@MrAdamAp: We are excited to announce that our next #MLG Pro Circuit Championship event will be held in Columbus, Ohio, November 22 - 24. The date comes after Blizzcon on November 8-9, after the WCS 2013 season has concluded. This information also seems to suggest that there will only be three live MLG events in 2013.

Anaheim was great (even though it was supposedly toned down due to WCS), hopefully they can get back in top form for Columbus! | ||

Nope because bitter said on sotg that nasl will be doing the season's finals when it's NA's turn to host. MLG's only doing 3 champs events this year instead of 4! MLG is dying guys!  | ||

Which also has more information than this one. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=419588 Yeah, I think it's important to notice that this will be the next Championship, not the next event. I don't think they plan on doing nothing for 5 months, as Sundance's second tweet implies. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

IPL6/MLG dallas... Then i didnt plan on anaheim even having an open so I couldnt save with the notice, or even get a player pass lol. Hoping for a competitor pass for this since i have everything in order, planned and stuff for this event already. 5 months to train for it as well =D | ||

A 4 man finals of some online tourney?They probably got something bigger going on if they skip a complete championship season, judging from Sundance's tweets during E3 they might have gotten some kind of deal with sony or microsoft to run a tour in the next few months to promote one of the new consoles. I doubt they would have any PC games there, even LoL is small fish compared to that. The good thing is that they have some plans in advance now with a november date set in stone, but we'll have to see what games does that involve. | ||
