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. | ||

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 | ||

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). MLG already had a meeting with Riot CEO about putting LoL for Anaheim, Announcement is gonna be this week. | ||

Guess Kotick needs more money for his $15 a month CoD:MW MMO he's been so hard over.

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. | ||

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! | ||
