Starcraft 2 news » MLG Winter Arena is Coming

MLG’s first-ever Winter Arena is coming, February 24-26! Watch as 32 of the world’s best players compete LIVE for $26,000 and a chance to go straight into Pool Play at the Winter Championships in Columbus on March 23-25, where $76,000 will be on the line. Check out the full player list for the Winter Arena here.

Every match from the tournament will be streamed -- over 80 hours of gameplay -- live across four streams. There will also be a fifth stream, the Dr Pepper MLG Ultimate Access stream, airing a candid, behind-the-scenes look at the players. You can watch it all in a whole new way -- the Premium Viewing page. Switch seamlessly between the streams, set them up on the page however you like, and watch up to all five at once. And it’s all going down in true 1080p high-quality video with no ads.

The Arena will be headlined by none other than Tasteless, Artosis, and djWHEAT, backed by JP McDaniel and a host of top up-and-coming talent.

Want to see what you’re getting before you buy? The demo page is live now, and once the Arena starts, MLG will be broadcasting the first match from every stream completely free on both Friday and Saturday. The Dr Pepper MLG Ultimate Access stream will be free all throughout the Arena.
