After the troubles they've had at Dallas, I don't think MLG will want to take a big chance on more technical difficulties.
I think that MLG might at least give Riot one more chance, or else they might just drop it all together. They are probably loosing a lot with these bugs and crashes.

Urgh don't remind me of Dallas, nearly managed to wipe that memory.

They have already had more viewers than COD had all last MLG put together according to Sundance tweet, if MLG can somehow get it together for at least a few matches + the finals, and the numbers stay good, or get better, they will bring LoL back. Viewer numbers too high for this game, and possible profit too high too pass it up. They will encourage Riot to fix the issues just like they encourage Blizzard to make a lan version of SC2 for tournaments, but we'll see if it ever happens.

Sounds like EG is getting a pretty big advantage right now. They forced baron fight and gets 3 kills

They could just remake the game instead of stupidly continuing the game even tho the crash happened probably before minions spawned (since we saw absolutely nothing on stream), it may be Riot's fault that the game crashes but it's MLG's fault that they don't remake like Riot did at IEM

Anyone find the irony that Tyler is on the LoL stream teaching us about starcraft?
(Tyler plays a lot of LoL on his stream)

Seems like LoL is not the only game series failing at MLG:
Gosu.Ostojiy was playing vs Col.Drewbie in a 45 minute game, looked like a major battle was going to happen, Ostojiy's computer crashed

and then after the remake the game, have the spectator mode crash again? they're already 90 minutes behind schedule, you know that right?

So 5 more minutes won't hurt, you know that right? What are you MLG's lawyer or something? They are purposely hurting us, spectators.

EG with a pretty big advantage.

The problem is that there is no guarantee that it will be just five minutes. The delay could snowball out of control.
Actually it already has. They are way behind.

TSM vs EG Game 1: Baron expires , but Dyrus' Singed doesn't care, ignoring bottom lane enemies and turret to kill the inhib turret.

TSM vs EG Game 1: Dan Dinh's Udyr and Dyrus' Singed prove too durable and EG pushes the Nexus down. EG wins Game 1! EG leads set 1-0

wow. game 1 going on and no stream. this is seriously epic fail by riot. It's MLG's stream, not Riot. I'd just be happy there is a LoL tournament stream to watch (not casted by Grackis). umm. you do understand that its not being streamed because riot's spectator mode is crashing? Would you prefer there to not be tournaments? The point is to be thankful of what you get for free and not bitch about things going wrong. MLG is trying to turn competitive gaming profitable. Part of that is enticing people to buy stream viewership, etc. This is not a good impression. (As a funny note, did you know that MLG has yet to turn a profit in a single year of its running? The only way it's staying afloat is venture capital. Maybe SC2 and LoL will change that...but not like it is now.) Very interesting, I didn't know that. Source? I would think that with the sponsors they're getting, they'd be at least making some dough, considering they have a lot of big names like Monster, Intel, etc etc... The sponsors support the tournaments and the company with millions. But that is not stuff going into MLG's pockets, it's being used to run the tournaments and keep the company alive. Each event is super super expensive.
Oh of course, I know that the sponsorship money isn't counted as income on MLG's part. I was thinking that if those sponsors knew that MLG was losing money at every event, they might not choose to renew their support since MLG's continued deficits are a huge dis-incentive to invest.
I guess it's not as if Intel is having a hard time paying the bills, and it's a lot of advertising and product placement for them.

MLG needs to have the games play, regardless of if they can get spectators in or not. You guys do realize that we're barely in the 2nd series and it's already 3 PM EST? They're not even close to being half way done and this is still the round robin stage.

Both DH and IEM handled the client crashes and at IEM we didn't run into more than 1-2 crashes/game, why would it be different at MLG? Creating and starting a game with blind pick takes 1 min max? What makes you think that suddenly the client will crash five times in a row?
Also how hard is it for gamers to just arrange swaps (IIRC the bug was created when both players hit trade at the same time): "hotshot, you press trade button first", uhhh
