I'm very happy with how MLG is running things, and while deciding the brackets so early may not be possible - we still have a lot of fun. Thank you MLG. Between Spring Arena and DreamHack, we'll be watching Spring Arena. ** Edit: To the users complaining about 10-30$... That is a very small cost to watch these events. Events that cost a lot of money to organize. If it helps, visualize your proceedings going to the money needed to pay for the player prizes (such as the 4 'all expenses paid ' trips). | ||

No convention centre where it's being held at right ? Yep, just like it but less people. $30 for all the events is pretty fair and worth it I feel. | ||

My friends and I have our own SC2 Fantasy League, so the more time available to research players, the better.

If the freemium model isnt making them a profit (and its making no one a profit) and certain PPV events are making a profit then they will just cut those. | ||

IPL hit the sweet spot with 5$ and I would probably go as high as 10$(I'm broke) for the winter/summer events, but anymore and they would just be hurting their viewer count too much for it to be worth it. But I also understand running these events cost a lot and paying the players cost a lot and it's always like multiple hours of entertainment so it's a hard thing to call. | ||

we're going to have 14 hours of pool play between 8 players, and then we'll still have a winners bracket with 4 rounds, indicating that 8 players will advance. So what's the point of the 14 hours of pool play? | ||

Had the feeling of it being very rushed the last time around. I don't think it was as much rushed as the casters don't have enough knowledge to give in depth analysis, especially not if three of the casters are JP, Rob and Wheat and Tasteless, no hate to them but they are play by play casters. | ||

That makes sense, and I hope one day MLG will consider running the pool play in advance. | ||

a) offer a yearly pass I had no problem buying GSL yr but don't like being nickle and dimed to death or screwing around with paypal too much. Every time I spend money I don't like it, so you better get me all at once. b) specify exactly what events will be held and format. | ||
