It goes up for like 5 minutes, loads ads and everything then blackscreens.

This is the first time I've actually gotten annoyed with an organization for screwing up their streaming etc. (GSL, Blizzard at blizzcon last year for sc2 and tohers) Usually it doesn't bother me because the organisations have ALOT on their plate.

But after JP and Sundance were hyping up how improved the infrastructure would be apart from halo it's really ticked me off lol.

Come on MLG! you can do it!

EDIT: LOL, looks like our continuous reconnects inadvertently DDoS'd the site :-P

I am not blaming MLG for this. It's an overload on their servers. Way too many people are watching than anticipated. I wouldn't say this is a bad thing, in fact it's a good thing. Starcraft 2 is here to stay!

MLG the supposed leader of E-sports in USA

lolol.

I wonder how many fools pay for HD service.

After 1.5 hour delay, stream crashing, and LQ that make the GSL LQ looks like 3D HD I wouldn't give them a dime. If I could I would restream the "HD" version.

MLG stream has always been like this, the LQ stream is extremely low, like horrible low. Such a huge event that I was looking forward to so much, only to be dissapointed again

And to top it off, the SC2 stream should take priority over any other stream as it will undoubtedly be the most viewed/popular

I"m still just getting commercials//black, everyone still this way?

EDIT: and all these people bashing MLG have no clue what the problem is. I'd bet substantial money on the fact that its something happening with the convention center internet completely out of their hands. And dont say its their duty or obligation to pick a venue with better internet, they either dont exist, or simply dont have the available ISP.

They are ALWAYS like this though. They should know from pre-sales how much capacity they need for the paid stream and at least make sure they can provide the product that they are selling.

"Watch all the events in crystal-clear quality with the HQ pass"

That is just pathetic.

Then do it like GOM and get a goddamned studio/arena built so you don't have to put up with this.

At least NASL has done the smart thing and located everything in a central location.

TSL will have the Sweet 16 in NYC, and I'm damned sure those admins are going to make sure that venue can handle "GSL Finals" levels of connections requests.

I have lost 100% faith in MLG as an organization, and will never watch an MLG event again. This is retarded, and makes e-sports look amatuer, and makes people not take us seriously.

Grow e-Sports? Boycott MLG for SC2 and go with people who can organize this better.

Fuck, SCreddit did a better job with the Reddit Invitational, and that's a bunch of people WORKING FOR FREE.
