they've only had PPV for 4 months... And if this sponsorship didn't happen, its possible they would still be PPV.

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

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.
