When MLG went to Anaheim last year, it was a massive event. The crowds were electric, the gameplay was incredible, and the mood in the venue all weekend felt like the best party you've ever been to. This year is going to blow last year right out of the water.
StarCraft II at the MLG Spring Championship in Anaheim, June 8-10, will feature the MLG Spring Championship, the USA Nationals of the StarCraft II World Championship Series, the 8-player MLG KeSPA Invitational, and the Heart of the Swarm beta on 200 demo stations. It's a great time to be a StarCraft II fan. Whether you're coming out in person or watching from home, next weekend will be an event you remember forever.

| Damn pretty sneaky of MLG to use one of the free streams to show the USA national games, instead of pool games. Would prefer the national games be on premium, but I get it, MLG wants more people to buy premium. |

To be fair, I would imagine Blizzard does not want the WCS tournament behind a paywall. I wouldn't chalk anything up to sneakiness. |

| If I bought a spectator pass to attend the event, can I watch the VODS when I go home on Monday or do I need to buy an online pass to get instant access? |

I just realised that I will be unable to watch a majority of this tournament.  |

Oh, I have no doubt, blizz doesn't want their tourney behind a paywall. Just for me I'm not interested in that tournament at all, since it'll probably be similar to your everyday NA playhem daily. |

Would love to see more coverage for the WCS, first rounds are entirely skipped and the LB finals landed at an ungodly time.
After going through like 20 online qualifiers those players should get more exposure, you miss out on storylines there.

| I love how MLG thinks about Europe and the rest of the world and puts all times in a timezone only a part of the world (America) cares or knows about. Gratz, i'm sure i'll be converting all of those. Last edit: 2012-06-01 04:55:48 |

I know man. I wish they would follow the great example of Dreamhack. They sure post times in all diff times zones....oh wait, they don't. They just post times in CEST.

Still some streams behind a paywall... i dont get that but i have to work that weekend so wont see much anyway and im not interested in the Kespa games or the Nationals so then i guess ill take a weekend without any Starcraft.
Checking some VODS after it will do it for me when i see this schedule.

MLG weekends are so great! I'm really looking forward to USA Nationals, I feel these sort of high profile regional events fill the need for something people looking to break into the top-tier pro scene can use to get recognition.
