They really should only have two reasons for this: 1. something related to WCS and Blizzard or 2. they're planning something else for SC2 in particular. I wish they'd give us more than a tweet, at least to have a clearer picture of what's going on in their minds about SC2. | ||

MLG could revive a good portion of the fighting game community, however the fans are pretty toxic (the players themselves are mannered). I don't think anyone is surprised that people are angry when their favorite game to watch is getting the plug (from their favorite tournament none the less). However, the logic and reasoning, and all the conspiracy people toss about is fun to watch. Fighting games and MLG was a very small episode of what fighting games are. The FGC exist for almost 20 years, and has always been a separated case. Because it's an offline game, it's something that come from the arcade, it's something that manage itself because everything is community made. It's very hard to compare that to which games MLG usually run. | ||

Compendium and MLG are completely different. Compendium is an optional way to support Valve and the players alike. It also comes with a bunch of cool stuff. MLG tried making PPV events in SC2 with 8 players, has nonstop Doritos commercials, 480p streams, and money grubs at every possible corner. That's why I don't like them at all, because other tournaments just do it better. | ||

Call of duty ghosts will be out, but CoD doesn't attract the numbers SC II does. Maybe the next Halo Maybe Dota 2? I would love to see more dota 2 lan events. I still really don't like how blizzard is handling the wcs. WCS AM is all korean just about, which kills Correct me if I'm wrong but CoD had 50k viewers last MLG, I don't think SC2 got that many more than that. | ||

MLG is trying to make money and isn't back by "steam sales" to fund all their efforts. Compairing the two is not really fair on any level. | ||

Anyone who thinks that are seriously deluding themselves. As low an opinion as I have about MLG, I can't possibly imagine that they would be that stupid. They've opened themselves to a whole lot of badwill. Coming out later and going "ha ha ha, just kidding, we'll have something after all" might make people go "yay I'll watch MLG", but it will make them go "yay I'll watch MLG, those wankers". | ||

Blizzcon is being held Novermber 8-9, with the championship that weekend. Why hold a SC2 event after the world championship? It seems a little redundant. This fuckin' guy. | ||
