I also hope the tournament would be better organized than IEM's... watching an hour for quake to finish, then watching 15 minutes of commercial... followed by 20 minutes of free t-shirt giveaways feels like a great waste of time (enough for me to do all the chores in house!)... | ||

I just don't understand why all these major tournaments elect to have such bad streams. Oh well, at least we don't have to use Octoshape. And otherwise it sounds good. The IEM stream's quality was so bad, they can probably use livestream or ustream and get much better quality. I wasn't sure if there was a "paid" higher quality version though... if there was it would explain a lot. | ||

The bitrate is relevant too. You'll see yourself when you watch the regular stream because they give little previews of the high quality stream. It's a nice bump up in quality. The free stream is still good enough quality (should be comparable to the best livestream.com streams) | ||

I'm hoping the sc2 stream will be allocated a decent amount of bandwidth and admin attention so it is more similar to the halo experience than the wow or ssbm experiences The Tekken stream has been fine, especially at Columbus. Gotta say, though, I'm happy to pay $10 if it'll help out MLG SC2. | ||

If you commit to getting a 720p stream up in the future you have my money. I just hope you use someone's CDN so the stream is as lag free as possible worldwide. | ||

Not everyone has the connection to support 720p. Did you ever think about that? | ||

Im still nervous about this whole "everyones chance" thing. The open registration is one thing, but no seeding could really hurt the tournament. Im fearing a big bracket where 90% of the known players end up in the same bracket tree and alot of nobodies goes deep because of it. Even double elemination cant really take away that threat. Oh well, lets see how it works out, and anyway, with the seeding system, it should only be a issue at this first event, of hopefully many to come. Still excited! | ||
