It's either Time Warner being terrible, or it's someone ddos'ing? Alternately, it's the New York Comic Con. Besides IEM, every other booth probably requires bandwidth. Then there's the NYCC Live stream. Then, every person attending probably has at least one device that can connect to wi-fi. And then, it's in New York City, so there's a metric fuckton of other people around, also using the internet. The pipes might be getting a little clogged. Or maybe someone is doing a massive Keynote livestream. Who knows. It's almost as if IEM could have foreseen the amount of traffic and provided redundant connections for the players and used a satellite link to send the video somewhere less congested. Sure. Satellite link - via a cable running out of the venue, down a street, and to wherever they paid 25k to park the satellite uplink truck in a glass and steel canyon that it can't transmit out of. Certainly, solving these problems in NYC must be simple, cheap, and easily done to make our viewing experience seamless and free. Can you stop that ? It's annoying. Stop what? Trying to bring a little reality into the conversation regarding people attempting to ding IEM for problems they know nothing about and lack even the most basic of technical knowledge about? Oh please. You have no technical knowledge of anything. Go ahead, regale us with tales of how tall buildings to the left and right of you interfere with satellite communications, which travel horizontally. Okay. When setting up a satellite network link, you must first find the beacon signal for the satellite. This allows you to accurately point the dish to send and receive the radio signal. Now, the vast majority of places you are, this will require you to aim the dish at the satellite. This will depend on your location and geography - as an example, when pointing a Hughesnet dish towards one of their satellite constellation, I'm required to aim the dish (from one location) at approximately 121 degrees with a 59 degree azimuth. Then I have to spend about 15 minutes refining this pointing of the dish to get the strongest signal possible. Now, when there are obstructions (for example, aluminum jet wash baffles), this means that I may need to move the location of the dish for a less obstructed line of site, or relocate the dish upwards to avoid obstructions. Now, I can point the dish over an obstruction, but only if I can still lock the beacon signal from that position. + Show Spoiler +Sorry, but I am involved in both HF and satellite based emergency communications as a collateral to my main job. TL;dr - Yes, line of sight matters, and very large buildings can block you from it. They can be next to you, down the street, or six blocks away, depending on their height. There's a reason why most rooftops in NYC have giant antenna farms.
"this will require you to aim the dish at the satellite."
That's exactly what I said?
"There's a reason why most rooftops in NYC have giant antenna farms."
Yes, so USE them.

He still has a series against State to finish, where he is up one game.

It's like one of those you-tube ads which you don't skip because you expect it to end.
Then it ends up being the 10 minute long ad.

Even the stream decides that that's enough of this guy and starts playing music instead.

Ok what is everyone watching? Because im looking at a topview of the venue with an annoying guy talking stuff about some movement gui he doesn't even wanna own.
|
I like to see the back of the speaker when he is speaking, such a nice camera angle.

I wonder how people/players would respond to reducing the size of unit control groups so you can't just bunch an entire army or muta pack on one control group..
Make muta balls much high skill to use.
reduce death ball usage I would think.
I think it would be nothing but pro's compared to the cons of just not being able to have every unit selected at once...
Maybe not BW groups of 12 but maybe 15 or 20 max?

Just put 300 or 400 food so that people don't have to stop after 8-10minute of hardcore macro.
