You know how much bandwidth that is? This is textbook overload. This is how hackers shut down websites, they send massive amounts of user connections causing server overload and failure. It's what happened here at MLG but it was the gamers this time that ended the website. You can't test your servers for something of this proportion Except they're having internet issues at the venue. The users watching the stream aren't touching that connection. The stream source at the venue goes out to a CDN and the CDN rebroadcasts it to the users. They are having issues at the venue, which is basically unacceptable. There is no excuse. | ||

MLG doesn't deserve anyone's support AT ALL. If they can't provide a decent service, they should crash and burn. I don't think you, uh, get it. | ||

They don't know it's going to happen ... => But it happened the last few times. You can't stress test your servers ... => Yet hosting companies and other tournaments do so. It isn't feasible ... => But GOM, other tournaments and some random eagle stream can do it. | ||

You can't test your servers for something of this proportion lol, i love how u say "this is how hackers shut down servers" then follow it up with "you cant test it". get a "hacker" in there, and have him run as many simultaneous connections as you expect to get. if your stream crashes, then get more bandwidth. its not rocket science. It's these people's job to make sure this doesn't happen, you make it sound like every livestream in the world for major events is just some luck of the draw crapshoot on whether it will crash or not. Get real, there's plenty of ways to prepare, and they know what kinds of numbers to expect. Plenty of livestreams get this right ALL THE TIME. MLG has no excuse for this. | ||

You're all being insensitive to the facts, and YOU yourself are shaming e-sports. You've managed to completely discredit the top industry in gaming because you failed to account for internet stability. What MLG needs right now is your support not for you to sit around here and rage because the stream goes offline. Think about it everyone thousands of people connecting to a single source for 3 separate channels of content. Stop crying, and just go take a break check back routinely. Go watch a Broodwar stream or something else. Complain to Blizzard please ... they are the ones responsible for the lag of BNet 2.0 and they should know events like this would be happening. | ||

YOU CAN'T SHARE BANDWIDTH OF SUCH A MASSIVE SCALE. Your stream would fail like it's failed several times for justintv and ustream when these tournaments take place too many people flood the channel and it lags and resets and it's just an awful experience. Lose AD revenue? What? They provide their own stream and are sponsored by many companies | ||

Go watch a Broodwar stream or something else. Oh please. This is not the first MLG event, so they have their own numbers, they can calculate how much they need or can afford and then cap the stream at a certain viewer number. This is not an open lanparty, you don't have people generating high traffic that is out of your hand, it's their setup and everything falls under their controle. Somebody doesn't know what he's doing and now everyone pays for it. | ||
