Sundance is at it again on twitter. The coming Arena's (both SC2 and LoL) will be free.

Between a sponsor and strong season pass sales for Spring, this became possible

Yes I meant SC2 as well as LoL. Yes Gold members still have benefits. Yes, I’m having another drink.

Final note - this is possible because we did well with season passes and crushed it with Anaheim. Opened the door to more partner $. (cont)

We have options now. Makes my job more enjoyable. Hopefully everyone who hasn’t had a chance to watch an Arena will enjoy. Yay growth!

So Arenas will now be under the freemium model like their championship events. No word on what benefits the Gold Members will get.
EDIT: It is unconfirmed whether this is for all Arena's from now on. Summer season is freemium for certain though.Last edit: 2012-06-23 12:35:16 |

Oh, wow. I can finally watch one of these. I'd like to see the amount made from the sponsor and the past arenas to see how they could afford this. Also, wouldn't that be a sign that they could lower future prices?
Also, thank you MLG and Sundance!Last edit: 2012-06-23 12:25:28 |

Sundance finally realizes that you can run a free stream and still remain profitable

| Man that feel when we made esports grow. Seeing as how I've paid for every arena thus far, I'll be trying the freemium for now. We'll see. |

I wish GSL would do this with their "High Quality" non GSL/GSTL stream events..
+ Show Spoiler +GOM has bad quality streams  It's true.
Way to go MLG. |
