Okay we're going to start cracking down on people bashing players for no reason. You don't have to like every player, but at least show some respect. (as of page 402)

step 1 - emp the ht's causing the storm step 2 - a move marines
When there is a MLG in cali, smart people will leave the state for the weekend. With the luck MLG brings, there will be a 1000 year earthquake the weekend it happens.

So if venue internet isn't sufficient and weather interrupts satellites, exactly what would they rely on? Magic?
Maybe ask the Dreamhack Guys, how they do it?
Are you fucking kidding? Were the Dreamhack guys in the US where the average internet connection is less than 1mbps? No they were in super speed internet Sweden. Did the Dreamhack guys have to use other options like Satellite because the uncontrollable internet couldn't handle it? No. Did Dreamhack's final option get screwed up because of monster weather? No. Did Dreamhack have nearly as much players playing on the same internet as MLG does from the open bracket? No, especially not on inferior internet connection that NOBODY can control because America is a much less densely populated and spread out country. Get your head out of your ass.
Noooooooooo. Prerecorded intros on both streams while they work on it. Red doesn't have sound either ATM. MLG Columbus was going sooooooo well. I feel bad for Sundance, he's put his soul into making this MLG work and then the weather screws him over. Hopefully it's only temporary. +1 to the MLG in Phoenix, I'd 100% buy a ticket.

I am pretty sure image macros are not allowed. But on topic, you really cannot blame MLG for this. It is a thunderstorm. Completely random and when they booked the venue, they cannot really check the weather for a place a year in advance. It's the beginning of June. I don't think they really expected this.

We apologize for this delay- while we switch to backups, we will air rebroadcasts from today's action.
Its okayy, don't mind these trolls day9 and wheat doing a great job entertaining me xD

Are you blaming the city for having a thunderstorm?
What else am I supposed to blame? Bad luck?
You have to blame someone or something? It would make as much sense to blame yourself for not being there live. Except that's something you have control over. The city, or MLG for that matter, has no control over the weather.
I was joking, I can't believe you thought I was seriously blaming columbus for having a thunderstorm...
