SWEETNESS! I've always wanted to watch the arenas, so happy they're free now >.<

Hope this method of revenue proves to be sustainable so esports can continue to grow ^^

Honestly I'm more concerned about MLG losing money and esports being hurt than I am wondering if my gold membership isn't worth much. I mean, I pay $30 a year and even if it just turns out to be a donation to MLG, their production and events are worth it. I just really hope they truly can afford this and that they're not shooting themselves in the foot if in the future they need to go back to a PPV model.

You shouldn't be concerned at all. Freemium model is the new way to go in the Gaming Industry. LOL has showed how to do it properly. I don't think MLG will hurt much. PPL who want to see content in HD will still pay for that.

Good, freemium is the correct model for eSports. Glad the proof came through for Sundance.

Free stuff is good stuff tho!

Still think Sundance made the right choice trying it out tho!

I'm just concerned with the amount of entitled people when it comes to esports, looking at some of the comments about this is pretty depressing.

It seems you watched that episode with a butt hurt mentally that you misunderstood what Sundance said thus thinking he lied to you.

Your conspiracy theories are hilarious to read though.


Are you capable of understanding english? I already gave you several direct quotes from that interview that where clear and direct lies.
Seems to me you have trouble executing critical thinking when it comes to a company, tell me, when the Federal bank of America loans the government several more trillion, do you believe it was because of love?
When BP goofed and had to pay billions in damages, do you think they did this because they're just great fans of nature?
I assume you believed the Americans when they said Iraq had WoMD's?

Same for Sundance, make a mistake, try to rectify it, albeit in a childish subversive method, but the PPV debacle proved subversive childish behavior seems to be his business modus operandei.

And about Dreamhack, they directly stated they would never go for a payed model, as unlike Sundance they havn't been caught lying or trying to fuck over the fanbase, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

Hey man, didn't you know that's how the McDonalds Dollar Menu got started? McDeez was making too much money from Big Mac sales so they decided to give away food for only a dollar!

I never bought a arena pass, the price was just too much since I'm always saving up money to go to a MLG Championship event. I'm just really happy that this event will be free I'll actually be able to watch live for once! I hope the numbers will be good enough to continue to have these events free to view

Though there are a lot of free streams, this is definitely good news and is a good way to show support for a successful high profit .

It should always have been free in my opinion, esport in general and SC2 specifically and MLG especially is not yet in a place where its worth paying for it. Yes I am mad that GSL isint free as well!!! *crying*

Seems legit.

I'm sure this has already been said in the 25 pages of posts, but this'll be a great boon for getting newer blood into eSports spectating. Also, those that now want to pay for it can now feel like they're contributing to the success of MLG rather than feeling that dreadful feeling of obligation of being locked behind a pay-wall.
