MLG did the same thing to the halo scene and it completly destroyed the scene. Its a really good business model but a really bad growth model. The problem are if MLG gets so much power of the referral program that they can influence players and teams to participate in other tournaments. It seems MLG is playing hardball and it will only hurt the growth of the scene. At least 2 people are getting at what I was trying to say. but bit less aggressively than I was. Thanks guys | ||

I feel like 10 dollars is the perfect amount to charge for this, as well as a free low quality stream. I don't like the idea of a free low quality stream, it's better for people to just pay the $10-$15 for the premium content and leave the free LQ stream for the live events they do around the US. | ||

The arenas do not have a live audience, unless they announced that these will have a very very limited number of tickets? | ||

I'm have a Gold Membership and no I won't pay $15 with the discount. I can't sit and watch enough of the event to justify spending more than $4.99. I think MLG might have overshot the momentum they had and taking away the free LQ stream will prove to be a mistake. IEM/DH/IPL all have a free stream and there are enough good players to go around. My eyeballs will be on a free stream most of the time, but I will watch what I've already paid for with my Gold Membership and most likely will let it renew itself later this year. | ||

One per month seems a bit excessive to me, both for viewers and players; it also kind of loses the whole "special event" feeling. With that said, best of luck. Wasn't the point of splitting apart the main events, the fact that it was too crazy to run so many tournaments in a year? the solution to that.. is running more tournaments in the year? sounds like everything we heard was bullshit, and the reason they spaced the main circuit events was so that they could compartmentalize and sell more shit to us. | ||

If you're talking about Dreamhack or whatever I believe it was said earlier in the thread that the dates for both tournaments were announced on the same day so there's no way mlg could have known. They aren't trying to steal views from other tournaments. It seems everyone has similar ideas for what weekends are good Edit nvm you changed ur post | ||

DH now, Assembly recently and there was another event before I'm not going to search about. They could change it by communicating with event organizers. Others somehow don't run into the same issues (and if they do nowhere near as often). Besides I added - interpret it as you like... don't blame me on my opinion, I'm just putting something out there for people to consider. On a side note: are there qualifiers for the spring arena? | ||

I would not watch MLG anyway due to the hefty price, so I wont be missing out on anything. | ||
