But if you want to host a relevant, live tournament, there are some things you need to get straight. One of them is having your internet working. (Which, BTW, means you aren't relying on a 3rd party like a school to supply it, and if you are, you make damn sure they know it's going on and don't have some random person turn it off.) Another one is having a tournament realm ALREADY set up. IEM games are on a tournament realm. So are MLG's. I would imagine DH is the same way. It boggles the mind that GESL's weren't to begin with. Look, this was a nice idea for a nice, low-budget tournament with some good teams. But it went to shit, and when things happen that the organizers hadn't anticipated, it's their fault for not anticipating them. Simple as that. They did ask for Tournament Realm access from Riot. http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/v70u2/statement_from_gesl/ They only got it after the live servers went down completely. This is Gigabyte's first LAN. They got no real help from Riot at all until today. They still managed to bring in tons of sponsors. They're being blamed for things that are outside of their control (like the internet going down or the servers crashing). Like I said originally the only thing they could've done better was ensure they had a second streaming computer.

As the organizers of the tournament they should have at least talked to the campus to make sure they're aware of this event. They did do this. They were checking to make sure the internet was fine for a week prior to the event. They checked the internet the day before. The day of the event someone, no one knows who, shut the internet off. This could literally happen at any venue ever for any tournament lol. Your statement is just really silly. They should have "at least talked to the campus to make sure they're aware of this event," as if they just like waltzed onto campus and hosted the event without letting anyone know. I'm not gonna deny that it sucks how bad things went at this tournament. But honestly most of it was just really horrible coincidences. The only thing I could really fault them for was how little information was spread on day 1 during all of the delays but they worked really hard to give fans something to watch and enjoy despite all of the horrible circumstances. | ||

The first time it was 30 mins of ads and then someone casted a game in webchat. Then on my second try i had 20 mins of ads, then rachel giving away a PC to zigs mom, then more ads (at which point i stopped watching), that was my highlight of this event. The last try was 20 mins of ads, then the typical "hot asian chick" (seriously, every 2nd LoL event has a asian hostess) asking a pro really irrelevant questions, then more ads, then ANOTHER interview by the same female, then more ads. Then i stopped watching and just read this thread for the scores. i will avoid events from these organizers for some time. | ||

I blame riot for releasing a bugged patch over a weekend when they should do it on like a monday or tuesday when no tournaments are occuring and they have people on staff to fix it when the entire realm goes down. Anyway will there be any VODs released from this tournament and where can I get them? We will be working on cutting Twitch VODs and uploading them onto YouTube in an organized fashion once we get some rest. For now, the entire recording is available en masse on the Twitch channel itself. | ||

Hell I can watch his stream for the same effect and better quality. | ||
