I agree. Also think about the SC2 scene without MLG. I always try and do my part to support even if it is a small contribution.

Calling in "MobA" and not "LoL" gives me a bit of hope. Just a bit.

10$ is such a steal for the amount of content that I get in return, hell I pay 10$ to go to the movies. People need to reallistically look at this and get over there self entitlement. 10$ is nothing and I'm a starving student.

I am definitely going to buy the PPV. Watching the kespa pros play against some of my favorite players is much too cool to pass up, and $10 is a great price for all that content!
|
Hmm this one's tough. Not sure if I'll be purchasing MvP. I'm leaning towards no, but it is tempting. It's really disappointing there's no free option. I already have enough sc2 to watch atm, but if this was free, it would instantly jump to the top of my list (certain matches at least).
|
Great another thread of broke assholes clamoring that MLG is a disgusting organization for trying to make a profit. I'm going to pay the $10 bucks because its less than 10 cents per hour of content.
|
How much is the PPV this time? I don't mind paying for one of a kind Kespa vs Foriengers vs ESF action long as its not something silly like twenty bucks (I'm broke now).
Edit: answered above, thanks. That's actually awesome, even with cross server lag Kespa player games in NA timezones is great.

Looking forward to results of StarCraft part of the tournament. LoL - like the game, not the tournaments.

Very tempted to not buy the PPV just because I thought MLG was not going to go down that road again... but the matchups will be pretty damn good. The prize money should assure that we see some good matches and strategies.
But... no DotA2? I just don't get it. I know LoL is the most popular, but I would rather see MLG try and support the DotA scene. LoL has enough support from Riot.

No Tasteless, Artosis, DJ Wheat, Day 9, Apollo, Rotterdam, Mr. Bitter, Frodan, Gretorp, or Khaldor? Sorry MLG, but it's online and there are no notable dedicated casters to entertain me.
Yes, Axslav is smart as fuck when it comes to SC2, but he is kind of boring to listen to. So is Axeltoss. I think they can talk about the game well, but for entertainment to people who do not follow the scene/play the game very much, they aren't that exciting to watch.
I will watch the good matches between two great players, but if it's like MC vs like LzGamer or something and MC will just 2-0 him, I probably won't watch. If it's like Stephano vs Taeja, yes I will watch.
|
Looking forward to the evenings with the qualifiers, Axslav normally has very good analysis of the games.
Not looking forward as much for the Proleague thing; the format just doesn't interest me and I probably wouldn't even watch that if it was free.
|
Got kind of a feeling PPV will backfire. The KESPA players are already starting to lose their hype because they're being exposed in both OSL and GSL. They arent as "special" as at Anaheim anymore. And with the other part being kind of a mixture of NA/EUs with seemingly nothing else in common than that they've played MLG..... I cant say Im too hyped. Also add in cross server and online play, you just cant compete with live no matter how you do it (look at TSL4).
That said, I honestly hope they do well and I hope Im wrong. Hopefully something good comes out of it!
|
Cant even watch live for fre lol. I'm not paying for what basically amounts to a qualifier tournament with second rate casters. KESPA and MLG could have put a great show here, but they won't get my money. Just me opinion.
|
PPV for cross server qualifier replay content. Wonderful. Really scraping the bottom of the barrel here. Not "premium" content sorry.
|
No disrespect but I'd like to be bold here because I think PPV is damn right outrageous
MLG come across as very arrogant they seem to think they're the biggest tournament over the likes of ASUS and Dreamhack who use free HD streaming and much better live audiences and MLG events are riddled with boring downtime, online tournaments are becoming less interesting and becoming less popular (TSL4) also when 2 different continents are involved it's impossible to achieve an even level playing field. The Kespa players will sometimes lag on NA servers and vice versa, how are wastern Europeans meant to match up against Koreans without the latency issues? - Will the games even be played live?? I'm guessing not. The fact MLG are again sponging from the SC2 community using Kespa players as a hype like it's some UFC or WWE event in my eyes puts MLG the lowest of all the tournaments
People may argue $10 aint alot but there's people not as blessed out there and who can't afford to subscribe to VODs or use their daily change to buy boosts on League of Legends.
My second issue are the casters.If I were to pay, I'd expect State of the art casters worth paying for, Tastosis, Apollo + Wheat or even Bitterdam. I like Axslav on the analysts desk at MLG events but it doesn't make him a good caster

If you think 10$ is nothing, then you are not a starving student. Sorry.

$10 is a bargain in my opinion. Much higher entertainment hours/dollar value than anything else I pay for.
To people who think it is terrible that they charge $10; The amount you pay for something is related to how much value you think something is worth. I doubt you think any of the free streams you watch are worthless. The main reasons those are free is because there needs to be free content for newcomers, and there are so many streams offering similar content right now that if one of them puts a price to theirs, all the viewers will shrug and go to the other similar streams. In this case however, MLG vs Proleague is UNIQUE content that offers match ups that cannot be seen anywhere else. You cannot shrug it off and say "pfft, I will just watch QxC vs Flash on NASL free stream, or GSL, or IPL, etc." For the type of content they are providing, the market is not supersaturated and therefore there is no one out there to undercut them. The premium content they are referring to is not necessarily in production (live face to face, A level casters,etc) but in the unique match ups. I personally would very much like to see these match ups, and I find $10 a very fair price.

PPV.... Some of us have wife, and children, and really cant justify paying 10 bucks for something with no value other than enterainment
|
Wasn't the PPV from MLG Arena's a way to help sustain the tournament with MLG paying for all the flights and other overheads? Which made it understandable to use a PPV model.
But PPV model here for online tournament, probably casted from replays? Don't understand it. MLG Arena PPV there was reasoning behind it, not too sure I can see it for MvP tournament other than capitalizing on hype, amongst other things.
