Hard to get excited over an event lasting 3 days with only 8 players, with 2 days of playtime purely for seeding.

MLG_Adam, will there be paid twitch streams, or will we have to use the 'normal' ones?

I like this deal much better than the winter version. I payed the 20 dollars for the winter arena any way last time, but I feel like ten dollars is a much smaller pill to swallow.

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.


Please dont. This will be so boring. IMHO you are just trying to hang on "unsuitable" casters because you like them personally. I mean why watching games with casters that dont comment on strategies, then watching it AGAIN with focus on strategies? Thats a waste of time (maybe thats even whatch you are aiming for, with only 8 players).

I mean you hav what i takes to watch the game LIVE with good strategy analysis. You got Grubby and qxc. They alone are entertaining and good in analysis. Sheth is good too (i only saw him once casting for NASL, therefore i cant say too much).

You put those "analysists" with 1 caster and let them cast the games. I really dont get it.

Pay 10 dollars for a small 8man invitational and at the same time competing with Dreamhack who will have a huge live audience bigger prices and just as good players and all free in HD. I really dont think MLG can compete here

I feel MLG did a huge mistake doing this at the same time as Dreamhack

They aren't going to go through the whole game again. I assume it'll be similar to what we had at the last arena but instead of getting Tastosis' thoughts on the game we'll get QXC/Sheth/Axslav's, with the replay being used to highlight certain points in the game.

I bought the last one, and I have a gold membership, but I think I'm going to have to pass on this one. 8 players is kinda limited (even if they are great). And frankly I enjoy seeing foreign hero's in showdowns with koreans. Even if they do lose 90% of the time. Watching Ret, Demuslim, or anyone else really do well is where the real joy is for me, and I know im not the only one.

But best of luck MLG, I hope this one is as big of a success.

i know they wont watch the whole game again, but still its waste of time.
Why letting Rob and JP cast a game, then ater ask for strategy analysis from qxc etc? I mean qxc has proves to be fun, entertaining and good in casting (probaby even better than most of the "pro casters").

So why JP or Rob combined with qxc, etc?

8 players but 18 hours of content? Don't see how that works out without spending half the time watching paint dry. I am glad you guys are trying things, and I hope MLG succeeds because 2011 was awesome, but so far 2012 has left me underwhelmed, either overpricing the first event (where I voted "no" with my money) or having an OK price point, but no content to speak of.

I'm definitely going to say no again, but I think even if the streams were free this time, I wouldn't bother to watch. The arena itself just doesn't seem exciting. Sorry, but good luck getting things figured out and hopefully I'll happily be shelling money out to you all soon.

There are 14 hours of pool play with 2 streams, so 28 games, so assuming 1 hour per Bo3 there is one group with all 8 players.

The bracket is hard to guess what it will be but there are 4 rounds and a max of two streams. My guess is that top 2 from pool go to winners bracket, 3-6 go to loser's bracket, and 7-8 are eliminated.

Then round 1 is LB round 1 (3 vs 6, 4 vs 5).
Round 2 is Winner's Finals (1 vs 2) and LB round 2.
Round 3 is the loser's bracket finals.
Then the fourth round is obviously the grand finals.

This might be too simple for MLG's tastes but it's my best guess at their format.

Even though I understand some of the crisism, I feel there should be a bit more appreciation for what we're getting. So many negative 'why this why that' comments, it hurts my eyes reading it.

Thanks MLG, and all the other events - for pushing E-Sports and SC2.
I like the idea with 3 players for in-between analysis and having the 4 streams just for real POV action.

The only thing we could 'complain' about imho, is having the luxury problem : (at least) 3 great events, MLG/DH/Day9 AHGL on the same weekend. Doesn't anyone remember when we couldn't watch jack $!#@ ? We've grown fast into having big events very often - and should be a bit more appreciative about it.. (read: complain less).

i'm really interested in axslav doing analysis. he always has such insightful comments when he streams, can't wait to see him in a professional setting.
