The MLG Winter Season is about to come to an epic conclusion, and we couldn’t wait to share some of the highly anticipated details about the Spring Season for StarCraft II. There will be FIVE stages of StarCraft II competition in the Spring Season.

In the Spring we will be holding two sets of online qualifiers – one that is open to all, and a second that is invite-only.

Open Online Qualifiers – March 30-April 15 – Online Only, Not Broadcast

The season kicks off March 30-April 15 with the MLG Spring Regional Open Online Qualifiers. 128 players will compete in each region (NA/KR/EU). For the first time, we've worked closely with Blizzard to invite top Battle.net players to participate in one of our competitions. The Top 32 from each of the NA and EU Blizzard Grandmaster ladders will be invited to compete, and anyone else can register for the remaining spots. The Top 8 players from the Open Online Qualifiers will go on to compete in the Invite-Only Online Qualifiers later in the season. Registration will begin later this week, so check the site for details. These qualifiers will not be broadcast.

Spring Arena 1 – April 20-22 – NYC – LIVE Broadcast

The Top 8 players from the Winter Championship will compete live at Arena 1 on April 20 -22 in NYC. The Top 4 will get direct seeding into Arena 2, later in the season, a share of $10,900 in prizes, and guaranteed entry into Pool Play at the Spring Championship. The bottom 4 finishers will drop into the Invite-Only Online Qualifiers. Spring Arena 1 will be broadcast live.

Invite-Only Online Qualifiers – April 27-30 – Online Broadcast

From April 27-30, we will hold the Invite-Only Online Qualifiers, featuring: the 9th – 80th place finishers from the Winter Championship, the Top 8 from each Region of the Open Qualifiers, and the bottom 4 from Arena 1. The Top 8 from each Region of the Invite-Only Qualifiers will get all-expenses paid trips to Arena 2. This will be broadcast online and cast by some of the best in the business.

Please note: anyone who played in the Winter Arena but did not attend the Winter Championship will also be invited straight into the Invite-Only Online Qualifiers.

Spring Arena 2 – May 18-20 – NYC – LIVE Broadcast

Spring Arena 2 will take place on May 18 – 20 in NYC. This Arena will be very similar in structure to the Winter Arena. There will be 32 players: the Top 4 from Arena 1, the Top 8 from each Region of the Invite-Only Qualifiers, and 4 additional players that will be announced. The Top 8 from Spring Arena 2 will share $26,400 in prize money. 12 players from Arena 2, in addition to the Top 4 from Arena 1, will start in Pool Play at the Spring Championship, and the bottom 16 will start in Open Winners R5. This event will be broadcast live.

Spring Championship – June 8-10 – Anaheim, CA – LIVE Broadcast and In-Person Spectators

The Spring Season will end with the Spring Championship, June 8-10 in Anaheim, CA at the Anaheim Convention Center. That's right in Blizzard’s backyard, so perhaps there will be some surprises in store for you. Lots of exciting details will be released in the coming weeks. This event will be broadcast live.

This is a huge season for MLG StarCraft II. You will have a lot more to watch, and a lot more ways to watch, and we will tell you all about our new viewing packages later in the week.

Until then, thanks for your support, and get ready for a great Spring Season

Spring Arena 1 seems redundant, why not just seed top 4 from Columbus into Spring Arena 2 and 5th-8th into the invite only qualifiers?

Now I'm not going to be able to sleep at night, with that "That's right in Blizzard’s backyard, so perhaps there will be some surprises in store for you".

So basically the first arena is like a little mini invitational and the second is the same as the previous one?

Sounds great.

And the first qualifiers are for either guys not currently in the MLG system (like MMA, Hero, Zenio, Feast, Kas, Dimaga and many others) to get themselves into the system.

I don't know if this is good or bad but I had to re-read this 3-4 times to understand it, and what each event actually is and what it means, maybe a little complicated? Although one thing is indisputable, lotsa Starcraft.

It's complicated but once you understand it it's all pretty good/reasonable stuff.

I really hope they can fit some spectators in at the NYC events. Maybe make a raffle for gold members in the NYC area or something! It bugs me that there are so many pro gamers gathered close to home but I have to see them on the computer instead.

So Spring Arena #1 is a small scale invitational like Shoutcraft or DH Valencia. It'll probably be PPV but I'm hoping they keep it to $5, because the SC2 community will probably have a shit-fit if it's more than that.

It's still over 3 days with $10k in prizes and flying everyone in. They could justify $10 even.
