I really hate being a negative Nancy but I do think people pay good money for these events and should be comfortable and healthy during their stay. [-1] This convention center is HUGE.. so the lack of adequate seating was extremely disappointing. The previous MLG events people were complaining that there were not enough seats because the hosts didn't expect such a huge turn out for a new game (League of Legends) so even after that mistake they still didn't have adequate seating! People LOVE league of legends guys.. it's not an unknown game anymore! Adapt to that! Meet the demands of such a popular game! [-1] Lack of real stores. The other League of Legend events had Teemo hats.. Rammus hats, what have you. This MLG event? One T-shirt booth. That was extremely disappointing! You could make BANK selling game/fan merchandise! Why do you think jerseys and sports merchandise do so well? People LOVE their sports (yes, even e-sports) and are willing to dish out $$$ for interesting souvenirs/keepsakes. I wanted a Teemo hat. D: [-1] Not enough televisions! BlizzCon held their event in the same -exact- venue, had massive crowds, and had arena/SC games running on more than 3 TVs in each area so everyone could see from different angles. Also, the camera that MLG used to broadcast? It kept blocking the view of people who were standing on the left side of the stage. That was a major bummer. Everyone kept screaming "MOVE THE CAMERA!" Again, very disappointing. [-1] Lack of food options! I don't know, but if your event is going to span the entire day, have some options for food that's inside! Anime Expo and other conventions all offered food options inside the venue. I mean, I know a lot of gamers usually forget to eat the entire day, but some others remember, dang it! Also had to pay $12 parking for each day that we were there which is really silly. If the event is 3 days, give us a pass, dangit! :P [+1] They had a lot of games to try out and other competitions to watch if you're a fan of the other games too. The noise from the other booths didn't interfere with the booths you're at which was nice (aside from the cheering, of course). As much as I love league of legends, I'm not sure if I'd attend another event hosted by MLG. I'd rather watch from my computer screen hooked up to a giant TV and be able to sit with my bf and eat my food like a fattie:D! I didn't attend the 3rd day because it was actually more relaxing watching from home! D: Don't get me wrong, I did enjoy my time there but they could have done a lot better! Tip: Get here super early for seats and don't stand where the camera will block you!

MLG (Major League Gaming) does it again with another amazing Spring Championships held at the…read moreAnaheim Convention Center!! The event was held in the "D" sector of the convention center. It was spacious, cool, and comfy. No food vendors inside the facility were open, however Dr. Pepper (one of their sponsors) was dishing out free soda's to everyone all weekend long. It was nice to get my hands on souvenir "Avenger's" cans featuring Loki and Nick Fury! The usual T-Shirt vendors were there, and it was a very nice surprise to see Gunnar Optix represented where my guy picked up a very snazzy pair of gaming glasses. Test area's for SC2 Heart of the Swarm, League of Legends, and a few others (Mortal Kombat / King of Fighters 13) were also present to add to the experience. The individual stages were set and the pro's were geared up to fight to the death (in game of course!) Seating was fantastic especially with the main event, Star Craft II, with 6 huge screens for many of us to see if seated waaaaaay in the back. The League of Legends screen was limited to just the one big screen, but I don't think anyone anticipated how big of a crowd they would get, with the game still being relatively new. The pools and finals of both events were amazing and had us all at the edge of our seats!! I can't wait to come back again next year! (Maybe Stephano will go all the way and win the SC2 title next time!)
