Honestly 24 hours is usually good enough for most of TL to be on at least once.

I personally don't care much about spoilers, but I guess 2 days sounds right

yeah. we really cant find a right answer here. there are allways ppl on both side, those who want 12 hours, and those who want 6 days or more. instead, the best way would be a spoiler-tag or something. so that those who want to know the score right after the match, can do that, and those who dont want to, dont have to.

1 hour. Honestly people who whine about spoilers are the next most annoying thing after flaming fanboys. If you go into a thread that has "TSL" in its title, expect to get spoiled.

Eh? Guys not everybody sits allfucking day long and starring at the computer. Some people even have to work etc. I would say 3 days are ok.

I guess usually 1 day is enough for places where people can avoid them with due care, but if we're talking about a poll on the front page it should be more like 2-3 days.
(I just loaded up TL after a long weekend spent away from the computer, anxious to catch the VODs, and saw 2 results right off the bat )

Should have been longer, especially considering yesterday night was Superbowl Sunday for those of us in the U.S. and if you missed the games yesterday then you'd likely have to wait until this afternoon/tonight to catch them.

My most sincere apologies to anyone I spoiled. It was a lapse in judgment and I'm very sorry.

1 day is more than enough. if you can't catch up with the stuff in one day you deserve to be spoiled

1 day is fine.

people who care enough to get mad after ONE day are ppl who are constantly checkin up on it anyway. other's are just mild on lookers who might be upset but it won't ruin their day @_@

I was able to watch most of them live, but missed 2-4 games (depending on results ofc). Downloading now, but going to school in a few... I'll watch them tomorrow... therefore I vote 2 days.

1 or 2 days and if someone waits that long/cares that much from then on they should have the wits to avoid places they are likely to get spoiled.

1 day is fine, but 2 days would be better considering how many fanatic nerds we have will be pumped out about this.
SonuvBob: Yes, the majority of TL is college-aged, and thus clearly stupid.

I'd say probably until the VOD's are out and available to watch, so what, maybe 2 days?

Though if you don't want the games spoiled but go into threads with TSL in the title its pretty self-explanatory that you could run into spoilers.

1-2 days:

Saturday evening many of us are probably away an can't watch the whole stream, i mostly watch the saturday games on sunday afternoon and right after that the live cast.

So 2 days seems perfect, 1 day is ok

I voted 2 days but I haven't had time to watch the games from this weekend until today. Still have Mondragon vs. Brat-OK left. But I usually have time on Sundays for the Saturday games and the sunday games I should be able to watch live if it's not superbowl the same day. Looking at how the poll is looking i think 12h, 1, 2 and three days has such a commanding lead over 4 days+ that the best option (even if 2 days leads with a couple percents) would be 3 days. Just so that people wont have to avoid this great site if they don't have all the time in the world to watch VODs.
