Tune in to MLG's StarCraft II Winter Arena this weekend photo

Major League Gaming (or MLG for short) is hosting its first-ever Winter StarCraft II event this weekend, February 24-26 in New York City. The event will feature 32 StarCraft players from across the world, including Nestea, Idra, MarineKing, Artist, and Leenock, winner of MLG Providence.

Viewers can tune in via Pay-Per-View in HD at a price of $20 for the entire weekend; if you’re an MLG Gold member, you can knock off $5. Demo streams can be viewed on MLG’s site and passes can be purchased here.

Locations for MLG events this year are still TBD, however dates have been set for June 8-10, August 24-26, and November 2-4, 2012. Here’s hoping that there’s one near me!

For more information on the event and players, visit MLG’s website.

I still can't get over the fact that MLG is on Pay-Per-View. Blows my mind.

@killingspree

calling people pathetic who play videogames on a videogame site is pathetic and exudess your jealousy and or ignorance on the matter. WHy hate something that people like to do? If anything real sports is mroe pathetic due to the way sports players are treated in the game. Protip: don't be ignorant.

To those new to it -- This is the first Arena event being thrown by MLG. They are exploring revenue streams to try and make their business actually profitable. There is quite a bit of drama over these being PPV being priced at $20, but they'll probably come down.

Now the Pro Circuit events, those are different. Those still have a free stream, or an HD stream for $30/yr.

E-SPORTS! But yah I like the idea that they are charging for the stream but stuff like that is annoying to me personally. Lacking a credit card, I have to go through more hoops to pay for it (not a fan of watching starcraft mind you, talking fighting games here).
