If Mlg is going to fully monetise they should expect that they will have to pay for services p[rovided by others as well. It is a somewhat cheap timing of TL to jump on the occassion now and charge mlg but they have every right to do so and their product definatly has a huge value. Mlg should just pay, them refusing to pay others who help make their tournament a succes, while they are trying to monetise starcraft for themselves makes them look bad. How can you say they "should just pay" when you don't even know what the cost is? MLG isnt' refusing to pay. | ||

The only difference is MLG's requires the viewer to pay and not companies that run ads. As in anyone can watch it with an internet connection. -_- | ||

I feel like this decision screws both parties. It doesn't benefit you unless you pay for it. For those who have purchased it or going to a barcraft they should already know the where and when. There is plenty of coverage on it already. | ||

Ya you are right, i cant realy judge it as we dont have anny details. Am just saying that i find it more then reasonable though slightly opportunistic that TL charges MLG and i also think that mlg should be willing to pay a fee, how much this fee should be is another question. I would be suprised if mlg refused to pay annything at all, wich is the impression i got a bit. If they are willing to pay then i guess its just a discussion about how much, well i dont have annything sensible to say about how much would be reasonable, i guess both partys made their decission and now just have to live with that. It would definatly be alot better for both partys though if the event was listed, so maybe tl should ask a bit less and mlg should be willing to pay a little more ? lol | ||

I also have mix feelings about MLG ppv but I still paid for the 20$ and I can't wait to see excellent game play. I agree. I paid the 20$ as well.. but that was only to watch Axslav vs Violet :D | ||

I would guess that it would be listed as "sponsored event" or something like that.So let me get this all straight, some vVv guy came in with concerns about some stuff that went down between TL and MLG. Which bacally boils down to,TL posts a poll asking how their comunity feels about the new PPV system as a whole. The vast majority of the sample said they would not pay and they were against PPV. If this information was polled to find where their public standpoint should be or if it would be benefitial to do the referal thing to make money from TL site area pass buyers is all speculation but something to consider. Then after this fact if I'm understanding corectly TL publicly said they do not support the PPV system and it goes against what the sport is (paraphrased not quoted). After taking a public stand point against PPV, they tried to make a deal with MLG to make profit for advertiseing off the system they desided to publicly oppose, in which a "not unsubstatial amount of money" was requested by TL then rejected by MLG. The things I don't understand and would like answered are pretty straight foward. 1. Why did you oppose a system like PPV publicly then try to make a cut off advertisement of that system? 2. How much money was it in question that TL asked for, to have MLG Ads on TL? (I feel because no deal was made there is no harm in revealing this amount and it would shed some light on the situation). 3. For your dealings between TL and MLG to be leaked on a forum is one thing but, then the aspects of your dealings were openly talked about by a member who was part of the behind closed doors stuff. Was there no NDA on your business dealings? (In almost all serious business I've ever had dealings with the responces would have been considered very unprofessional. Im not saying that the other vVv guy was being any better but TL has a standard to live up to and I feel it kind of became a pissing contest to a point.) 4. Also (I hope I don't get banned or warned for this because I'm not meaning to be agressive towards anyone I'm just trying to find out what all really went down) I was looking at a few of the posts at the beginning of this thread and I noticed some of them had been edited by HB after some of these "Rumors" surfaced. Which leads me to think there is more we are not being told :X. What was changed and why did you feel the need to edit it? Thanks TL GOOOOO ESPORTS :D!!! P.S. If you didn't get a chance to see DRG vs Gumiho simifinals of GSL, it has some of the best ZvT games I have ever seen in my life! 2)While that would be interesting it's kind of like asking how much they get from any ads or sponsors. No one in the scene seem to be very open about that stuff. 3)If you meant hotbid's OP I assume the post is meant to be an official TL explanation about the stream event calendar. | ||

MLG is part of vVv's partners: http://vvv-gaming.com/partners It's the same thing as a team defending their sponsors. | ||

It's also funny how when one vVv member posts they all come out of the woodwork replying "this" to every one of their posts, not just on TL but they did this on MLG's site. | ||

"Nothing personal against you but there are two core reasons: 1. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=17883#cmd06 6. THOU SHALL RESPECT FORUM VETERANS All other things being equal, we will give preferential treatment to site members who have been with us longer (as reflected in their post count + length of time with us as a registered member). It's a simple recognition of the quality of these people. Longevity and contribution are prized commodities around here. In a similar vein, "known" pro/semi-pro players will also be treated with deference (yes, quite a few hang out here). Don't complain - these guys have earned it. 2.

1. It breaks away from the goal for teamliquid to be the ESPN of sc2. ESPN covers a lot of events which are PPV like pro boxing matches. ESPN covers it because it is relevant to the content that it's user want to see, not because they are going to profit from it. 2. It is unfair to MLG specifically especially when GOM also has events which cannot be embedded in a teamliquid page. I know GOM has a low quality stream as well, but it's so low that it's practically impossible to watch (for me). 3. It's not helpful to the purpose of the teamliquid calendar. I personally like the calendar because it contains a very fast way to find out about the biggest sc2 events out there. If TL decides to stop putting the best events up there, then I see it becoming a less useful tool for me and many others. That's all for my opinion, please do the right thing for the visitors on this website. | ||
