Dear Nintendo,
My name is Brian Sentz and I love the Super Smash Brothers series, which brings me to the purpose of writing this letter. Ever since February of 2009, I have been involved in the competitve Super Smash Brothers Brawl scene. We have a very large community which regulary hosts tournaments all over the country for casual and hardcore players. Very recently, (just this year) Super Smash Brothers Brawl was added to the Major League Gaming pro curcuit but we weren't allowed to have a video stream or commentators that the other games such as Tekken 6, Halo 3, and Starcraft 2 were allowed to have.
With this in mind, I would like to make a formal request of your company to give Major League Gaming the rights to have a stream to enhance the quality of the events. Not only would this allow for those who know about tournaments to be in the loop about what is happening, but it may very well allow for exposure of not only Major League Gaming, but of our community, your company, and Super Smash Brothers Brawl as a whole. These Major League Gaming tournaments have not only meant a lot to me over the past year, but to the whole Super Smash Brothers Brawl community, and it would be a shame for us to not be able to continue with these events because MLG doesn't have the rights to a video stream
for the game.
So please Nintendo, read this letter completely and consider where I and the rest of the community are coming from, these tournaments are a great experience and I would love to see them get more exposure.
Sincerly,
Brian Sentz

I wrote this letter after seeing Mike's thread, but I have not sent it yet.
I want the community's input here as well as the higher-ups, such as AZ, JV, and Deimos' opinions.
