EPTI love that Tastosis is going, but this bothers me quite a bit. Especially when I'm still on the fence about paying the $20.00.

Someone wrote earlier that someone has to monetise e-sports. I agree TO AN EXTENT but $20 for 20 hours? My television bill is like $80/month and comes with 900 channels so the sense meter: [-[-]---------------------------------------------------------------------] that's how much sense I think $20/20 hours is. Also MKP isn't playing and I don't watch things he isn't in I just have to quote this. I think your last reason really rings true. No MKP? No $20.00. I was going to fork over the $20.00 but then I remembered that I would end up paying close to $200.00 a year to watch MLG content (if I continued to pay for each arena etc.) Edit: Just realized MKP is playing... therefore... my original quip has been rendered soberingly foolish. | ||

We're still collecting feedback, and working on season long, and annual pass offerings. Please don't multiply out all of the potential events and assume that will be the price. We're working on it. We're also working to announce more features for the upcoming arena (already confirmed to be 100% ad free). Stay tuned. | ||

Do you really think they didn't ask Day9? Come on now. And those 3 guys aren't random. They have been casting for MLG for a few months now. | ||

Day 9 can cast a game between any two random players and draw thousands of viewers. Huk can play a game uncasted and draw thousands of viewers. Some of the lesser known players at this event would not draw many viewers without popular casters overseeing their games. Thus because casters such as Day9 will draw more viewers to an event than most of the players will, Day9 also gets more money. Furthermore, the casters are on camera far more than the players are. Day9 will spend far more time casting games than any individual will spend playing them at a tournament. While time on camera shouldn't be the deciding factor, it probably does play a role. While it may not seem fair, as some of the players probably put far more effort into preparing for the tournament than the caster and without the players, the casters would be nothing, for the tournament it still comes down to views. A tournament will spend money on what brings them the views and cut corners in areas where it doesn't. | ||

 no srsly, I'll gladly pay 20$ in good faith that they'll do even better job than last year. I really hope they step up the content between games a lot! (Seems like they are).Damn this tournament is STACKED! I can't even chose a favourite =/ I really wanna see Ret, Grubby, Socke or Axlav to win (or get really far)! | ||
