The "thing you bought for $30" for MLG Columbus has to be the 1yr Gold membership, because that was priced $30, while a Columbus-only premium pass was $20. With the Gold membership you get premium access to all championships (the old-school MLG events like we had last week) as well as a discount for the Arena packages. | ||

 But does anyone still feel the Arena 2 and Championship should have dropped its one time price? I mean we didnt like the $20 last time why should we like it this time or did we just get used to the price? I like the $10 for the smaller arena though | ||

The GSL has better players. Dreamhack is a larger event (and is free). The IPL has better production values (and is mostly free).Instead of alluding to his yacht cruises if his PPV scheme doesn't pan out, or saying from one side of his mouth that MLG is a business, while out of the other the other begging for community support, Sundance should actually explain why his product deserves my money in this market. | ||

I don't want to sound confrontational, but I would like an MLG representative to explain why I should pay to watch their tournament. The GSL has better players.

Why should Sundance need to explain why people should buy it? People are already buying it, he doesn't have to do anything. Even now they are admitting they screwed the community and especially their own gold members with the first arena you dont hear a lot of people wondering about the business model from MLG. MLG is lucky they have the name but they are walking on very thin ice. Esports will only get bigger and bigger in the future and when a organization is smart enough to jump on the Esports train the proper way, then MLG has a big big problem if they keep this business model which there basically stuck to now. (we have seen this over and over in other sports, it's just a matter of time) | ||

Are you basically only going to have events for championships now? :/ MLG has decided that the best way to announce their upcoming events is to wait until two months before they happen to announce when and where they will occur. So much bad T_T | ||

(we have seen this over and over in other sports, it's just a matter of time) You're right in the short term. Right now, people are paying for MLG. But, you're also right that MLG is walking on thin ice. I would be shocked if the buy rates for Summer and Fall arenas grew appreciably. And, assuming MLG is still trying to peddle PPV in 2013, I would be surprised if buy rates didn't begin to fall. People won't keep paying for something that isn't worth it. MLG's tournaments and arenas aren't a great product when compared to other for pay entertainment. | ||
