$30 for those interested in the whole season is good. $20 for the second Arena only is too much in my opinion.. I guess they are trying to get people to buy the whole season and were happy with how the first Arena sold. Those who can't watch all events for whatever reason don't have a good option though.

I love the idea of having different pricing packages, and in general, the direction and leadership MLG is taking. I'm definitely going to get the whole season package for $30

Awesome, definitely getting the whole season package, even if I might not be able to watch some of the events...

Korean open qualifier brackets is pretty intense to follow along, btw...
interesting turnouts :x

I don't really like the whole blizzard top 32 thing, it just doesn't make much sense.

edit: but other than that I am really looking forward to this tourney, and I will probably be buying the $30 pass.

What makes me sad is that I dont have the bandwidth to watch sc2 in anything other than 240p. Which means I cant even buy this stuff even though its priced so great (

I'm REALLY not pleased with how they're treating their gold members. Like Nony, I love watching games live...which is exactly why I bought my gold membership. MLG isn't just charging me $20 for Arena, they're charging me for Arena after I've already paid for it. That's no bueno.

And I'm so tired of this pseudo charity mentality we're expected to have about esports. "These companies need to make money to grow Starcraft so you're a bad person if you don't buy their stuff" is utter nonsense. You want a real business truth? If you can't price your product competitively then you probably shouldn't be in the market at all.


I couldn't have said it better. I'm not a gold member, but if I were, I'd be up in arms.

You have to give it to MLG though in one point. I'm certain they know that $20 is LOLtastically overpriced, and they're willingly letting this event's viership numbers going to shit, so they can come out for the next event all sensible-like.

"We listened to community feedback, and we admit that for the last event we charged a bit more than the average ESPORTS fan is willing to pay. That's why we are willing to take the fall for our beloved community (that we're not trying to a**r**e), and even if business is going to be tough now and this will put us on the verge of bankrupcy, we have made the decision to lower our prices for the next event to $19.99 and for gold members to 18.99. If you don't pay that, you're hurting ESPORTS!!!"

I don't see anything fair about that, maybe fair for mlg measures but not compared to the general tournament footage.. I don't understand why mlg has to be the only tournament to not stream for free, I mean premium passes for higher quality or earlier vod access can still be offered. Apart from that 10$ is still too much money for an Arena.
The competetive Starcraft scene is far away from being ready for pay tv, don't understand this at all and I think the people who make MLG are seriously money-grubbing.


Wanting to at least make a profit after years of not isnt exactly money grubbing.


Ahm... Growing like fuck due to SC2 and then trying to make a buck out of exactly that thing that kinda put you "on" the big map for me sounds like the definiton of money grabbing. FFS they even create entire new SC2 events just for the moneyz and kinda show the finger to their "root" games..... If that isn't money grabbing, what is? :D

Not that there is something inherently bad with it but... Uhm..

TBH, Im not going to pay for an event that isnt largely Korean, when KeSPA desides to go to sc2 I would gladly pay 15$ for a season, same as I do GSL, but its not really worth it to see the 8 EU and 8 NA members just autolose to koreans.

I used those two as an example of avg NA "pro gamers" that dont stand a chance against the actual top tier sc2 players (read: koreans). any random 2 NA players would have worked just as well.
