<3 Classic. I hope they don't reuse the old ones, after three days of seeing the same commercials last year I was pretty much brainwashed.. still dream of them.
I laughed hysterically for all 3 days whenever that Doritos Samurai started running at him.

I'm confident this will be an improvement over the 2 hour delay last time, hah.

Your first MLG? If we look back at season 2010 the stream will be online in about 2-3 hours.

"How to watch" -> stay tuned.
Is there any stream on yet?

My Gum just Changed Flavour!!
BERRY TO MIIINT!

The stuff that's down is their main servers, which are not hosted from the convention centre. The convention centre transmits the video stream, sure, but the rest of it (registration, payment, the forums) are run off servers in a regular hosting facility.
nginx is a pretty decent server, so either they're getting crushed by traffic or have some kind of bug that they didn't notice until under heavy load.
|
Does anyone know what kind of quality the stream will be? Maybe based off of past MLGs? Just wondering, and haven't seen it posted, thanks.
|
You guys could probably stop F5ing the site. That'd probably help it get back up faster.
You could just F5 this thread instead, because someone's obviously going to post when it's up.

@MLG will be up in sec. Where did all you people come from? Adding servers like mad to the web pool now... less than 10 seconds ago via TweetDeck Haha, nice.

Wow... I hit F5 for a second and my page went down, can't see the blog, can't see the stream. FML.
It better be fixed real fast, I actually paid for the HD.
|
are the group stage games single, or are they all best of 3?

And from what I remember it happens with MLG every time. A bit amateuristic :/ It's actually probably not their fault. They have to rely on the convention centers internet connection.
That is still MLG's fault. When they chose the convention center they probably inquired as to what guarantees could be made with respect to connection. You can blame MLG for having used a convention center with a not good enough connection, just like you could have blamed them if they used a too small convention center. However this happens pretty much every mlg. Stream will probably be delayed 15min, but once it gets up I doubt it will have major issues.

I see. Thanks, relyt and NPF.
|
I can see the blog and the stream, and nothing is up yet.
|
Sc2 nerds manage to bring yet another site to its knees. GO TEAM!
