As promised by Sundance (Co-Founder/CEO of Major League Gaming), we are offering Dallas HQ Pass Purchasers two options because of the technical difficulties in Dallas. Players can either opt for a free Columbus HQ pass (in this case, if you purchased a Dallas HQ pass, you will automatically receive a Columbus HQ pass), or you can request a full refund for the Dallas HQ pass. The procedure for both can be found HERE. We will be sending an email out to everybody that purchase the Dallas HQ pass with the instructions; however, I wanted to make you aware of this thread as soon as possible  Last edit: 2011-04-21 01:53:12 |

Are MLG taking any concrete steps to prevent the issues that ruined the stream in Dallas?
It might help people decide whether to get a refund or a free pass to Columbus. |

Of course we are taking steps to prevent as many of the issues as we can that occurred in Dallas. As MLG Sundance said in the apology, we will have some of the best professionals there to ensure it does not happen in Columbus and on.Last edit: 2011-04-11 23:32:36 |
