The other games are team leagues. 20k for 4 players (halo/Blackops) or 5k for SC2. Same per person. | ||

This is pretty impressive, and it's not like it's their first SC2 event so I wonder what happened for the traffic to be so high. It certainly shows how great teamliquid has handled TSL3, with their 30 000+ viewers; the stream was fine for me. TSL3 wasn't broadcasted live and is not a huge tournament taking place at a convention center. Anyone that's actually been to a convention in one of those centers knows that the internet is awful. | ||

This is pretty impressive, and it's not like it's their first SC2 event so I wonder what happened for the traffic to be so much higher than the previous ones. It also certainly shows how great teamliquid has handled TSL3, with their 30 000+ viewers; the stream was still fine for me. Try 50K+ viewers. | ||

Guess i'll assume they haven't played yet since nothing was was posted from TL on twitter about the results. | ||

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.. This works wonders, thanks | ||
