This thread, especially since I really want you to elaborate on that point given how imo this is the best production they have ever had at an arena O.o
The whole tournament looks like it is taking place in 2 rooms, with absolutely no live audience. The observing computer has a low framerate even when the graphics settings have been turned down in order to improve performance. Although I really like the analysis screen, MLG really needs to start rehearsing some of this stuff. The screen is too big so the casters have to stand partially in front of it, making it kind of awkward (most notably Axslav saying "look how fast the supply is dropping" when his head is in the way so you can't see it anyways). Also, why is everyone but Axslav wearing a suit? It's not necessarily his fault either, MLG has done enough events that they should have some extra clothing lying around. I don't think the casters should be entirely responsible for their appearance. A little makeup and hair styling could go a long way.
Perhaps "production" wasn't the right word, but I think this is a little less entertaining than the events with large audiences. This tournament has good games but absolutely no atmosphere. Even GOMTV's studio is more exciting than this.
It's basically just an extra event, MLG can't afford to have like 6 live championships, so they have arenas instead. This isn't an event for crowds to shout at every worker killed, it's just for the games, sort of like an online tourney. Your 'issues' with the event are just nit picking at its best, I mean Axslav doesn't need to wear a suit, he is a player, and will therefore represent his team. It's ridiculous to criticise someone's clothing, especially when they are wearing a team jersey. You can't really rehearse analysing a live game, and the player's won't be trained in speaking, hence some awkwardness, but training really isn't needed for just a weekend of analysis.
Lower your standards, because you are expecting perfection.
He makes a valid point about the pc's though. Its not so hard to get a machine that can run SC2 at high smoothly, this is not battlefield 3.
I wouldn't be surprised to hear that the hardware is fine, it just seems there are driver issues. The Premium stream has glitchy graphics, warpgates look glowy cheerios.
the PC's MLG use are the same NASL use. the are certainly good enough to run sc2. not sure what the problem is.

You can move units out of a storm. You cant move units out of an EMP.

Yeh can you please provide numbers? I call complete bullshit on Sc2 being more pirated than BW and Wc3, that's just impossible.
Also due to the server-side calculation there is no real cracked Starcraft 2 multiplayer. Apparently you even have to use a real account to play offline with the "lan-hack" so... that doesn't count at all.
Just do a google search it's easy to find. It's obvious that starcraft 2 has been pirated more because it has been popular in a age where torrents and pirating of games in general has become much more prevalent.
It's pretty annoying to hear at every big tournament that there is a new best player of race X in the world... I mean Oz was crowned best Protoss this weekend, and next weekend MC or Seed will get the crown, when one of them wins GSL. Now Taeja is the best terran in the world until MVP or Marineking or anyone else wins a big thing.... I really hate this overhyping...

his random was fucking cool, he even hit lvl 50 playing undead with no heroe :D
sickest builds playing random too, and i will never forget when he beat Sky 2-0 in HU mirror (i think it was a WCG qualifier?)
