Is that game even out yet Persona 4? Anime community made a petition that has 500+ signatures to convince MLG to pick it up. IIRC Carlos and Arturo were impressed and are working on it.
wait a minute I just remembered the top 8 players will be flown to NYC for the MLG arena to win even more money, Also MLG is paying for flights and hotel.
race for top 8 here we go!
Also Starcraft 2 had a small prize pool when they started out at MLG. Now it has 76K prize pool, and had 50k for the first place player alone for there championship event last year.
