It's over now so there's no risk of causing any damage. I figure a thread like this would be useful to MLG to help rectify issues with their future arenas.

Please be 100% honest.

Didn't pay or watch, since I spent the weekend with some friends from ireland. Really sad that I missed it after hearing how good it was though.

Didn't pay. Good thing too, because the "legitimate" streams were an embarrassment of heavy lag and games dropped from b.net.

so many ppl killing e-sport. wonder how much they spend on alcohol during that time - maybe more then 20 bucks?

either pay or dont watch, everything else is unacceptable. but mlg also has to do sth against that "privacy mode" free watching - i payed 20 bucks, it was a great event and worth every cent, and still i hate that i couldve watched it without paying anything just as well.

I paid and would do it again, just because of how amazing were both - production quality and games. (Will pay for another 2 arenas and whatever HD package they will give me for Winter Championship, just hoping it will be a little bit cheaper ^^)

You're a corporate shill, and its you that is killing esports by swallowing an inferior product and paying for it.

Where the barcraft option?


I would love to see that too. But I guess it's not relevant for this poll.
Looking forward to your pictures though :D

Have to say it was a fun tournament but not worth the $20. You can only ingest so many games in a short time. The GSL format is just easier for viewers. There were many issues over the weekend some were not MLG's fault, but a lot of work needs to be done to warrant this price.

I just think it is wrong to say that this product is not worth paying money for, but it's perfectly acceptable to steal it. If it really isn't worth the money they are asking for, then it isn't worth your time to watch.

*shrug* For the record $15 with MLG Gold.
