So since there are only 8 players, would it be too much to ask for every single players POV to be streamed the entire event? You're already doing it for 4 players, why not the 4 left? So Huk fans can follow him the entire weekend and MKP fans can do the same. Then when their match gets on the main stage or secondary stage they can load that one as well if they would like commentary. Honestly it seems like a no brainer and I could see someone paying up just for that.


Every single match will be streamed, and every single match will have direct POV streams from the players.

So by streaming all players' direct POVs it's actually a real POV and not just locking the observer camera on the players using the in-game client, right?

I'm surprised and disappointed that MC's team SK, which is swedish, is letting him go to MLG instead of DH. Also Grubby is already announced as a player at DH so I don't know what's going on with that.


SK is not Swedish, they're German. Only their CS squad is ;-)

So everybody is playing everybody else in the pools right? Does this mean that every single game in the bracket play will be an extended series?

8 players for 3 days of action? Doesn't intrigue me.

Since when did pool play mean an extended series in the bracket the first time the players met in the bracket?

So I'm guessing the Race Specific analyst addition is approved by the community? The idea is that after every Main Stream match the analysts will discuss the replay with the main casters. TvP will be QXC and Axlav, ZvT will be QXC and Sheth, etc etc.


Its ridiculous in that you have more analysts than players, this whole event seems a bit stupid. I mean you went on and on about how these arenas were taking MLG back to their roots of throwing a great tournament together and you decide to do so by having an eight player invitational and making it drag on for over 20 hours...


Also why the fuck did Grubby of all people agreed to go to this over DH, very dissapointed.


You're going to have to refresh everyone's memory because no one will remember "going back to roots" because it never happened.

In fact the arenas have apparently been organized to be the opposite of MLG's roots. Grubby is going because he's American by heart.



Ok then "going back to what we do best - which is live competition", I stand corrected oh great rememberer of quotes.


Did you see the Winter Arena? It was immaculate. IPL4 and even the Winter Championship were practically jokes compared to the Winter Arena. These Arenas (so far, like one, nice sample size) have been the best weekend tournaments to date. MLG is continuing to excel and innovate, proof is in the pudding of Winter Arena. That's what live competition in a small, niche environment will yield.


Not sure what you're arguing here but I'm just trying to say that MLG has been known for throwing outrageous world class tournaments with tens to hundreds of players, rather than continuing the trend they throw 8 players in and hold a ridiculous group seeding system into a double elim bracket. Then after the 8man invitational is locked in they announce they're gonna spend a shitload of money to have a ridiculous amount of casters for such a small event.


Those live events for MLG aren't gone. They're still there. These arenas are side events. The # of casters really doesn't have much to do with the depth of the competition but rather the width which inordinately reduces the depth (having more casters than players, i.e. less players). A small amount of highly skilled competitors will have a higher competition mean than tens to hundreds of competitors with skill ranges few and far between.

I see I thought there was more overlap where not every single match would be streamed. Good to hear.

I wish the DH fans would stick to the DH thread, I looked through their thread and it seems like it is pretty much all people for DH, not butthurt MLG fans in there.

Looking forward to this event!

Definitely be tuning in, the amount of talent there is insane!

Might check out DH, but mostly for the DOTA, since their SC lineup is pretty weak.

Thats how all the other MLG's worked with players meeting in pools becoming an extended series in the championship bracket if they meet again.

Why is everyone mad at getting more games? I does sound a bit odd there is so much group play, but still I would prefer if it was only 1 stream but less matches, since this way, yes you can watch more matches, but i'm gonna know the result of those matches before the vods are up, so I miss half of the event.

I know from the Winter Arena, I watched some games, but I missed the vast majority and I didn't watch the vods of the ones i missed unless it was a really big match, since I already knew the result.

Also all the analyst are from USA? which means they're a lot cheaper to get there, same goes with djwheat, jp and robsimpson, only expensive ones would be Tastosis and Grubby, aswell as the players.

Everyone just keep in mind, if you think this is disappointing, it's extra, if this wasnt here, these 8 players would just be seeded into the current Spring Arena 2
