interesting, ill wait till the date comes closer to these ppvs to see what the player line up is before deciding to purchase or not. The winter areana was good, but lets be honest, one of these areanas i forget which one will collide with dream hack, On the last arena mlg might have been able to win out ASUS, but theres no way in hell people going to pay for mlg areana while they can watch dream hack for free on the same day. I will wait to see what the player line up is ( cause obviously dream hack will steal some) to make my decision.
I might watch both but yes Dreamhack is Dreamhack.

MLG Got my money for the first Arena and I was very pleased apart from small issues, looks like you will be getting it again!

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. [4] There are people who are willing to pay for this event to support MLG and eSports.
I agree with the rest of your post and I think that it is awesome that MLG can do PPV events but people should not be buying PPV to "support ESPORTS" but instead because they feel like it's worth it for them. If people start buying PPV because they want to support ESPORTS/MLG then I'm afraid that the PPV thing might look a lot better than it actually is, which isn't good in the long run.

Shut up and take my money. =P

This is one of this moments, where we can be happy that we have a great community who make all the event great.
Especially the Russian and polish sc2 community...
I see what you did there my friend :D

Sure the price is better but I still won't pay. I don't see why you can't provide a free stream like ANY other tournament, there is always free stream even if it's low quality.

Huzzah, glad to see the gold membership I bought will pan out and give access to the other events.
And to people bitching about not paying at all now, that's great, MLG isn't a starcraft charity and for esports to succeed they can't give everything away.

Indeed. <3 those Russians and Poles, MLG Winter Arena wouldn't have been the same without them. I'll go in for it this time though, now that I actually have the money

Why is the pricing so much better?
They have a new option "30$ for everything". The rest didnt change.
The new option is of course an improvement. But its still too expensive imo, especially if you can't watch everything (EU, other stuff).

Will probably buy the 30$ thing.

fuck this corporate shit... the only reason i got into esports is because it was the opposite of this... now they want me to pay to watch it and then beg me to buy there tshitrtst... if they want to make money that is fine but i will not be buying anything
|
Sounds fair, especially if you know what MLG does for the players.

30$ sounds pretty good for a non-subscriber
|
$30 for a season seems pretty fair. And the pricing for Gold members is much better.
|
i wish i was gold member... I cant buy Gold in Canada?

The opposite of this? You want them to give you money to watch? 
This pricing looks about perfect to me. Of course, I'd like to pay less, but if it wasn't for the fact that it seems I'll be traveling both Arena weekends this would be an instant buy for me, even if I didn't have Gold already. If I could watch MLG on my phone/iPad I'd probably buy it even then. :D

Well played, MLG. Enjoy my money.
