People who think this is because of SC2 are funny. No doubt a sponsor stepped forward after the last MLG LoL event. CLG vs TSM finals, epic games all through out and huge numbers I'm sure. Amazing news anyway. Last MLG was really good for LoL at least, didn't watch too much sc2. | ||

So no, this really was not a realistic option for them before, and now it is because of League of Legends. Take that for what you will. | ||

---- If you paid any attention at all and understood how the world worked, you would see that because of the groundbreaking amount of viewers at the Spring Championships, yes the Championships, not the arenas, MLG was able to secure additional sponsor(s) to support their arenas. If you are supporting something it is in your interest to have the largest number of people viewing it possible, hence the removal of PPV. The sponsor subsidises MLG in return for their sacrifice, allowing the arrangment to benefit both sides, as well as benefit the viewer, you. This has absolutely nothing to do with the the success/failure (Believe what you want, but they have publicly declared that the previous arenas were successes) of the Winter and Spring arenas. You have to understand that each business is run differently and on a different set of sponsors and a different sized budget with a different sized viewer base. For some tournaments freemium is practical, and for others it simply is not. MLG has gotten to the point where it now makes sense for them to offer their arenas for free because the benefits they receive from their sponsor are now more significant than the money they would receive from PPV. | ||

LoL is a completely different game from dota 2 so easy for computer game noobs to start playing and get addicted so easy for on-facebook-all-day-computer-nerd-females to play it so guys feel like playing it could get them chicks massive numbers people playing the game plus teams like CLG and TSM being the main stars since koreans dont dominate it as badly and since riot advertises every tournament a ton and LoL has a much higher playerbase than sc2 makes it more likely for massive amounts of western audience to tune in and get addicted to the drama of the pro scene and create emotional connections to the top teams so it has huge viewer numbers damn i hate you LoL for doing everything right | ||
