76k. That is quite a lot. I really like the prize-pool-destribution, paying the top 16 will hopefully pull more europeans to MLG-Events.

Prizepool destribution really is good.

Hope the top europeans will still go to this even though they can't attend Winter Arena and get expenses paid.

Hype it up! Good to see prize money has increased. This should help justify the costs of travel for a lot of players. Brace yourselves, the Koreans are coming.

Fantastic prize pool! Great to see MLG always stepping it up.
I root for Euro Zergs, NA Protoss* and Korean Terrans. (Any North American who has beat a Korean Pro as Protoss counts as NA Toss)

How am I supposed to get a gold membership if the shop doesn't work? :/

Edit: I am asking because I want to buy one so I can get in early this year! :D

I love the increased prize pool. $15,000 for 2nd place is more than the whole prizepool for an entire MLG last year. It's still pretty top heavy though. The $20,000 between 1st and 4th place is an awful lot for 3 BoX series.

MLG is currently in the process of revamping our membership products. During this time, we have removed all membership passes from our online store. If you would like to purchase a membership in the meantime, Gold Membership cards can be purchased at your local GameStop (US only) and Toys R Us (US only). So if you have one near by, I'd suggest to go to the store to see if they have any MLG League Membership Cards.

That announcement will be made in the coming days/weeks.

Is it safe to assume that the early entry will still apply to Gold Membership? I plan on going to GameStop as soon as I am out of work today. I'd rather not buy one to find out there's a new Platinum Membership package that has the cool event perks. Thanks for the quick reply!

Just booked at the Red Roof and bought my spec pass.
Crowne Plaza (where I stayed last year, across the street) was saying that one bed rooms were booked for the weekend already, here's to some ridiculous conventions being there alongside MLG. Last year was haunted house operators.

I'm unable to say how the membership products will look once they are revamped.

Update - Gold members will have early entry
