Can't wait for MLG to be back! This is gonna be siiiiiiiiiiiiiick, can't wait to watch. You might wanna mention the date somewhere in your post though, not everyone is omniscient like me and knows that it's the 1st weekend of April =P
|
Any word on soundproof booths?
|
Really excited to see this go down!

why do they always pick so expensive venues: 3 days cost roughly 500 Dollars? If you include travel expenses you have to make it to the 5th place to be split even. For european clans this is a rather limiting source if they want to send more than one player.

You don't have to stay there...I'm sure you can find much cheaper hotels close by and just commute to the venue each day.

Just because we offer those two hotels with a special rate, you do not have to choose to stay in them. Feel free to search around the venue to find cheaper hotel rooms.
I would suggest to get in touch with 3 other people, and split the cost of the hotel room, and it will be just under 100$ total for Friday - Sunday, or around 120 if you come in Thursday. Most of the players split the room with 3 other people, so if your pressed for money, I would definitely suggest looking into that.

Best way to do these type of events if to find out who else is going and split on room/transport.

I'm sooooo looking forward to this! MLG was a blast last year and I expect it even better this year.

Definitely!
StarCraft 2 will have their own main stage now which will feature many more seats as well for all the spectators!
Many more exciting details to come as well.

Nice!
I wonder if there will be some "sponsored players" (as announced by Sundance) at this event. Would be interesting to see who they pick!
|
wow can't wait for this! so many awesome tournaments in the near future =]
|
its just ridiculous that u have to promote overpriced hotels.
were talking about sc2 people, not businessmen
|
Wish I could make it but due to school I'll have to wait until its back in DC (or near DC) for me to be able to go *sigh*

As Deimos said, you're welcome to book elsewhere or room share.

Awesome news. I am looking forward to another exciting season of MLG. If only I was good enough to justify spending money to fly down and have some fun as a player. I will enjoy it from my living room though.
