MLG Spring Arena is held in NYC. Last MLG i think they were at Liquids headquarters. I think it will be there this time aswell. So i don't know about that "book the venue" talk of yours. It's basically held in a flat in as skyscraper. | ||

MLG with your PPV is nothing I care about at all. Dreamhack however offer 7 FREE HD 720p-1080p streams, meanwhile people can't even watch your "Events" without paying. Just hope DH does not get any stupid ideas from your PPV. | ||

This isn't TV, where every corporation ever seen is a fortune 500. | ||

Both the winter and spring arena's have been held at MLG HQ in NYC. No Liquid HQ, no random flat in NYC. | ||

PPV is a new experimental idea, but at least you get free vods, unlike GSL. MLG organises two of it's new events on days other, big, tournaments are held. MLG introduces PPV while deliviering nothing more than (free) Dreamhack and you guys still talk bullshit about "MLG is trying growing E-Sports"? MLG is having offline events whiteout a live audience? (srsly?). To me that looks like MLG is trying to milk E-Sports, not like trying to "grow" it and thats why i don't like them. It's entirely possible i'm wrong, but i actaully don't care, i'm sure Sundance "gets it"... | ||

DH provides a free hq stream, twice the prize pool, has bigger following (just look at the thread sizes here on TL). And yet, through this stunt "win DH to qualify for MLG" you are trying to build a notion that MLG is the more prestigious tourney. I applaud your PR, and I am astonished that DH agreed to that. | ||

MLG has been around for a long long long long time and they've put in a lot of money into growing their tournaments. What they need to do now is prove to their many investors that they can be profitable. The PPV does this for them and provides them the opportunity to fly players and house them for the events as well as prove to investors (who can provide even more) that they can make money off of an investment into mlg. I don't know about you but that sounds pretty damn great to me. | ||
