So Testbug made the final cut? Can't say I'm really disappointed I would have just preferred a GSL map ... one that has actually been played a bunch of times at the highest level.
-edit-
I do, however, respect that you modified Temple and Metal to make sure close ground is impossible and Shakuras is cross only.

Wow, I thought you'd have sponsors to get the price money up, not that there would be an enormous entrance fee that all together is 3k dollars MORE than the price pool...

The prize money was almost doubled from last year. In a single year, that is a HUGE difference.

Have you not seen the prize pool for the nationals?
Prize pool is perfect and be thankful. MLG doesn't give this kind of a big opportunity to other games besides the Halo platform. (Not bashing MLG)

Are you guys reserving pro passes again like before? I'm too lazy to go do the site thing again ~_~;;!
|
Did I read it wrong or is it $70 to play or $70 to watch?
|

their site's showing the spectator's pass as $20.. it's $70 to play

Starting spawns on Metalopolis and Shattered Temple have been modified to prevent close ground spawns.
Starting spawns on Shakuras Plateau have been modified to ensure cross-map spawns only. Wow this is what I had always wished for. I was always wondering why GSL did not change these maps like that to take out the huge random factor there.
As much as I am critical of the seeding system, I have to say the map pool of MLG is great.

Yes that is great, but with your kind of system I could just make my own starleague and let everyone pay 100 dollars entrance and have 512 spots and be all like "I HAVE A $50000 PRIZE POOL"
Then my tourney would have gone up an infinite amount since last year (there was none).
It's like poker. With bigger buyin, bigger pool but any shit poker site can have them.
It's not that spectacular that even with that many sponsors you make people pay $70 to be able to play. Makes me think that many of the not top100 will pass on a chance because the risk is bigger.

woohoo can't wait, love MLG.
when is the full seasons schedule gonna be announced? !!
|
umm, it's not 7 Pm EST...yet the passes are already listed on the site, AND it says they are sold out. >.> How did this happen?
|
They are not sold out. Must have been an error with the website or something.
|
i'm assuming that they're going to show sold out till 7pm EST and when that rolls around, you'll be able to get one. i'm not wanting to chance that
