For the record, I might have bought MLG Arena for $10.

This is how it's done. With $5 for a whole month I will be gladly paying, and I cannot imagine any sc2 fan with a credit/debit card who won't think this is a great deal. That, and also not alienating any of the other members of the community + any potential new fans that might want to check out this whole "esports starcraft 2" thing. PS: A bit more offtopic, Go go Foxer  If he plays like at MLG he's got a good shot! | ||

And the shit talking begins. Also, many people seem to be over looking when this event is occurring. April is not tomorrow, Idra has a lot of time to prepare for this event, and hopefully by that point he will conquer his greatest enemy, himself. | ||

"To help us recoup part of the costs, we have partnered up with Twitch.tv, and have come up with a compelling subscription-based deal of $5 per month for the 1080p and 720p stream. All other resolutions will be 100% free." Take that MLG ^^ IPL seems to raise the bar higher each event! | ||

So? This has nothing to do with the fact that trying out 20 dollars for a weekend was their first attempt at taking their product to a PPV model. Regardless of if it's easier or not for IGN to do this, they are going about it the right way. MLG could have easily tried 5 or 10 dollars for their first attempt and they did not do that. I have a sour taste in my mouth about MLG because of this, and am SO excited about IPL 4 now and the way they went about this. | ||

There's an awesome tournament, how about we actually discuss it. Ya I resisted saying something similar to this because I really don't want to contribute to it, but I can't help it now... it is getting really fucking annoying. Can people stop trying to talk down on things and just appreciate this tournament? | ||

"Ya, show those MLG Sundance guy how you do something for the fans as well as for esports" Facit: IGN keep It Going! | ||

no paywall, no "gotcha" events not covered by subscription, and no $20 for just a weekend. will definitely be giving IPL all my money instead of MLG. | ||

Well done IPL4 =) IGN is much bigger though. Newsgroup is the biggest news group of the world and their financial backing is Microsoft-like. So when IPL is starting to plan to be profitable, they have a longer time before the banks come knocking at their doors. | ||
