Now we suffer from another kind of cancer and thats idiots screaming the game is dead, when anyone with a brain can tell that it won't die off until star 3 comes out in 2030.

Compairing the two is not really fair on any level. Nobody should feel sympathetic for how a company is making money. If other tournaments are providing good free content, MLG can do it too. I'm not saying they can't charge, because most tournies charge. But most tournies also have free HD stream and better content. | ||

MLG has always been behind in terms of storylines, production and most annoyingly downtime with the likes of ASUS, Dreamhack, IEM and GOM - Not including OSL here because their downtime is horrendous. The last event they did was pretty good despite the slapping it got after WCS NA but it felt they peaked to their maximum. Prove me wrong. | ||

Scott Smith @SirScoots 1 h You all can blame @MLG but I blame the people that should be fired over at WCS for actually making the scene worse. | ||

Blizzard have done nothing, preferring a hands-off approach as they say. The community can only take a game so far, especially when your home region is pretty much KO'd by WCS. MLG are doing whats best for business. And given that Blizzard seem to be happy to pit their WCS regional finals against TI3 this weekend, they're probably doing the best thing. | ||

MLG has never really made it on my list over elite triple A tournaments such as Proleague, GSL, Dreamhack, Homestory cup with many many more which did it allot better.So, at least for me, MLG never really were that great to begin with. MLG's player pool was always top notch but they had a lot of downtime between games and low quality stream. The old MLG's where foreigners actually did well vs koreans were great but since then it has become less interesting. | ||
