mlg's fault for not testing thoroughly and even attempting to run sc2 on crappy internet. sucks for everyone
IEM uses a travelling format and never seems to have major issues like MLG.
The network infrastructure is a lot better in Europe.... I bet the places they host at have giant network pipes... As they have a way better gaming base and know they need good connections, not just some T1 bundle...
pick a better venue. one would assume when picking a venue for an esports event broadcasted to 50,000+ viewers your internet access is a key concern when picking the venue. people making shitty excuses but here is the truth.
2 types of esports event:
Those that invest, provide a spectacle for the media, their sponsors, fans and players alike. Turn a good profit.
Those that minimally invest, provide a spectacle for the media, their sponsors and turn a tidy profit to line their own pockets.
Fact is, organisers can get a nice profit through advertising and sponsors and run a shitty evet for the fans. only those who truly care will run an all round good event.

Everyone is really angry with MLG and I can understand why you would be, but they are not doing this on purpose to troll everyone. Just remember that stuff happens and things like this might be out of their control. Not every event has been like this if you have seen other past events. Just because this event has turned out the complete opposite of how they wanted it to turn out doesn't mean that MLG is a terrible company who has no idea of what they are doing. If everyone thinks that it's so easy to run a tournament of this magnitude I encourage you to stop complaining and do it. Like I said I understand why everyone is frustrated, but some people just need to relax.

Stages of Grief Denial (this isn't happening to me!) Anger (why is this happening to me?) Bargaining (I promise I'll be a better person if...) Depression (I don't care anymore) <- I am here! Acceptance (I'm ready for whatever comes)
Where is Day9? Who is JulieAlexandria and is she bringing sandwiches for Dj Wheat and JP? I bet boys are damn hungry after entire day of chit-chatting.
