This is something I re-iterated awhile ago. Yes, IEM refused to use Octoshit and yes they had wonderful coverage, and yes they did have some issues, but no, we didn't have this level of fuckery.

QFT. Totally outclassed mlg. really, all the way.

Saddest thing...

I went from watching sweet idra game -> crash -> can't even get adds to load.

Not only does the stream not work, I can't even give them add munnies, fail MLG is fail.

Long live the NASL!

*sigh* I was really looking forward to watching MLG, but this is impossible, I can't get the stream to work, and by the looks of it nor can anyone else. I don't want to be too critical, but seriously I think this is the only major starcraft event I've attempted to watch where things went this terribly bad.

Hopefully they'll get this fixed in time for the finals, but I'm not holding my breath.

Woo, getting commercials. Somehow this does not make me want to drink dr.pepper... in fact, I'll probably subconsciously relate it to disappointment.

This is the first SC2 tournament I've watched entirely on Twitter.

I am getting pretty frustrated with MLG at this moment. I saw how terrible the LQ stream was so I shelled out $10 for the HQ stream hoping the lag and server instability would be a less severe issue. Apparently they didn't expect anyone to actually watch the stream because it has gone down after almost every match (or frozen mid-match for 30 seconds to a minute). On top of that I still have to watch ads (normally I am ok with it but I was hoping part of my $10 would allow me to go add-free). Overall, I am disappointed in MLG at this moment. I really hope admins for the NASL are taking notes about how to not mess up a streaming service this badly. Oh well.

On the plus side, IdrA was looking very strong against Socke. I think he has a seriously good chance to take this. I really feel like his game sense is so much better than even a couple months ago (when he is not playing cocky).
