I have watched maybe 5 minutes of gameplay in the last hour, this is really horrible. Regardless of what the issue is, this is fucking terrible. I feel bad for the people who want to be refunded since MLG makes it pretty clear that they dont give a shit what the viewers think. | ||

They know that the internet is bad, but there's nothing they can do about it. What are they going to do, shove 300 people into someone's house? | ||

MLG really are rather incompetent, no backup plan for the entirely foreseeable possibility that their servers get swamped. people just want the games to go on, which LAN would 100% solve. the stream is working fine for many of us | ||

You won't be seeing any advertisements either (instead you just see "Stream will resume momentarily" static screen during the commercial breaks) The stream is LQ flash-stream where the browser falls back in case you don't have Octoshape installed. It is streamed via Akamai (_the_ premier content delivery network) and they have a ton of capacity to handle live streams unlike (apparently) Octoshape. It bums me a lot that MLG haven't got their stuff together considering the huge amount of funding they received from VCs. Don't really understand their decision still to continue using Octoshape even after all the problems that have been reported to them on previous occasions - and especially use it exclusively in HQ stream. Akamai's delivery costs are considerably higher than Octoshape's, but where in earth they are planning to use all the freaking dollars they got - the live streaming from the events is in the core of their business that I don't quite understand their decision making with regards to tech choices.. Deserves re-post! Thanks man! | ||
