EPTActually in my opinion, HQ stream, or no advertisements for 5-10$ would be faaaaaaaaaaar better than that one. And trust me, they have so much money for sure not from those few tickets.
How did you watch MLG? - Page 39

Even though I think $15 was fair I'd say $10 would be a better price point though. Or maybe $12 (believe it or not things don't need to go in increments of $5). The content is pretty dense so there's really no way you're watching every part of the content and few people are willing to give up their whole weekend for a tournament either. | ||

There is no analogy in that. If you want an analogy, say: If you leave your window open (no curtain), you cannot blame someone who looks inside. This is another analogy: If you read this you are an idiot. | ||

And regarding the house: if you leave the door open, no insurance will pay in case you get robbed. | ||

However, when it told me that it was PPV I didn't have the budget to get it. So I turned it off. Didn't know that I was exploiting something but I'm glad that I didn't continue to cheat the system. In my opinion it makes sense that MLG would try and get some revenue going from the stream. After all, thats how GOMtv gets a good chunk of profit from. If you want something to continue you have to show your support, and you can do that by "investing" your money in MLG. I could rant about this forever but you guys have probably already said a good amount...  | ||

Well, it was not really an argument as there was no proof that the product is inferior before the event (not saying that it was, I really enjoyed it but a cheering live audience was definitely missing). But yeah, I agree that trolls should be punished equally. | ||

I loaded up the site with Firefox and the stream was running in 1080p instantly. I was NOT using privacy mode, any add-ons or whatever. Infact, I wouldn't have used any trick method to gain access to the stream. It was certainly nice being able to watch games in FPV and be able to hear commentary on top of that. You feel a lot closer to the action compared to gsl. I didnt have time to follow the tournament though, so I only saw like one game of oz vs drg. I think I would pay for something like that, but certainly not 20 bucks for 3 evenings. For that money you can almost get a whole month of premium football with 10 times the production value and without any lag. Not that I would want to watch football, but 20 bucks is way much for watching a tv show for 3 evenings, no matter how nice it is. If you can't share the fee with friends and you are not some rich dude, this is just not an appropriate sum having to spend on something like this imho. | ||

It could honestly have been an online tournament for what it all looked like in the end. It was so far below the standards set by MLG championship events that I don't know how anyone got it in their head that this would be worth paying for. | ||
