A few things to comment on here (yes I am the guy that runs MLG day to day operations):
-We cannot control the fact that so many players are from New York City. If they were from the South Pole we would still get them to the event. MLG lucked out this time on money but it may not be that way every time.
-This is not a traditional tournament per usual MLG standards; i.e. double elimination. We only have 2 stations and are doing our best to make this a real TV quality event in terms of focused air times. 4 hours for MK and 4 hours for SC on the broadcast. With players a full round robin within their respective pools, we feel that players will have ample time to prove their worth for the bracket.
-Every player can bring 2 guests. Reach out to qualified players to get on their list. If you happen to live in NYC and want to attend, I will personally be allowing spectators in on a very, very limited RSVP basis. Email me directly at [email protected]

We are trying to build this community up within MLG. We are doing our best to adhere to long standing practices, traditions, and expectations of the MK community, but please also work with us to find some common ground. We are not the enemy, and we are not idiots when it comes to live tournaments. Over 10 years we have operated nearly 100 large scale live events processing well over 150,000 competitors within that time span. We are trying our best to do this the right way and will adjust as we learn. Thanks for the feedback and I hope you tune in (or attend) on April 28th.

That sounds fair enough. Sounds like we could at least get most of VSM there to spectate with 6 VSM x2 = 12, but I understand if people want to bring friends/gf/family members.
