Seriously, be happy this is happening, just a little while ago, it was much smaller, even with much less competition. 1) So we shouldn't care about the status of a tournament at all? Tournaments should just go "yes we are having a tournament" and we should be happy with it? 2) It's only disillusionment if it isn't going well and people don't see that-with both IPL folding and presumably NASL bowing out, alongside a shrinking non-WCS MLG, how do you expect to say that it's going well? When MLG Spring championships 2012 gave more prize money for 1st/2nd/3rd and was only $26,500 off from total prize of a WCS season, with the addition of both MLG Spring Arenas you get $37,300. Oh, and the championship had a 128-person open bracket in addition to the championship groups! :o 3) No. | ||

MLG is trying something, they are doing an open bracket smaller affair as of right now. Personally I think that this is going to be a great idea once they change a few things. Add a couple more streams, get some great players in, and they have a tournament. Also, I feel like the prize pool shouldn't be a worry for us as fans. All we need to do is tune in.

C'mon mate, I'm not agreeing with the doomsayers, however, you can't honestly believe that the scene is where it should be only 3 months into hots. I don't know what the solution is, but having a 128 player open bracket $25k tourney with 1 stream only showing a small portion of the games blah blah...you see where this is going? I agree, we should happy hots is at mlg at all! But we shouldn't be happy about the 'niche' we're being squeezed into. | ||

Sure, MLG could do a much better job of having multiple streams going with such a large pool of players. However, it's also great to see them bring back the open bracket! Everybody should be able to sign up so long as you're in Master's league. | ||

The remaining competitor passes which were open to the public sold out in less than a min.  Aw, is it usually sold out? Thinking of driving down there I don't think it was last year. It was packed at times, a lot of people were sitting on the floor. Tickets are $35 online, $50 at the door. | ||

One stream is just not enough for early stages. Sure the quality of games might not be the best, but entertainment value would be there. In the worst case scenario provide a 2nd stream without any commentary at all. | ||

I wouldn't invest a dime in this industry lol. in 45 days, we will know if redbull stick with sc2, or if life will go to any kespa team. | ||

MLG has fucked up WCS NA to the point where I'd rather them just bow out and let NASL take over. They have shown repeatedly that they're happy with the production values of a year ago when ESL/Dreamhack/Ironsquid/fucking HSC and GOMTV regularly shit all over them, and they've done nothing but act like we should be grateful that they're giving us games to watch. MLG aren't some harbingers of greatness that will save the NA scene or SC2 in general. To say we should be thankful of them is ridiculous. I'll be thankful when they manage to go a tournament without resting on their laurels or half-assing it and acting like we're the assholes for wondering when they will actually keep their promises for once. | ||

I agree, we should happy hots is at mlg at all! But we shouldn't be happy about the 'niche' we're being squeezed into. I'm definitely not saying its the best situation ever. But right now, at least in the thread, I'm seeing some of the sc2 is dying and destiny was right, etc. people. I'm not going to say I wouldn't change anything about this, I am going to say that if we keep positive and ask for changes maybe they will come, rather than the bitching that we are seeing. I get the dissatisfaction, but I don't get the bitching; if we are unhappy, rather than complaining or saying sc2 is dying, we should ask them to make changes. | ||
