its funny how people are mntioning 1 game in the GSL. I have watched every gsl for the past 3 months. one or two mouse / headset problems and the dimaga mvp thing which was sorted inside 10 minutes.
MLG issues are taking HOURS to sort out EVERY DAY. the fact you are even comparing the two is laughable. The GSL and the MLG are two very different events. The GSL does not move but once a season (for finals) and has control of every aspect of their facility. Not to mention Korean internet infrastructure is better than the USA (the entire country is smaller than the sate of Florida so it helps). GSL did manage to put out some games from some kinda ice rink in a amusement park yesterday with no problems, there first time there.
They also didn't play halo, cod and a 256 man tournament at the same time either. It's really apples and oranges logistics wise, and misjudging the infrastructure at the venue just kind of spiraled to a lot of problems.

Thoughts become words. Words become actions. Actions become habits. Habits become character. Character becomes destiny. In other-words being a good sportsman starts with sportsmanship and conversely bad sportsmanship creates bad sportsmen.

I don't think anyone cares if a player gets emotional once in a while. What irritates most people is when a player gets emotional EVERY time they lose and when a player shows overconfidence before every game they play. Sure, if you have the skills like MC then having great confidence doesn't make you look bad, but if you keep saying how everyone else at a tournament are scrubs, then lose to half of them and whine, it starts getting a bit annoying.
I like watching Idra play in tournaments mostly because it is fun to watch people like him lose. I would respect him more and probably even cheer for him if he acted more humbly though.

When is a loss viewed as 'acceptable' for a player? I don't blame Idra for thinking that way. Today we saw maybe the 2 foreigners with the most emotion riding in their play. We all know Huk gets very down after losing because he likes to have the confidence that he is the very best. While Idra is on the opposite end of the spectrum and gets mad/sad when he loses because he believes the opponent is a newbie.
Even as an Idra fan I couldn't be more happy watching that series:D even if it was off a replay and I knew the result. Here's hoping for a rematch in the champion bracket!

MC GGs. MC doesn't call other players scrubs. MC is humbled by losses and gives them props. MC "no comments" about balance. MC says he needs to practice more to beat foreigners. Big difference. His (over) confidence, almost comic book bravado, gets him hyped and seems to work for him but really not even negative emotion to be found from what I can tell. IdrA is just to negative.

Stress in itself causes some pretty bad cognitive issues for an RST player. poor judgement, negative outlook , along with all the physical symptoms. This can't be helped much, it something everyone has to deal with. But Anger, cause a whole other set of cognitive issues that are much worse then just stress.
"Anger makes people think more optimistically. Dangers seem smaller, actions seem less risky, ventures seem more likely to succeed, unfortunate events seem less likely. Angry people are more likely to make risky decisions, and make more optimistic risk assessments." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anger#Cognitive_effects
Idra needs learn some kind coping method otherwise he's walking into games with a very real handicap.And I bet other players do try to target this flaw.

GSL is so far ahead of MLG in every single way it is not even funny. I dont care for your fancy setups and flashy adverts, I want quality sc2 that i can watch. MLG do not provide that. Oh and please, dont use the " more viewers on mlg" . A organisation will know with even a little market research how many potential viewers they will get in a best and worst case senario and how to provide for it. Sure, MLG has problems other than battlenet, but fact remains, they have been screwed by no lan several times now. Part of the problem would be solved if Blizzard weren't so scared of pirates. A lot of their issues fall on themselves, but a lot also falls on Blizzard. you sound like an MLG employee clutching at straws. IEM, GSL, Blizzcon. non of these events have had anything like the problems here. in fact, unless people point out specific games, i dont even notice any disconnects in those tournaments as so few happen. I have yet to hear of players in GSL or IEM pause the game due to lag. its nothing to do with battle net, its to do with a lack of bandwidth at the site. I dont agree with an excuse being used that does not effect other events on such a ridiculous scale. In fact you say they have been "screwed several times". well apart from the fact that no other event has been screwed on such a large scale, why havnt they learnt? they surely must know by now what is required to run an sc2 tournement that lacks LAN support. they must have wondered how other events run with no lan support. its not as if GSL or IEM have a LAN version of sc2 What the hell? I'm clutching at straws for explaining why no LAN is messing up tournaments? "Unless you point out specific games" - what's that even supposed to mean? Then I could say "oh, unless you point out MLG's Internet issues, there's no problem!". In fact, I think you sound like a Blizzard employee desperately trying to justify not including LAN functionality. I couldn't remember if IEM had had any issues with no LAN, but a quick google search told me that they have had disconnects. http://us.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/540694998Justifying no LAN by saying "they should have a better connection" is stupid, because if there was LAN, that specific problem wouldn't exist.
You are completely clutching at straws, MLG knew about this issue beforehand, did absolutely nothing to prepare for it and they can't even stream a game and play one at the same time. Some other tournaments have had some disconnects, but to compare that to MLG, seriously? MLG was supposed to be streaming about 17 hours so far, from friday to saturday, We have seen 4 maybe 5 series live in those 17 hours. I've seen maybe 3 hours of live matches from MLG out of 17 hours of supposed streaming, and you are really comparing them to other tournaments? Punch yourself in the face a few times and wake up. There is no excuse, because they knew about this, its not like its some totally new idea that just popped up yesterday. There has been no LAN for a year now.

This is as much Blizzard's fault as it is MLG's, I hope people will flame them just as bad. I would if every other tournement had the same problems... but they dont. Other tournaments have problems all the time. Dimaga v MVP in the GSL was just a week ago. yes but they fix the problem and get going inside 10minutes. they let you know whats happening because the stream works. All matches are available to watch within a few hours, how many mlg matches are available? how many have even been streamed live? i have bought gom season tickets and the service has been superb. to even try and justify MLG by using the odd disconnect is laughable.

Nowhere am I saying LAN would fix everything. I have said LAN would fix a lot of MLGs problems, which is entirely true. Never have I said MLG isn't at fault for a spotty Internet connection.
Maybe try and understand the discussion before joining it, thanks.
