But I'm also a student that can't easily spend money on everything he likes. However in my case it's also just the fact, that I don't actually enjoy most casters over a longer time period. I rather listen to some progamer commenting like in Homestory cup. For some reason even the supposedly best casters just end up annoying me to some degree. Thus, when I'm watching MLG, GSL etc. I almost always have the stream muted unless there's an interesting game going on. Oh well let's see :/ | ||

On top of that, whenever he was casting, him and whichever co-caster were chit chatting off-topic for a good 80% of gametime. Not to forget how he constantly was eyeing Rotterdam/Mr. Bitter.. Yeah. The only casters who I believe have true casting/communication skills are Tasteless & Artosis. Engaging, charismatic and professional. | ||

Congratulations to MLG for actually trying to do something. eSports has hit a point where if we want it to become a serious way to earn a living then more money needs to be involved and generated. Once upon a time football wasn't the multi million pound world it is today. Look at Sky Sports for example. When they came about people rose up and complained that they would never pay to watch football (and other sports) but they are still here and are a major reason why clubs have so much money. $20 in the grand scheme of things is not a lot of money. Yes I understand that a lot of people don't work or are too young but really it's not a lot. Yet again the internet over reacts and demands free stuff. Flame away if you must, I've said my piece and expressed my opinion. | ||

If there wasn't Assembly I'd probably have to convince some mates to buy the PPV together.... Thank you Assembly!  ♥I can't wait for the VODs though, sick line-up, Tastosis... I'm sure it'll be a great event and I'm looking forward to watching it later. Thank you MLG! | ||

Yet again the internet over reacts and demands free stuff. It's not a lot of money.... in comparison to what? What if you could buy a chocolate bar for 30 cents at the grocery store. Would you pay 20 dollars for it in another store, even if it wasn't a lot of money? You don't just look at the cost in a vacuum. You need to compare it to existing products. Truth is that there's a ton of starcraft available for free, and that a weekend of material should never cost 20 dollars. As I've said, for 20 dollars over here you get multiple channels of content for a year. It's just incredibly overpriced if you actually compare it to the competition. Even GSL, until now by far the most overpriced SC2 product available, is far cheaper and offers far more Starcraft for your money. I am firmly of the opinion that they should begin charging entry fees instead of charging the viewers. Sure, the sponsorship deals aren't quite as big right now as with many other sports. However, will the sponsorship deals ever get big if you reduce the amount of viewers to like 2% of what it was? Would a sponsor rather sponsor an event with 25k viewers or one with 500 viewers? Some say that this kind of monetarizing is thinking about the future, I strongly disagree - Sponsors won't be interested as the viewer counts will be so small. This is just to gain immediate profit, indeed without any consideration for the future. | ||
