We will be moderating harshly in this thread. Think twice before you post. Things we are watching for: image macros, balance whining, "eagles", player bashing etc. We encourage civil and reasoned critique of our moderation - please post it in the website feedback forum.
Please don't complain about MLG stream quality or MLG itself. They work very hard to provide you with an enjoyable service.
Enough with the racism discussions, this is a LR Thread. Cut it out. -- updated 7:55 KST

Because Thorzain can hear the casters. Would you rather have MLG continuing the games and later find out that Thorzain could hear everything MC was doing?
Show the game without casters. It's no rocket science.
THEY CAN SEE THE FUCKING SCREEN.
Damn people pay attention to the thread.
So turn off the screen? It's still no rocket science.
There's people there, live, in seats, in front of that screen. What do you want them to watch?
Honestly, they should just have the booths somewhere else if they're not going to show the matches that are being played. Off in the back or something.

WTF
God Damnit.... seriously read the thread or liveblog or twitter before posting useless whine.... again for the 900000000000000000000000000th time THEY CANT SHOW THOSE GAMES... players can hear crowd/commentators and see the big screen that it would be broadcast on!
the question is, who is playing on the main stage? i would assume no one cause nothing is being shown. so what's the logical thing to do?? oh yes MOVE THEM THE FUCK INTO THE BOOTHS ON MAIN STAGE AND PLAY.
damn yo my brain worked overtime for that solution.
Of course it's easy to do that when the game is already being played. And I wouldn't like having to move in the middle of a series if I were a player
ya man it takes like 5 minutes to set up, and it was probably only maybe 3 minutes into that particular game. im sure the players wouldnt mind that viewers/spectators wanted to watch their games.
I actually don't think you/we should pick on IdrA. It was just a complete miscalculation. I'm pretty certain he thought MMA took another 3rd and was setting up his fourth base there. If the Terran sets up a 4th in that position even with turrets and slow pushes you - you are dead.
You can't blame IdrA that he didn't think off MMA destroying his own command center and leaving the game when he thought he couldn't stand the Terran reinforcements or the push that would come after the big fight. Obviously you can argue about his attitude leaving a game early when its not 100% over, but in his head, he just wants to get it over with (I assume) and leaves the game when HE is certain that he lost without wasting his time and energy to come back in a lost game.
I also think it was a mistake to leave the game in that position, but I can clearly understand on what he based the decision and don't insult him for that. Actually I think you guys insult and blame him because you are upset - but he is the person that will probably facepalm and bite his own ass when he saw the replay.. so give the man some credit for his amazing play instead.

So disable the screen? is this a problem?...
So irrational, all the people in there played 30-70 dollars to watch or play in games. I paid the same amount you did to watch this event, nothing. Disabling the screens is a slap in the face to all their paying customers.
Just ignore the hormone addled thinking. Ret with the sick muta numbers.

Wow. So they should turn off the screen to appeal to non-paying customers over the people who shelled out cash to watch the games in person (and spent money on plane tickets, etc.)
MC and Thor are playing at featured stations, not the main stage. At these stations the crowd can literally stand 2-3 ft from them and they can hear the crowd reactions the whole time. They can hear everything basically.
On the stage is where the sound booths are. They can't stream featured stations because of the sound and the big screen. You can't really shut off the big screen either because watching the featured station is just rows of people standing up. Gets really crowded fast. Kinda hard to explain but MLG does it so they can try to keep the crowd spread out a bit so people can watch who they want too. We don't have that option online.
If a main stage game ends faster than featured stations, they can't just switch to a featured station to cast it.
