Been MLG gold member since July 2011 or something. My gold membership ends in September and I just canceled my subscription renewal. MLG is going so fast backwards it's sad to see.
1) Fuck this echo in the audio. It was better during Jaedong vs Naniwa but now it's back in all its glory. Yesterday it was sometimes so bad I had to mute the sound.
2) Twitch is horrible. MLG used to have this really cool portal where you could split/quad screen and it had easy navigation. Now I got to search like a madman between 6 stream. So silly. With the portal I could also watch the other games played at MLG easily. Now? Not so much.
3) Not even showing all the matches on championship Sunday? I almost can't believe it. Hopefully this is a false rumor.
4) Downtime. Starting to seriously hate all these stupid reruns. Lucky that they had NASL yesterday so that I could swap streams.
FFS. I needed to write this somewhere on TL. I don't want to fill the LR with this crap. I don't want to necro the last MLG feedback thread from over 2 years ago. Blogs it is.
EDIT: Luckily the games are amazing and the crowd adds the necessary adrenaline.
EDIT 2: The problem is that this event is worse than any MLG event from 2011. This echo is so annoying. HerO vs Hyun has the most horrible sound again. At this stage of the tournament? But the audio is not the only thing, there are multiple aspect being worse. Like the the portal that disappeared, no extra content after matches.
Than there were the NA finals that HerO won. Without a crowd on an big ivory tower in NY. MLG is just going backwards.

teevox to split screens + multiple screens at the same time etc
Why are you worried that they won't show all games?
You know what the time is at aneheim right?
Community streams all had a schedule that were linked constantly - Tough I do agree a little, as after Rich's black magic I have serious abstinence from not having at a glance view so easily

SC2 isn't even on the featured game list on twitch mobile. Wtf. Bad enough twtich took SC1 off the general game list for twitch. Might as well use this blog to say What the Hell! Also the MLG Michael thing is horrendous I agree. All these issues take away from the great games the players offer. Why are all the casters from last nights games on crappy headphones on Skype casting and not on site. That just seems wrong to me.

I agree that the echo the casters had was a bit annoying, but considering I watched MLG for free I have nothing to really complain about. Even with the echo the casters were still clear enough to hear and understand.

This MLG has just been really underwhelming I don't know any other way to put it.

Well I haven't really watched a lot of mlg this weekend. I wasn't interested in Friday or Saturday. I did watch a few games Saturday. But today I have been really into it. I guess for me I know the best players are here, and the games are all pretty epic. Twitch has been fine for me. I did like the whole interface thing they use to do with MLG and twitch, so I could easily switch between streams. During downtime I like to watch the CoD stream or halo stream or a fighter stream. The point I am trying to make is watch another game being played, you may like it, or take downtime to go get food get up and walk around. IDK I know for myself I have lost a lot of interest in watching SC II lately. But a lot of that interest comes from playing it, and I don't play SC II a lot anymore, I've been more into playing my ps3 and playing games with epic stories lol. This MLG is pretty much a standard lan for me. It isn't like amazing like nothing really new, just put together pretty well, I do like the bracket system and thank god liquipedia is so good, because I can follow the results. The echo could be the room set up, maybe MLG didn't test it when they set it all up. I feel like you are just being really nit picky, and your 4 complaints aren't big deal at all. There is 80k people watching on stream, and a full room live, so the majority seem to enjoy it lol, if you want to send a message of complaints email twitch and MLG and turn the stream off so they don't get you for viewing ads.

I do agree, for the most part I wasn't interested at all, despite players being there that I really like. I will admit that I am enjoying all of Naniwa's games, but if he gets knocked out, I may turn it off. I don't really fault MLG for my lack of interest, I just think I am more interested in playing than watching.

I don't know if you could hear it on stream but at the event there was this intermittent 'someone fucks with a mic' BWKSHSHSHSHSHSHHHHHH noise
it was a nightmare
but everything else is awesome ^-^

Tbph the worse offender with sound is that the caster mics are continually peaking and cracking on stream (its likely a combination of both the mics being cheap and they're too hot). It's very bad for someone like me, for the average viewer idk if they notice much. The thing people are picking up on with regards to the echo is that the audience mics are likely directly connected to the main mixing board while the caster mics aren't and are actually a couple of hundred ms delayed for whatever reason (maybe some post processing or a problem with two audio interfaces not being in sync, cable transmission, idk). So the audience mics are actually in front of the caster mics which feels somewhat backwards when talking about echo and reverberation. I haven't really minded this that much, but it shouldn't happen when it would be so easy to set up the proper delays on each audio source so that they match, or match more closely.

None of the MLG streams for any game are on twitch, they said so on twitter.

I have to agree with you, I've been underwhelmed. Oh well >_<
|
Agreed 100%, WTF is up with the audio and having to search around 6 lagging streams to find some good games?! Get a decent schedule up and a decent portal from which to view the games, this is amateur stuff.
|
I was trying to watch on my phone earlier but it wouldn't load in the twitch mobile app, MLG still not broadcasting to mobile devices? Or is it a twitch thing. Either way it makes no sense...
|
I'm still appalled that after all these years, they still just insert music and a shot of a crowd or player getting ready to fill time. I understand if now they're slowly shifting from SC2, and resources won't be there, but there was no excuse in the earlier tournaments.
NASL has been one of the only "tournaments" to produce actual content to fill time, scheduled segments, etc... That's what actual broadcasting is at real sporting events. Oh, there's a stoppage? Here's some analysis, here's an interview, here's general colour commentary.
We need to start bridging that gap.

Yes it could better.All events can be improved upon.
I am enjoying the games Ive seen. Casters are doing well, games are great. I guess Im easily pleased. I just enjoy the fact that there is so much gaming wise going on. Remember when WCG was the only game in town, once a year??
Hope you can find something to keep you interested.

I still love watching MLG. I will continue doing so. But without gold membership next time. Next time I'll mute the adds instead of muting the crowd shots and the stupid recaps from previous MLGs.

Sound was fine for me, I didn't hear any echoing.

Ya the mobile app doesn't give out ads and mlg wants the ad money

Casters sound like protoss to me
|
I thought everthing was great =).
had 0 sound issues,
had no lag issues,
adblock ftw
like this format INFINITELY more than the stupid seeded players from last year...that was garbage tournament setup/format imo.
have enjoyed it thoroughly... am not surprised that.. as usual... every1 who follows the scene is a negative whiner who are going to complain no matter what especially when it comes to MLG
