Full news report with pretty pictures at MLG:
http://www.majorleaguegaming.com/news/spring-scii-arena-1-broadcast-details/
Players:  MKP,  DRG, Heart,  HuK, PartinG, GanZi, viOLet, MC
Casters: Artosis, djWHEAT, Tasteless, JP, Rob Simpson, Grubby
Analysts: Axslav, qxc, Sheth
Observer: Adebisi
Broadcast: seven streams
- The Central stream: a highly-polished production featuring half the matches of the tournament.
- The Gameplay Stream: a fast-paced, all-action stream, featuring the other half of the tournament's matches.
- Four POV streams: one for each player who's competing on the Central and Gameplay streams.
- The Dr Pepper Ultimate Access stream: free to everyone, all weekend long. The stream will feature interviews, analysis, behind-the-scenes coverage, and a lot more.
Schedule:
- Friday: 6:00 - Midnight Pool Play
- Saturday: 2:00 - 10:00 pm Pool Play
- Sunday: 2:00 - 6:00 pm Bracket and finals
Pricing:
The first match aired on each of the two main streams will be free. To get access to all of the rest, you'll need one of two things:
- A Spring Arena 1 PPV Pass. This pass is $10 and you'll soon be able to purchase them right in the player on the live page.
- A Spring SCII Season Pass: A much better deal. For $30 ($15 for Gold Members) you get full HD access to Spring Arena 1, the Invite-Only Online Qualifiers, and Spring Arena 2. Paying for each of these events individually would cost you $50. Check out this infographic to see how Season pricing work.

Analysts will sit in on main stream on the analysis desk to post game analyze specific race match ups. For example:
Huk vs DRG would have Sheth and Axlav
MKP vs MC would have QXC and Axlav
Etc.

Rob Simpson and JP again? Why? Get Apollo or something, his amount of knowledge and casting ability is more than theirs combined. They have consistently been the weak link of MLG.

more casters+analysts than players at this event... would be nice to see MLG do this kind of stuff for the main events

The content now justify the PPV thing I think.
Grubby as a caster, 3 players bring for analysts, pov streams of players during games is some high production value stuff.
I'll wait to see if everything will go smoothly, but I'll probably buy a pass. ( If the bug making us watching for free is fix obviously lol )
And what's up with day9 casting so much less these days ?
|
In the past I have payed up for MLG subscription when I could afford it, but now I dont even get a low quality free stream when I cant afford it. Very lame MLG.
|
Curious how pool play is going to work with only eight players and a full bracket. Is it just for seeding?

Apollo is doing DH at the same time.
Because you know.. e-sport is big enough so MLG and DH keep putting event at the same time. *rolleyes*

Two streams for 8 players that plays over the course of 3 days? That is quite a few games per player.
