I don't understand something. Stream is working and showing audience, Grubby and DDE are playing their match just not on main stage. We were watching Dj Wheat and JP talking for hours... and they have internet problems? /confused

And now this:

The Open Losers Bracket action is getting intense as the player field continues to narrow down. OLR4 is getting underway, with headline matches such as Destiny vs Axslav, Muder vs Whiplash and Inka vs Titan leading the way.

I am still confused. Anyone who is good with tech-stuff can explain or guess what is their REAL problem? I just can't connect dots. Stream of audience is working, studio stream is working, people are playing games almost all the time but we can't watch games because of internet problems... I just don't get it.

So..there's been a quick 10 min 2game set, and another halfish done set.

All in all, 3 and a half games, worth about 20 minutes of gametime.

Is that about right?

Wow, thats like half a night of a GSL night.... over the span of 2 days and who knows how many hours. Yikes..... =(. I was looking forward to this event too

That's not entirely accurate. GSL is 4 Bo3's a night, 5 at most. Still not very many games for 2 days so far.

MLG probably never asked for LAN support. If they did i bet blizzard would let them. SOOO ya not blizzards fault buds

Let's delineate this argument.

1) MLG has no LAN support
2) If MLG asked Blizzard for LAN support, they would receive it
3) If MLG didn't ask Blizzard for LAN support, they would be at fault for not having LAN support
-
C) MLG is at fault for not having LAN support.

Have you considered Alchemy instead?

I suppose LAN might make a comeback once Blizz settles the Kespa trial. It's the only actual reason they're not providing even GSL with a separate private battle.net server. They saw they made a big mistake by letting SC1 get out of their control. Cash cow shall not be given away again :D

But then again, WTS proper internet to MLG, games being played are nice but no proper streaming still does nothing to get them money.

Maybe so, but retards like MLG being the face of western E-sports is holding us back even more.

So, not entirely related, but while the stream is down, I'm watching the Black Ops stream. One of their casters sounds just like Mr. Lynch from Home Movies. Like, it's really confusing me, he sounds exactly like him. Here's a link to Mr. Lynch talking if you don't know who I mean.
