To those that are speculating that the arenas failed economically and combined with vocal outcry it forced our hand to change: you are far from the truth. The PPV model worked so well, we had a real leg to stand on to show this is a real business. This is great progress and we truly appreciate all of you helping us to grow (exponentially) from last season. Just posted some things on twitter around the viewing experience, but the bottom line is this: we want you to have the same reliable viewing experience for arenas that you have at Pro Circuits.

Updates to come, but they are good.

You know, having spoken to him a few times, I can say that he's actually a pretty brilliant guy who does care a lot about eSports. The main reason he gets a lot of flak is because he's also trying to keep it financially viable, and not just a money sink like so many other leagues out there.

I'd easily pay for more arenas but I love MLG for this <3

I was hoping as harsh as a response as the original PPV model received, that the freemium would receive an equally positive response (hopefully from those same individuals) and it looks like that's been the case.

Glad to see this model!

Glad to see that they were able to make this arena free. I loved watching the previous ones.

Starcraft should never become a PPV, I didn't pay for it but I'm not taking this as a 'We won' thing because Anaheim itself should of shown you guys how much of an audience you have on a free stream, there was even 10k viewers on the Liveon3 afterwards

Why is there not yet a CCsyph fan club? The savior of e-sports deserves that and more.

As someone who has been following MLG since when they were just Halo 2 and SSBM, I can tell you that they knew this. From 2006 and on you could watch every MLG event for free....




Still great news though. Freemium FTW!!!!

Sundance should learn that bragging about drinking like that isn't cool once you graduate high school.

I wish they would just stop doing the arenas, it really kills any hype for the MLGs when we get a stream every other week.
