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

:o - You buy it on their website.. The Toys'R'Us was a gimmick (I assume, compared to their online sales)

Dear MLG

I'm not poor, $20 is 15€ and it's not that much money for me but it still is 3 meals in macdonals, a good meal, 3 tickets for cinema, 15 bears in a normal pub, 3 whiskeys in a disco etc.. etc..

It's also twice the ammount i paid for 2 months of GSL with code S and code A..

So yeah it's expensive imo

I hope you make your numbers and do profit but at this price i won't support you.

I've paid $25 for NASL twice and i will again because i want to support them and watch 3 months of games and a good finals show, the problem is your offer for europeans is not that great imo. GSL is in the morning for me, i can watch/hear it when i'm at work but i can't stay awake in my home for the all weekend to watch MLG.

Make it less expensive because right now it's not worth it for me atleast.

Keep up the good work

4. Why aren’t Arenas included in Gold Membership?

Gold Membership is good for all Championship events. The Arenas, which are a brand new offering in 2012, aren’t a part of Gold Membership—but you’ll still get a discount.

9. Why pay $20 when some other events are free?

The Arenas are a brand new addition to the Pro Circuit’s stable of events, and we’re putting a lot into them. There will be four streams running gameplay at all times, and one stream running throughout the weekend that will give you a candid look behind the scenes with all the players. You can watch all five streams at once, or choose which ones you’d like to see, and seamlessly switch between them. Production value will be incredibly high. Quality of players, and therefore games, will also be extremely high, because we’re flying 32 of the world’s best to NYC to compete live from our studios. We will be streaming every single game from the tournament, live in up to true 720p. And we’re getting some of the best casters in the business to commentate all the action.

Show me where please! The online store loops back to the membership page which only offers membership through redeeming a code you buy in a US store .

What's this Dr Pepper Ultimate Access stream that I hear about? Apparently that's free?

The Dr Pepper MLG Ultimate Access Stream: go behind the scenes for a candid look at your favorite players that will feature interviews, polls, chat, and more

Why is this FAQ all the questions that everyone already knew the answer to and that has been posted before, while all the actual questions and concerns people have are completely neglected?

For example


That doesn't in any way answer the question. Essentially your answer is "because it's not", which is an unsatisfactory answer for many.



Isn't this pretty similar to all your other events, which you don't charge $20 to watch? You never address why there is no free stream available for this event.

An actual answer to these two questions, as well as your justification for flying 32 players into New York City and paying for their lodging for 3 days, having no live audience for a supposedly high-quality event with the best players, and charging more for a premium ticket for this event when it doesn't include all the other MLG staples (including LoL and CoD) would be much appreciated, though not necessarily expected.
