Lets set up a MLG drinking game:

- lag: take a sip
- freeze: take a shot
- commercial: take a shot
- "Something went wrong": finish your drink
- game delay: finish your drink

So, it seems that drinking games are now competing to see which will kill participants the fastest?

maybe they should just get an account at ustream.tv and avoid these problems...

Their official word, or at least reason for not using these streaming processes is because the bandwidth isn't sufficient at these events to ensure a high quality stream.

So far this has been a pretty terrible showing for MLG's Starcraft 2 support......I would really like if we got any kind of information as to WHY all of this is happening.

I was going to buy the pass, but there is no reason to at all, nor would I want to give any money to this organization if this is what they bring to the scene.

NASL please don't let this happen to you!!!

Delayed purchasing an HQ stream pass because MLG is notorious for these issues, and wanted to see how things were working technically. Was hoping they addressed them for 2011, but it looks like they haven't. Definitely keeping my money on this one.

I keep hoping that next time, maybe MLG's streaming will get better. I want to support esports. I keep buying an HD pass every season, and this KEEPS happening. Now I can't even see the homepage. Unless every time there is an order of magnitude more viewers than before, there is no excuse for this happening this many times in a row.

Stream crashing, bad quality, weird looking contrast, octoshape even failed so hard it didn't work on either Firefox or IE and I had to install chrome for it to even function. Octoshape has taken my 20mb down / 5mb up connection down to a crawl and I still see ads on top of all this every time I switch my HD button to see if I can actually tell the difference from LQ.

Not to mention that I believe octoshape is P2P, so it's not like MLG is even using the money to maintain streaming servers. I'm paying to have MLG gobble up my bandwidth and give me almost the same exact quality. This is just greedy. They could just partner with justin.tv, cut a bit of the profit and have a perfect beautiful stream. Look at TSL's stream. I'm sure justin.tv would be THRILLED to stream the SC2 MLG.

I'm a polite, understanding person, but this has gotten beyond that point. I intermittently see day9 for 5 seconds and then the whole thing goes down again. They should be paying me $50 to waste my afternoon hitting f5. This isn't melodrama, this complete crap. GSL, TSL, IEM can all do it right the first time, MLG STILL can't do it.

I'm done supporting MLG.

No one is more upset than I am with the issues we're having. Stream quality should be better. Stability is still a struggle.

Top Story today. 4000+ internet geeks have suffered alcohol poisoning today.

When asked what happen, one teen-aged patient said "Stick a fork in those buns" before calling out "Nurse!"

This.

I can't really believe people are defending MLG at this point.

Hey. Hey guys. We're talking about eSports. Yeah, eSports, not MLG. You know, that thing which is only one tournament series out of many?

That is not "Event Production 101" but rather Reading Comprehension 101.
