I think this is awesome. I have a huge concern though because the players that are playing both tournament at the same time(which will be most) might get exausted from playing so many games. Also, if a player starts to tilt a bit then it'll result in them doing bad in both events

MLG has numerous times mentioned that Raleigh was the location of summer championship.

This is big news guys... seems to not have gotten much attention, but it's featured in the news panel on bnet NA and is a pretty big deal heh. It certainly says a lot about Blizzard's presence and involvement with this MLG season, and huge things coming up at Anaheim.

Well to be fair it was an exciting weekend with DH and MLG to take up everyone's time.

This will be an insane year in SC2, that is for certain.

Disappointed that TL is not featuring this at all! It kind of got buried in all the DH and MLG Arena business. I am hoping MLG will release more details soon as this event is literally a mere 6 weeks away. I am expecting a full arsenal of casters, production crews, and interviewers since there will be two simultaneous tournaments going on. I am assuming this tournament will be old school meaning that you will have to foot the travel/lodging bill if you qualify for national finals, continental finals, and world finals.

I actually believe Blizzard said that they would cover that.

Why am I not surprised Acti-Blizz is supporting the company with the PPV model? Guess Kotick needs more money for his $15 a month CoD:MW MMO he's been so hard over.


All trolling aside good for MLG, I'm too confused by all the PPV/non-PPV MLG models and packages to even tell if I even can watch this, but at least it's nice to see the whole e-sports scene growing with Blizzard actively supporting it rather than just quietly collecting money from tourney organizers behind the scenes

The partnership between Blizzard and MLG kinda implies that Riot will not be able to put LOL on the circuit. Blizzard is not only trying to grow SC2, but also trying to secure a spot for their new MOBA in order to compete with LOL(IMO).

Even if u are right, altho there are tons of other reasons they chose MLG, they are supporting a business model that helps grow major event-organizers like MLG. How about people stop asking for free stuff, and actually pay for what they get....did people expect SC2 to be free also? "... damn those Acti-blizurd guys for charging u for their work...and now these mlg guys? damn them all!"

Seriously stop with this. The price they ask now is ok. Back in winter arena the price was high..but now it's half the price and in time, the whole system will only get better + maybe they will have a free-stream also at the major event, i think.
U MAD BRO?

Extended series?


Not for the Blizzard event.


I really hope its not for both events. I think the community at large is tired of extended series. Thank you for not including them In Spring Arena #1. Fingers crossed Spring Championship is extended series free!
