+MLG|Shrew`DAL> The CEO just approached both players and offered two options.
<+MLG|Shrew`DAL> 1. Play now, but we cannot gurantee that the match wont drop.
* Q sets mode: +o riptide|bnc
<+MLG|Shrew`DAL> 2. Postpone the match, and reach a resolution at a later date
<+MLG|Shrew`DAL> They chose option 1
<+MLG|Shrew`DAL> So
<+MLG|Shrew`DAL> They will start NOW at 3-1
<@riptide|bnc> YES
<+MLG|Shrew`DAL> In the event the game drops
<+MLG|Shrew`DAL> The games will be ultimately postponed for a later resolution
* riptide|bnc is now known as LiquidT1de
* keitWeRRa sets mode: +v Nattkatt
<+MLG|Shrew`DAL> Specifics of that have not been determined and hopefully it wont come to that
<+MLG|Shrew`DAL> Thank you everyone for being patient

Ya, difference is there are 30 players that can compete for top 8 for SC2, theres only like 12 teams that ever compete for top 8 in halo.
MLG is the only major Halo tournament they can go to compared to the hundreds of ways SCII players make money. There's also the fact that Halo players get far fewer sponsorship deals. I know a few Halo pros and if you talk to them most just compete for fun because they actually break even on tournaments unless they're placing top 4.
Also, for whoever was saying the players look 13, they're mostly late-teens to early twenties. The youngest pro this year was 17 I believe.

LiL Poison I believe was 8 when he was going to MLG Tournaments for Halo 2. LiL Poison was bad and never won anything. I never said he was good... I think someone just said it was crazy a 13 year old was there or something. I was just pointing out there have been younger players.
Okay. Some people use him as an example when they say Halo takes no skill or is easy or whatever. He was bad, most actual Halo pros are late teens/early 20s just like StarCraft pro players.

they should refuse to play the final to send a message....but guess that would do more harm than good, sponsorwise :|

Oh blizz deleted the 15 pages saying no lan sux and replaced with a topic saying mlg admits failure ...

Hey I paid 25 bucks to go and be a spectator to this event and this feels like a baseball game that is getting rained out and I dont get my money back [event was awesome though, mad props]
I feel really bad for the people and players that have an actual plane flight to catch tonight to get home. I mean seriously what if jinro or TT1 has a flight to catch tonight? Who is going to pay for the flight change and extra hotel stay costs?

It's not MLG's end, it's probably some internet issue between Dallas and Blizzard's servers. Technically Blizzard's hamsters are healthy and so are MLG's, it's the carrier pigeons between them that are malfunctioning.
Which is why tournaments should have LAN. This is people from all over the world flying to Dallas to sit next to each other and play on Battle.net. It's silly.

Would you immediately blame and trash one of the biggest gaming companies in the world? No, you don't. You suck it up and realize you are not at the top of the food chain.

Even if it is on MLG's end if there was LAN this wouldn't have happened. Because the issue if it is MLG's end is the internet connection not computers or anything. If there was LAN then agian no dropping issue. That bnet poster is just a moron who doesn't realize that.

Not true... there are plenty of LAN events I used to go to for Halo 2 (assuming Halo 3 is the same from what I've heard from my friends)

love how blizzard is saying its MLG's problem and not battlenets. Too me it seems that if they're still maintaining streams from many other games, their internet is probably okay.
Also, Battlenet was running terribly all yesterday for about 4 of the 6 people I was playing matches with. Could be coincidental and I probably don't have all the information but just saying...
or as DJ wheat just said... 'A fiber line got cut or something...". sounds believable. the one 'fiber line' for the SC2 tourney got cut, but it had no effect on all the other streaming games. sounds like Blizzard PR leaned on MLG staff to take the blame.

haha the tekken awards are so awkward

Break is finished now, and MLG do seem to be saying it was their end??
|
back woot 
update!
mlg had a problem with internet it seems. (someone steeped on a fiber line or something)
(yet stream and everything else was fine, so i still don't believe this entirely)
Both players will play.
All issues resolved it seems.
