Edit: answered above, thanks. That's actually awesome, even with cross server lag Kespa player games in NA timezones is great. | ||

But... no DotA2? I just don't get it. I know LoL is the most popular, but I would rather see MLG try and support the DotA scene. LoL has enough support from Riot. | ||

Yes, Axslav is smart as fuck when it comes to SC2, but he is kind of boring to listen to. So is Axeltoss. I think they can talk about the game well, but for entertainment to people who do not follow the scene/play the game very much, they aren't that exciting to watch. I will watch the good matches between two great players, but if it's like MC vs like LzGamer or something and MC will just 2-0 him, I probably won't watch. If it's like Stephano vs Taeja, yes I will watch. | ||

Not looking forward as much for the Proleague thing; the format just doesn't interest me and I probably wouldn't even watch that if it was free. | ||

MLG come across as very arrogant they seem to think they're the biggest tournament over the likes of ASUS and Dreamhack who use free HD streaming and much better live audiences and MLG events are riddled with boring downtime, online tournaments are becoming less interesting and becoming less popular (TSL4) also when 2 different continents are involved it's impossible to achieve an even level playing field. The Kespa players will sometimes lag on NA servers and vice versa, how are wastern Europeans meant to match up against Koreans without the latency issues? - Will the games even be played live?? I'm guessing not. The fact MLG are again sponging from the SC2 community using Kespa players as a hype like it's some UFC or WWE event in my eyes puts MLG the lowest of all the tournaments People may argue $10 aint alot but there's people not as blessed out there and who can't afford to subscribe to VODs or use their daily change to buy boosts on League of Legends. My second issue are the casters.If I were to pay, I'd expect State of the art casters worth paying for, Tastosis, Apollo + Wheat or even Bitterdam. I like Axslav on the analysts desk at MLG events but it doesn't make him a good caster | ||

To people who think it is terrible that they charge $10; The amount you pay for something is related to how much value you think something is worth. I doubt you think any of the free streams you watch are worthless. The main reasons those are free is because there needs to be free content for newcomers, and there are so many streams offering similar content right now that if one of them puts a price to theirs, all the viewers will shrug and go to the other similar streams. In this case however, MLG vs Proleague is UNIQUE content that offers match ups that cannot be seen anywhere else. You cannot shrug it off and say "pfft, I will just watch QxC vs Flash on NASL free stream, or GSL, or IPL, etc." For the type of content they are providing, the market is not supersaturated and therefore there is no one out there to undercut them. The premium content they are referring to is not necessarily in production (live face to face, A level casters,etc) but in the unique match ups. I personally would very much like to see these match ups, and I find $10 a very fair price. | ||

But PPV model here for online tournament, probably casted from replays? Don't understand it. MLG Arena PPV there was reasoning behind it, not too sure I can see it for MvP tournament other than capitalizing on hype, amongst other things. | ||
