I vote no. If you're having trouble with your bladder, drink hard liquor instead (you're not gonna need to pee from drinking 150 ml of anything). Today when I was drinking mixed drinks, I just went to the washroom between games when they're talking about the map and stuff. If you have a friend watching with you (I was lucky enough to convince a non-StarCraft playing friend to watch with me, and he was entertained), they'll tell you if you missed anything. Worst comes to worst and you don't have someone like that, watch the stream with a buddy on MSN or AIM to tell you if you missed anything (obviously that IRC is so chaotic, you'll never find out what happened... TBH I just go full screen and relax like I'm watching TV from a distance away).

As far as smoke breaks go... Just go without having a cigarette for 5 hours, you fiend Isn't TSL exciting enough to keep your mind distracted from a nicotine addiction?

I say if you do put in a break for breathers and people to pee, don't make it longer than 2 minutes. 5 minutes is too long, and you're just gonna get non-StarCraft players leaving. Breaks are good for major events when you've got all your buddies around so you can talk to them during the intermission, but the vast majority here are watching this basically alone at their computer. I've got my brother (who hasn't played StarCraft in 4 or 5 years, and doesn't follow proscene) who watches it at the same time and comes in to comment on the last game every set, and apart from today, that's been it.

That reply was probably more in depth than it should have been lol.
