MLG seems to always put on a deceptively good showing in Columbus. Not only was Columbus the first venue for Koreans to play in an international tournament, but it seemed to be the place where MLG put on its first really good production...which it has since carried and expanded upon in more recent venues. The downtown isn't the busiest metropolis you've ever seen, but in the times I've been there, I've always been pleasantly surprised by the people, the cleanliness and the access to quirky but great shops/bars/etc. Needless to say, I can't wait for MLG to come back to Columbus!

Even if it's like 70 degrees out in Columbus it'll be way colder than it was during Anaheim this weekend.

I'd love if Columbus was 70 degrees colder, not just at 70 degrees.

Hauling tons of photo gear from the hotel to the venue sucked in that heat/humidity :X

Well yea especially considering we're currently trapped in a record high heat wave in the Western US.

Even if it's like 70 degrees out in Columbus it'll be way colder than it was during Anaheim this weekend.

Given that it's in late November, 70 would be in record high territory.

Interesting how they went from one extreme to the other. Anaheim was very little notice ahead of time, Columbus is 5 months notice.

We're never getting another MLG in providence, huh.

I know right? I freakin' had to miss the only one, and it was an amazing event, the most watched event for a while.
It really doesnt make sense. The northeast/New England has been screwed out of having events, and its also the most populated area in the US. Its always Columbus, Dallas and Anaheim (sometimes twice in one year).

Plus the MLG Studios is in NYC, so I feel it would be easier to organize and put together a large event if they were closer than like 1000+ miles away from the venue.

Interesting. The 28th is Thanksgiving, which is a HUGE family holiday for Americans. I'll be interested to see how many Americans go and/or watch.

Do note that Dreamhack Winter is always the last weekend of November, so that it's during the American Thanksgiving is not something new.

What the hell i read a few weeks ago they pretty much confirmed a Florida event this year guess not very upset wanted them to come to Orlando who in gods green earth wants to go to Columbus nothing there but the tourney Orlando has more tourist attractions than anywhere plus the tournament it literally makes the event a true vacation not just a trip to watch a tournament doesn't make sense i feel fan attendance would be much higher in Orlando than in Columbus OHIO like what a random state i understand MLG got big cause Columbus was the first time Koreans really started coming but come on switch it up and pick a more attractive venue its Ohio my mom did her Med school residency in Columbus for 5 years and said it was the most boring place to live the second she was done she was gone so who wants to voluntarily go there not me thats for sure been to Sandusky Ohio before to go to Cedar Point literally the only thing there and if it wasn't nobody would care about Sandusky or any city in the area surrounding might as well hold it in Omaha Nebraska or Sioux Falls South Dakota or some other random farm state with nothing in it stick with major cities LA/Anaheim,Orlando,Dallas,New York, and wouldn't call Seattle major but big northwest city and clearly more significant than COLUMBUS OHIO I just don't understand sorry for rant but was very upset at this news

So... only 3 live MLG events this year?

Well I guess quality > quantity, I was pleasantly surprised by the relatively good production of MLG Anaheim. Looking forward to Colombus!
