Very good.

Obviously, you need to be a sheeple to think it's because they wanted to make us fans feel better (what 99% people here thinks, even though they showed countless times how greedy MLG is) but it doesn't matter. Wish it would stay like that for a long time.

Good to see they finally decided to make it free again.... Now I'm just wondering how long it's going to stay this way ><

Again? The arenas weren't free in the first place.

Nevertheless, MLG bashers will continue to hate......

The whole "gets it" meme came out before he started the PPV only Arena's. So no, only now he finally gets it.

I'm at odds with this. I don't mind at all having more people being able to watch Arena's, but I do hope there's still going to be a paid section where you don't have to suffer the endlessly annoying advertisements.

Preferably even a proper subscription model instead of what it was now. Like a monthly/quarterly/yearly subscription for All MLG SC2 events.

But hey ho, I guess I'm the only one in this.

PC Games saving the nr 1 console league in the world. This is irony!

I personally stopped watching pay-only tournaments. I really never liked that business model and, as such, I don't plan on watching when they make the conversion to freemium either. Seems like a ploy to break more records to be honest... lol although I MAY have to catch the VODS of a few ridiculous match ups

Not the only one. I personally like giving money directly to MGL, rather be one of 1000 people who count as ad money for them. I don't think they have enough content to justify it yet, but if they had a studio like GSL, then we could talk subscriptions.

Great news, here's hoping they can support the events with this format.

TBH this is ridiculous. They should've just made the stream free all along.

It's a step in the right direction. Free viewing lets the more casual players to watch and get more interested in the game, while paid streams are only watched by the people who are already "into it" and willing to pay money.

This is awesome, though I didn't have too much of a problem with paying for them. IMO the Arena's I paid for were well worth the price of admission.
