Updated: CBS Interactive expands into eSports with MLG and TwitchTV
@23 The PPV was more successful than you think. The price point was a huge discussion for weeks, but in the end they sold more than they expected and did just fine. There are 2 upcoming Spring Season PPVs, with a pricepoint that the TeamLiquid and Reddit communities agree with.

@24 Again, more MLG ignorance. For the three games, MLG runs a championship bracket with pool play to determine seeds, as well as an open bracket for ANYONE to sign up for (before it hits the cap).

@11 If it encourages more and more Japanese players to come, why the hell not? To get better, you can't just be playing people on your level. Justin isn't afraid of any Japanese players, neither is Mike Ross, Latif, PR Balrog, Wolfkrone, etc. How will the community have lost itself in this case? If anything, it's continuing to bridge the world-wide gap between the global community, and bringing everyone together, while also paying the big ...
