that server at a meaningful disadvantage. It's something we can make do with for some things, but no tournament that's not in-person has a hope of getting the real top-prestige-level reputation.


TSL begs to differ kind sir.

I hope that you will begin listening to us, your loyal viewers, through this thread.

I think most of us here share the sentiment that a $20 PPV fee is too expensive. While we do not wish for our favourite e-sports organisations to crumble and die, we hope for reasonable packages that are affordable for the masses.

If you lose the stick, you'll always have theBALLS.

It was the only major online SC2 tournament back then that had hype.

Seeing how I'm European I currently can't obtain a gold membership, which I am planning on buying when available. Will it be possible for me to get a gold account before the event so I get the 5 USD discount?

In all honesty, I would probably buy a ticket either way, but I wouldn't mind spending a little less on what I consider a relatively expensive product.

No online payment option as far as I am aware of, and there's no Gamestops or Toys'R'Us's over here.

Can you explain why Gold members got screwed even though the Arena was clearly marketed as part of the Pro Circuit this entire time? $5 off of an already overpriced ticket price is more of a slap in the face than anything.

I'm sure there are plenty of people (myself included) who would not have bought Gold if they knew it didn't include Arenas.

32 Koreans are playing? WTF! Nice!


32 of the world's best players =/= the 32 best players in the world. If you are going to ridicule someone, make sure you understand english first, otherwise you look really stupid.

There are probably 1-2 Foreigners who can be counted in the Top 32, and even that is questionable just because we don't have enough information.
