Good news, hopefully MLG is past their " tough times " that they had at the start of the year.
|
Not sure 100% if hes going to considering MLG had break through records at Anaheim. I hope its free, but I hope they are not getting to ahead of themselves
|
That's great news. MLG has gained another viewer in me.
|

That's what I got from the quotes. Perhaps OP shouldn't imply "free from now on."

Well then, my broke ass will be watching arenas now.

Glad they are free now, I had membership but like to know everyone can watch!

PPV lowers the exposure of an event, and I think MLG knows that this hurts their bottom line with sponsors. Arena LR threads were short and the events did not receive a lot of coverage. Sure, they get money out of it, but for sponsors exposure is money.

I would say not really, since a lot of people still are willing to pay for the content. I think MLG is presented with a big opportunity so they take it.
That, or because of you cannot charge for LoL so they have to do a free arena for LoL, which in turn forces them to do the free Arena for SC2.
