I wish MLG good luck in finding its thing/soul but I will not be participating in this event. The competition over my attention is just too hard for a package like this. This, how many different concepts did we see this year? First season (winter) 1 PPV Arena, second season 2 PPV arena's, then suddenly MLG doesn't need PPV because there is a sponsor so back to semi PPV like the championships but back to 1 Arena and now the Arena's are gone and they jump on a PPV online tournament airing replays... Que? It's a big mess, but i guess MLG loves attention or something | ||

I would expect more changes to happen before anything becomes "standard" | ||

As we can see on these forums there are alot of "esports patriots" who are on the noble mission to develop esports with there wallets, no matter what. Either you are with us or you are against us! charming really... Well yes, in this case it is that simple. You either buy it, or you don't. | ||

Get your marketing right. Say 'MLG will feature the most popular MOBA game' since that is actually what it is. Well that is not even true. http://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/10i3sx/so_you_thought_dota2_was_getting_large/ TL;DR: league has 1 billion games played in 3 years, one chinese dota1 client already has almost 5 billion games in this year. | ||

MLG know exactly how to identify themselves. They're the only tournament that's kept that consistent since 2010. They are trying to be the MLB of gaming. Whether you LIKE the way they identify themselves is a different matter entirely. | ||

I just dont get it, im not saying there should be a standard or something but chancing it every few months is ridiculous and it's not really showing any long term thinking. | ||

It's entertainment not charity, and the only thing that will make eSports grow is if the people producing it get it to bigger audiences, which you think would be priority number one. PPV events aren't helping eSports grow, they are for lining MLG's pockets. "It's entertainment not charity" "So I shouldn't have to pay!" Ermm.... | ||

I probably wont buy it just because most of the match ups look really one sided. I suppose there is always a chance for an upset No, he's up against every single KeSPA player... -_- It's 24 matches, each of the 24 non-KeSPA players plays each of the 24 KeSPA players. | ||

I like what mlg is doing and they probably couldn't offer the content that they are providing us without there being some sort of user end costs involved. We get to watch kespa players play, and its only a 10$ ticket, are you seriously bitching this bad over a 10$ ticket, when mlg is giving us an amazing product. Also thanks to TB for his commentary on the matter. | ||

Doing different kinds of tournaments means they can't "identify" themselves now? In what universe? The brand, the presentation, the production and the overall style are all consistent. They do not have a problem when it comes to identifying themselves, they are the professional MLB style league aimed at the more hardcore fans. This tournament is yet another example of that, a PPV with some of the best in the world, aimed at the hardcore fans. Sounds like they know exactly what they're doing. | ||
