Dude that would be dangerous. People could die if they did that!

* the stream works
Sadly, there is major fail on this point. No complaints that MLG wants to turn a revenue stream, but then your service better work consistently. Off to bed.
I think it's funny that MLG Sundance went on SoTG to talk up this year's MLG and totally didn't care about the stream component. Yeah Octoshape sucks, but we're going to use it anyway!

Yeah this is getting completely ridiculous, MLG is making a mockery of any professionalism they had with their name. I really hope they can get this fixed and have no problems the rest of the weekend. Or at the least explain why it is worse than ever before in delay's and technical difficulties.

I can't even see ads. What the sponsors are paying for? LOL.

Yeah, EU go to bed and wake up in 5 hours for MVP

Haha, yeah I considered making this into a drinking game as well but I don't want to pass out only having seen one series O.o

I'm trying to hard to stay awake but really I don't even know if it's worth it anymore. 1 series in over 2 hours of waiting and don't even know if there will be more problems. This is disheartening.

Well, some people see stuff when others are still stuck. And the only way I have seen a stream again is by refreshing.

We're sorry, but something went wrong.
We've been notified about this issue and we'll take a look at it shortly.

i'm just going to sit here and sip on some delicious Dr. Pepper while chewing stride gum and talk to my bros on my Sony Ericson phone while i wait for the stream to come back

"look at me i'm MLG! trololololol"
seriously guys? c'mon. its 2nd april already.

I don't think they are prepared for the number of SC2 viewers they have gained...
They had some last year,
before that they were used to people tuning in for Halo and WoW...
The SC scene is bigger then pretty much the scenes from Halo + WoW combined (people who'd actually watch something like this)
Now they know, they are not prepared, and we are killing them.

MLG is gonna get sooo many extra add views from this, they'll have money to just buy the internet and stop all other traffic to make sure the stream works. Hard to get more ad views when your userbase gets tired of the stream and quits. It's not entirely smart to piss off your entire stream userbase, no matter how many "free" commercials they get. I thought it would have been obvious enough that I wasn't serious when I suggested that MLG bought the internet...
