EPTI've no problem with staying up, but this MLG won't have alot of viewers from europe. 2am to 10am is the most ridiculous time ever to stay up. If you wan't to watch MLG you need to change you're whole weekend and sleep from 10am to 10pm... what makes you miss the whole EU Sport like Formula1/Football :p

And now today, like many, I realize the time was wrong (no hard feelings, last time I tried to convert myself and I messed it up 5 times in a row..) so that's a bummer. But! I have already adjusted my game plan. The rebroadcast is perfect, it even almost rebroadcasts twice before the next day starts and they cut out the downtime as well. So that is really good. The only thing will be that a huge part of the fun is watching it live and talking in IRC. Getting that feeling of being connected, that you are there, sharing this moment in time and you know what the other person is feeling. As of now, I have to force myself to not give that too much value because there is no way I'm going to watch from 2 AM into the morning. I'm just gonna wake up and watch GSL. Hope MLG is finished it's first night so I can tune into the rebroadcast and not get spoiled. (Like at the end and they say what happened earlier... no thanks lol). I will then stay in isolation. I'm gonna un-homepage TL. I'm gonna see if I can embed the MLG stream, like only use the popout links from tl or something, so that I wont be able to see the MLG website, and the little Live On twittery box that says, Epic day, NaNiwa 2-0d DRG ezpz and is first in his pool. I want to believe in him and see him do it right in front of my eyes. Then, when the first day is over, everything changes. This is very important, it;s only the first day that is kinda messed up. 2nd and 3rd day start at like 8. If you watch till 12 and go to back you can watch what you missed by going to bed from like.. 1300 to 1800 or something during the day at your own leisure. And then the final day will be a shorter day where, I haven't checked actually. The finals occur at like 2 AM eurotime. Which is a sacrifice one needs to make but doesn't compare to a complete 180 on your sleep schedule which is also very hard to revert back, for me at least. Summary: - For one day give up the live special feeling and be content with doing that the 2nd and 3rd days. - De-homepage TL. - Bookmark the Red and Blue stream popout links to avoid the MLG site. - Start watching the ~start of MLG re-broadcast after GSL Finals. - Stay in Isolation (lockdown) until you have finished watching the re-broadcast, after that the internet will be safe again. - Rest of the days won't need drastic measures, maybe cut of the last 3-4 hours and apply the method above to it, if you decide it's enough and you value taking a rest. It should be ok, even though it's a bummer, there is just nothing they can do. It's just how it works. Ultimately you are responsible for what time you have available and also for if you decide to spoil yourself. Make the best of it, Best of luck! Edit: with the pass I believe you can rewind and forward quite a bit, and it will still be nice quality of course so I don't see this having any affect on the value I place on the pass. | ||

But i dont get this VOD / rebroadcast System Assuming I want to be a full Free user ( so no passes whatsoever) what am I able to watch beside the live free Stream ? Are there LQ free VOD`s which get uploaded right after the first day ? Some people talked about a rebraodcast / restream of the Event, is this also available to free users and when does it starts ? What are my possibilities as a free User to catch the games missed since I dont want to stay up untill 2:00 ? It would be really great if some one give me an clarification here, even since I think this issue interests alot of people PS: my first post after a long time of reading only in the TL community.. so.. you guys are awesome ! ( just had to be said) | ||

I'm at +9 h time zone... so if the start in friday at 6pm, here in Italy will be 3am. Impossible watch anything. I probably can wake up early to see the final friday night event... but there's the GSL final to watch too... probably i start looking at MLG from Day 2 or 3. Any news about the VOD aviability? | ||
