Wouldnt the amount of money from ads and sponsers go up as the number of viewers goes up? No gamble is a free one if this does not work your not going to get all the free people back afterwards myself included.

20$ for one short event is too much. If someone wants to see major sc2 events, this + gsl vod etc start to cost too much really.

So apparently, well from what I gleaned from LO3 was that the guy who caused this confusion got fired from MLG.

You get it.

A single person buying a pass for $20 is worth 3000 viewers (of which none are using adblock).

Also I highly doubt you're going to shun the pro circuit events just because you didn't want to pay for the arena weekend.

I think e-sports will not get to that point that you want it to evolve (ppv, less dependant on sponsorships), i'm sorry to bust your bubble. The way you want the market to be is way, way different than the market actually is. Although I hope I'm horribly wrong.

But trying to convince people to buy this 20$ pass in your post? I'm sorry...I don't get that..just for the sake of e-sports, and how do you expect this to work this time only, is this the feedback towards MLG that you are looking for?

In my opinion the criticism that has been given on this board and others is valid. MLG's business model is just plain wrong at the moment considering the state of the present (and imo future) market.

Get real,

I would buy it for 10$, probably not every single one [there is more of these arenas right?], but some for sure. 20$ is way too much for one weekend, even though provided content [VODs, replays, x HD streams] is really great.
