It may rock for Americans but for Europeans it is the worst of the main streaming sites by a large margin. It's pretty much unwatchable for many.
I believe that Ustream managed to provide Dreamhack coverage to almost 30k people at one point with little to no problems so I'm not sure that your assertation of there being no alternatives available is necessarily correct.
I do appreciate that Justin.tv are doing so much to help esports but I would hope that in the future tournament organisers can keep in mind that for certain parts of the world Justin.tv provide an extremely poor service and that, despite what other benefits they may offer, until such issues are resolved in choosing them over other alternatives you may be effectively denying coverage to a significant part of your potential audience.
On a more positive note I would like to say that I did thoroughly enjoy those parts of the tournament I was able to see. The production was top notch, the casting incredible and the games were all of extremely high quality both in terms of skill and in entertainment value. I am currently working my way through the VODs and are awaiting the finals in eager anticipation.
So thank you for putting on such a great show. I hope that your future projects prove to be even more successful.

Well said.
Sadly Justin.tv is unwatchable for me where Ustream and Livestream both works flawlessly. :/
