People that paid already will know where to find them, people that haven't paid can't view to begin with. Looking at the demographic of MLG viewers it also isn't likely that there would be a lot last minute purchases, considering that the value for money would then be even lower. | ||

There'd be no way to compare supposed 'bang for buck' for each tournament. That's why I didn't count the ability to watch GSL free, nor the main tournament of MLG, only paid premium GSL vs MLG Arenas. =/ Anyway I'm off work now so no more boredom for me :D So its an absolutely meaningless comparison. | ||

They really want people to spend 35 dollars on their Gold pass per Year and about 80-100 dollars to watch their arenas? Wow... thats a low point | ||

They aren't blacklisted permanently, just as long as they provide a free stream or pay w/e TL was asking. Someone previously said it before as well when TL would link to the free Red and Blue streams on the right hand side but, not the Black and White(beta) streams which were part of the subscription. I wondered at the time why that was the case and now it makes sense. The calendar for me lists events and streams that I could literally just click and watch, not click and take out my credit card to have the possibility to watch. Good move by TL. Lines have to start being drawn and this is a good one. | ||

You still get those 4 events. GSL charged for other events outside the main GSL and GSTL. I can't not stay up to 3am every night and watch for a couple hours when I have to work at 8. Realistically my only option to watch GSL is to pay. This thread itself is advertising the Winter Arena. Makes up for the loss of not being listed for free. | ||
