Until a sponsor comes in and fucks that up. Obviously some sponsor changed the rules on how much money MLG gets. The sponsors they had with the money they got lead to the Arenas being PPV or not existent at all. This new sponsor money just gives them more money than we can give MLG through PPV. | ||

Generally speaking where both SC2 and LoL are going on at the same tournament LoL has far superior numbers then that of SC2. I love both games dearly though to deny that fact is just ignorance. I remember at I believe IEM Hanover or the one in Eastern Europe can't remember the city name LoL had over 100k viewers while SC2 had about 35-45k which is less then half. It is actually quite possible that the reason a sponsor with the amount of money to make Summer Arena free or freemium I guess jumped on board after seeing the outstanding numbers that LoL draws towards a tournament. This is in no way a bash on SC2 seeing as how the game has thrived for 2 years already and I see no reason to believe that it won't continue to but the sheer number of viewers LoL can bring to a tournament is likely enough to get almost any sponsor on board to pay a boatload. | ||

The fact that it gets free streams only makes me want to pay even more. Why? a) They'll eventually have to work harder to make premium content for people paying, so it'll be more awesome b) More importantly, the fact that they pass on any growth they see directly to the community. So because of b), if you have the bucks - keep giving them to MLG. Keep growing esports and SC2! <3 MLG | ||
