Curious to know what's coming in ten days at the first major event of MLG 2012? Take a look at the big picture and see which 32 players will be playing February 24-26 for the $26,000.
Hundreds of players walked a heavy road to reach the MLG Winter Arena. It all started with the best eight at MLG Providence 2011, followed by three regional qualifiers that were also to determine the most worthy of a spot on the Arena stream. Finally, the player list is complete:
| MLG Winter Arena player list | |||
| MLG Providence | EU Qualifier | KR/TW Qualifier | LA/NA Qalifier |
 Leenock | Violet | Nestea |  Drewbie |
 Naniwa |  Ret | Parting | Ddoro |
| DongRaeGu | Thorzain | Losira |  Sheth |
| Mvp |  Pomi | MarineKing | Sase |
| HuK |  Socke | Oz | Axslav |
| MC | Sjow | TheSTC | Artist |
| Haypro | Grubby | Ganzi | Minigun |
| Idra | Merz | San | Dde |
So when is this all happening? As it is the tradition with MLG events, the Winter Arena will run Friday till Sunday, February 24-26, with the following schedule (all times are EST, add +6 for CET):
The last piece of information is that the MLG Winter Arena will be available via $20 Pay Per View pass only. Buyers will get access to four separate streams which together will cover 100% of the games, while a fifth sneaks behind the scenes for interviews and chit-chats with the players themselves. Information about who will sit behind the commentators' desk is soon to be announced.

| Kinda exciting to see if the PPV model is going to work for this event, it could change so much future eSports events :) |
1
| Where's Hero? |
| Haha, every single nickname is written correctly but can't say the same for idra :))) |
| Hero plays the ASUS ROG tournament, dont know if he didnt qualify or just choose a different tournament |
| yes #1 it would change so that the majority of the eSports community would not be able to view all the events due to their low income as students |
| Go Grubby! |
| #5 True story. |
| hehe this will ruin all of their statistics regarding increasing number of views and stuff like that... |
| Gogo MvP and Thorzain! |
| Gogo Axslav! |
| I'd be surprised if this PPV model works out for MLG. I think I'll give Asus a go first, if I'm not happy with it, I'd probably buy the MLG pass. |
| Well, from a business point of view it's better to have 5k paying viewers than 100k non paying. The real challenge will be to see how many paying viewers they can get at all. If the paying-nonpaying ratio is like 1:20 then PPV is good but i'm afraid the ratio will be like 1:100 so in this case it's not really worth it. Guess we will see about that. |
| What you're saying is probably true in terms of revenue, but is loosing that many viewers, which in turn hurts popularity and stuff really worth it? That's something to ponder about. |
Socke will pWn them ALL  |
| Go Grubby, even tho only some paying retards will watch u rapin' some koreans :/ |
| Considering the new type of streaming published for mlg, i dont think i will watch the stream at any rate! |
