The only relevant part of that is the news on the VODs and you sound just as speculative as anyone else. Do you know the guy who's working on them? If you have any information that hasn't been posted, particularly a time estimate (rough is fine), please post that. | ||

I promoted my little heart out because I was pumped for the event! However, I misunderstood and thought the stream was going to be live. Then, it turned out it was going to be recorded and I said they'd be posted earlier. Then, I find this out! My bad! It's a good thing this was the first test run, getting all this junk out of the way. As we found out, there were quite a few technical hiccups due to the B.net 2.0 and party systems. Still a fun event so look forward to the videos when they arrive 8] Day[9] It's all good. Thanks for clearing things up. | ||

Minor, community-run events with minimal publicity can already blow that number out of the water. Starcraft and Stracraft 2 are not comparable to WoW in any way. | ||

Additionally the majority of WoW players not only don't PvP competitively but they don't care about the competitive side of the game at all so it's really not surprising that a casual game like WoW would not draw a large crowd. | ||

The guy who's probably doing it doesn't like working on weekends, so give him a break. No I dont give him any breaks because. We were promissed it released yesterday, I dont care if he doesnt want to work on weekends, ignore post production then and release the video raw. Here in the starcraft community we are used to streams and instant uploaded vods, and if MGL cant even upload a youtube video in less than 24 hours I gotta say you will fail in making any decent tournaments for SC2 because frankly no one cares about MGL "quality standards" all we want is quality games that are quick and easy to follow, with no delay and no burocracy (and no power outages) I used to follow the wow pro scene when I first began, team pandemic following it on gotfrag and etc... And it was the biggest fail I have ever seen in my life, not only the game was really hard to follow because theres no observer interface. But also they had casters that didnt knew wtf was going on, even some of the "pro teams" of players playing had never touched the game until fnatic told them to play in the tournament. The way the game was set up with players having to connect to korean servers to play, it was all a huge assed fail, a failure so obvious and so deep, that only a company that doesnt care about its product and only about its revenous would be organizing it. Its no wonder MGL biggest game is Halo 3, only that shallow of a game with a huge legion of blind fanboys could really withstand the terrible terrible damage that MGL autofail inflicts upon the game. I WANT MY VODS NOW YOU HEAR ME /rant | ||

The only community slightly comparable to TL out of the major gaming communities is probably Q3 and ESReality, but the numbers here are much, much greater than over there and the enthusiasm is spread a lot further. The guy who's probably doing it doesn't like working on weekends, so give him a break. This is not an answer that will cut it, especially given TL just concluded a $20,000 tournament this weekend only with the help of dozens of unpaid volunteers. | ||

This is not an answer that will cut it, especially given TL just concluded a $20,000 tournament this weekend only with the help of dozens of unpaid volunteers. Not to mention the TSL also had more than 20,000 online spectators according to Day. Trance's record breaking online spectator numbers really aren't impressing me that much. Edit: Again, a COMMUNITY-RUN event comprised of volunteers, not even a major company that should supposedly have their crap together. | ||
