Whenever I try to go back or change it around it reboots from the start again. Anyone got any ideas? Yea you just have to watch the stream from the start, and pray there is absolutely nothing interrupting it or you have to start all over again. | ||

MLG taking several steps backwards with this event  Did nothing to capitilze on IPL's lackluster performance or the fact that IEM blew them out of the water. | ||

So I guess that makes him worthless and it's OK he can't watch anything? Lets be real here, with a 7+ hour Flash stream, what are the chances it won't crash before you get to the end? And then you have to start all over. So basically, you can watch the first few hours of the show, and those first few hours you've already seen the day before prior to going to sleep at 1am or whatever. Also, watching the whole show live is fine because you know that they are setting up games and the long delays between games (aka casters "analyzing the game") are fine, but watching that the day after is really a horrible experience. I actually supported their Arena PPV thing although I knew I wasn't going to be buying it (nor did i "pirate" it, i.e. watch restreams etc.). So now they make up a story how the Arenas were so successful that they are canceling them and everything will be freemium - except they didn't say that means Europeans can't watch without HD passes. Btw, $15 might not be much for most people MLG cares about (mainly NA folks), but if you're making 3-4 times less in salary than the average US person and have higher living expenses than in the US, then the economics of buying the HD pass get a whole lot different. | ||

You know, it might sound like it to you, but that's clearly not what I said. I was considering buying an HD ticket for the last MLG, and I would surely buy one if it meant I couldn't have watched the Kespa players last time. I was also considering buying a ticket with my friends for the MLG before that, so we could watch together in HD. But now, I don't want to buy anything from a company that presumes that having such sadistic functionality as being able to watch the rebroadcast, but not rewind it, is a good idea. That's there clearly just to irritate people into buying it. Personally I would prefer for MLG to convince me to buy it by having really good production quality and extra perks. I don't know, I'm just weird like that, I guess. I mean I watched the hell out of the last IEM. I watched for free, in HD, I had access to VODs in a really short amount of time and also replay packs of all the games played. Now next time that IEM asks 10$ or 15$ for 1080p or something, I will seriously consider buying it, even though watching in 720p is just fine for me, but I would like to support them. Because the quality they gave out for free was better than anything I saw MLG dish out. It can only get more awesome with our financial support right ? And like budar said, a 15 or 30$ dollar investment isn't trivial to some people, especially in SC2 target audience, ie. probably not yet employed young males. | ||

Ok, fair enough. what would MLG need to do for you to pull you over the line? serious question! Is the ability of viewing the rebroadcast with rewind and fast forward functionality enough? or is there something extra that would also need to happen before you are convinced? Because most previous MLGs offered the rewind and fast forward functionality. | ||
