Think about this everyone.

You have three events taking place.SC2, Black Ops, and Halo Reach, you have open brackets for PC with hundreds of players playing non-stop, additionally you have connection on both consoles putting even more stress on the ISP. Now to top it all of you're streaming all of this data. Now they accounted for all of this, but what they didn't account for is 128 countries watching additionally and the sudden surge of players onto the stream and website causing it to fail.

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.

You can't account for 100,000+ people instantly connecting to your stream. 128 countries additionally, streaming high quality. Have you ever streamed before? 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

Seriously. Do you realize how hard Sundance must be raging right now?? If he is refunding us, what do you think the sponsors are demanding? Most people here are just dicking around on a Sunday, but this is their profession and livelihood. With all of the other major tourneys on the way, this could be a major blow to MLG's future viability.
That said. I think some of the problems were out of their control somewhat.
