I feel like the editorial content on TL is more and more looking like an ad space for MLG. It's a shame, I've been registered here since 2003 yet in recent times I've had to use other sites to get proper coverage of some other tournaments.

I know MLG is pouring money to TL, however, in the end I think TL will lose out on this. For ultimately it isn't MLG that is making TL money, it is the viewers that are here. What you should always do first and foremost is to give the viewers what they want. Such as only having a countdown for MLG but no other tournament unless they pay you, that makes it worse for the viewers. Giving more attention to a small MLG pay-per-view invitational than a major open 100% free to view tournament (Dreamhack), makes it worse for the viewers.

Have a banner ad and let those who wish advertise there, but don't let money or advertisers effect your (editorial) content, I expect higher journalistic integrity than that.

You was on the edge of your seat for a game where neither player engaged for an hour and 15 minutes?
