At least they excuse, but they have a looooooot to fix...
Not only their technical issues, but also the fact that they just run the stream without streaming any games for so long, and their f***ked up tournament system and all those special rules.

Teleprompter apology takes the edge off. Still doesn't explain why, when the stream was actually working, they showed crowd instead of TLO v. Idra.

I really think Sundance does care. MLG is his baby, and he was so nervous. I forgive MLG for it's mistakes, I just really want to see E-sports do well and be taken seriously, and that starts with professionalism demonstrated by the producers of the tournament.

BG guys, but let's have a damn good RE ok!

EDIT: I can understand why a lot of you guys are mad, and I'm upset too. If this happens again it will be a drastic failure for MLG. It's easy to take shots at the guys in charge though, and they deserve a second chance.

Haven't watched MLG before and I guess this is enough of a reason to not start watching lol.

im just glad the NASL is starting soon im tired that the MLG represents north american starcraft its pitifull
1. no stream working or just not showing games when theirs virtually nothing else going on eg instead of showing TLO play idra we get to see the audience for 30mins -_-
2. unnecessary extended series like TLO vs iNcontrol (send incontrol to the other bracket like they do in the gsl that way they have a smaller chance of meeting again....
3. the setup of the tourney also is terrible... example select has played vs 5 opponents while naniwa has beaten over a dozen (no joke) and they're in the same round (dont get me started on if moonan keeps winning his hands will be rubber by the time the finals rolles around) and who ever wins that game select vs naniwa just goes to play one game in the losers bracket then their right back in the finals so basically that series is pointless no wait its not its to see who wont have to play from behind and win 2 best of 3 series inna row. i mean what a joke MLG is not a skills tournement it is an endurance vs seeded players tourney

The Streams is so annoying, its seems impossible to join more then one game...they rather make endless pauses and breaks, then showing us the good games. Too much breaks, too much trash talk... its realy sad .... i dont like!

This weekend is getting me wondering: what's the point of running a tournament, if no one actually gets to see most of the games? And I don't even mean the stream issues, I mean they only cast one game out of 5 or 6... Yeah sure you can watch the replays, but if you already know the results and it's without commentary, there's no tension and no entertainment. I mean, TLOvsTyler, TLOvsDrewbie, TLOvsIdra and now TLOvsInControl, and we don't see a ginle one of those awesome match-ups?! ...

We're watching a guy apologize while Incontrol is playing against TLO.

Gotta love MLG.

by messing up so bad it SHOULD NOT happen again in the next MLG ill give it another chance but if they will have the same problems next time nobody will take this serious anymore would be a real shame

you feel sorry for the casters. They've had to give results more then they've actually watched/casted. For every one set they watch they miss like 8-9 different other ones

They should quit talking and show some games. I like talking, but I actually tuned it to see Starcraft. MLG is 50% breaks, 30% talking, 10% commercials, 10% Starcraft.
