#3, no - the videos will be available to the public. Anyone who wants them will get them, though there will be a download cap (like demos). Prime users will be able to download them quicker (with dedicated uncapped bandwidth), or stream them immediately.

Can I get some cool points if I disagree and say Frag or Die was the best? I hear that's the standard offer.

Nice, this is EXACTLY what I was waiting for! :)

Too bad I deleted my Winter 2003 coverage videos, and I have yet to find a site that hosts all of them anymore :(

am i the only one that thinks mfavp is getting the short end of the stick by teaming up with gotfrog?

i personally thought the gf layout of the coverage of everlan sucked :/

ill be disappointed if mfavp's vids' links are not listed each day on the gotfrag main page... i dont want to click like 5-10 times to navigate the site to find these vids.

old school gf was much better at getting the relevant info on the main page (such as brackets, match scores, match times, and daily vids)

#34, The CPL did not "drop" us. They never owned us, hired us, or paid us (although we were considered the official online video outlet since NetFire hosted the videos). They have been giving us great access to their events so we've just been filming their events. This is why some people think we are in some way affiliated with the CPL. We have never got a dime from them.

#46, yes Scott was a great host, but so was Warwitch. I'll admit that Scott came off a bit "bubblier" than Warwitch, but Warwitch was not "monotone". He has a great voice.
