Hey MLG Adam. Is there anything you can do about unmuteable ads. Both MLG and Twitch have them now and they are the most annoyig thing.

watching with headphones nearly makes my ears bleed

Wanted to watch, but every second of the 10-25 minute break between games are back to back adds with no mute ........ Good Game.

use adblock

It's a good thing there is no difference in sound level between ads and the stream, because if that were the case, my fucking ears would just have blown out. I am so very appreciative for the numerous assurances that ads are no louder than the stream.
And Adblock IS OFF, how else would I be watching!? Stop asking me to turn it off when it was never on in the first place.

I do have it but they have it so the stream won't run when you have it on, so you have no choice.

Well, if you don't want to support TO's or their employees by using adblock you could just not watch SC at all. That would actually be even more effective.

Works for me. I don't really mind ads, but the volume is WAY louder than my actual stream volume. Seems to the norm with MLG's player =\.

I wouldn't mind it so much, but I like to listen to music when ads are on and you can't with the ads blaring over them. It's recently that both MLG and Twitch have these kinds of ads now.

Well, I think you can open up an instance of chrome/ff/opera/internetexplorer, something that you dont use much -- load the link, go to the Windows Sound Mixer and manually control it from there when the ads sdtart to play...
I just have it on mute and it works fine (in firefox). Im just glancing at the screen every now and then

You can try muting only the browser via the standard windows volume mixer. At least it works for me with chrome.

That's a pretty good idea, I'll probably start doing that.

Okay, so those ads I was complaining about before do mute on IE, but not on Firefox or Chrome. And you have to mute each one individually which is stupid. Sorry to bitch about them so much but they kind of suck

No adblock? Screw this. If you want me to watch ads, display them in between games, make tournament version of maps, etc. I refuse to watch this.

The stream doesn't even load because of adblock. I'm not gonna bother changing my settings when any tournament these days shows ads at the right time.

Sooo... ads aren't playing during the actual games (only during breaks), but you don't want to let the tournament take any revenue off them doing it correctly because you... are too lazy to turn off ad block?

I often times leave streams on even when I'm not watching because I'm playing games or something. Now, I've tried to watch it on TL, popped out the stream, and even tried watching on their site. Nothing worked. If they want to block me, fine. But I'm not interested in getting ads on other sites and I couldn't care less about tweaking it so that only the MLG stream will show ads. I'm not the one losing revenue, so it's not like I'm the one who has to worry or do something about it.

Yeah, he made the semis in that tournament Haypro won in the very beginning of SC, IIRC. Don't know, what it was called anymore though.

Sorry, you'll have to do without tired movie references and inarticulate yelling during engagements today. Just do what I do with 90% of all streams, mute and play music.

rob from production stepped on a cable

Did the stream just die for anyone else?

NASL sound guy has taken over for Rob from production

ok, bring Rob back or RIOT

Yeah, mute and music, only way to survive CatZ and Destiny. On the other hand TotalBiscuit streams ladder. Yeah TotalBiscuit it is. Sorry MLG, forced ads and worst casters ever makes me not watch you at all.

Fortunately the ads are still working. So we can reload and watch them over and over again while betting to see if the actual stream will be back afterwards...

I had this qualifier on my list of things to watch cause decent players and nice tourney with great memories.
Then I turned it on and it did not work unless I used no adblock. Then it showed me commercials again and again. Then, when finally the ingame footage could be seen, it was laggy as hell with more than 360p. Then it goes offline.
MLG lately really botches EVERY single sc2 thing they touch.
|
i actually enjoy catz and destiny as casters, they're really funny. when the stream is functional ofcourse, which seems to not be the case at all now
|
Can't they at least announce an announcement or something?
|
This was very poorly handled. It's getting late and I'm not willing to waste more time and energy just to get spammed with the same ads over and over. Good night.

From Twitter:
@Steven_Bonnell 2m
Major vs JonSnow coming up next on http://gammeon.gg/stream , restarting the modem here to fix some connection issues. <3

holy hell its playing 5 different ads at the same time.

Sure, but you're missing out on a pretty good tournament because you're being stubborn. You're probably missing out a lot more than they are. But whatever, you're more than welcome to whine and not watch.

Well, if I was a streamer and wanted to get rid of viewers, this is how I'd do it.

i cant even load stream, wtf.

I just made a point of speaking my mind so that other people can read it. If nobody says anything about what they dislike, things are much less likely to change And as you can probably see, I'm not the only one having problems with their stream. That aside, no matches in the bracket caught my eye today to be honest. By the way, the brackets look pretty messy for spectators.

i started watching at the start of the qualifier, they were showing catz' games.
i closed the stream
i came back a few hours later, it was violet vs huk on stream
huk was doing his thing you know and then huk horribly died i closed the stream
so i can't say too much but looking at the results it seems like violet is getting better and major had kinda a simple bracket.

What on earth is up with their stream.

Yay! It wouldn't be MLG without huk in the pool play

Why on earth isn't this featured on TL? Seriously, you have to promote your shit! It's a huge deal if people don't even know it's going on.

Uh oh I didnt get to ro16 in either qualifier so no qualifier #3 for me =,.=

i've submitted it its now listed ...

I'm amazed how MLG's GameOn ads consistently ignore the mute volume button, but then when I unmute it to listen to the game it stays muted.

looks like it just constant add spam

Fiddler's Green42661 Posts
yea, I'm out each ad lags my comp and too loud. I'll just check the brackets later.
|
Lol. Couldn't watch the TL linked stream because the same ad kept causing my flash player to repeatedly crash. Someone on reddit said that it might work if I watched it on their website front page. It worked for a few minutes, and then the stream crashes. I don't even care anymore. This streaming platform is awful.
I hope just hope MLG gets their shit together by Anaheim so they don't fuck up barcrafts.
|
The greed is strong with this stream.
|
This stream is an absolute clusterfuck, I'm going to get some sleep instead.
|
Damnit so sad that the stream won't work :c Really wanna see this, Destiny+CatZ best commentators EU.

stream suddenly down now as well?

I havent seen any ads from MLG in weeks, the stream is just dead.
ok back, but only 720 or higher.

Can you link the stream, all I can find is other games than Starcraft right now.

now their mics are muted.

So I click on the schedule on the TL sidebar and then the stream link but can't find it anywhere? is the stream not up?

You have to look through the non-featured streams to watch it through TL.

You must be new. Its Catz and Destiny, not regular casters, but players known for their streams and 'commentary'. They're characters of the sc2 scene But kinda polarising, you hate em or love em.

I'm familiar with them. They are not polarizing. I'm surprised they are still casting; there are much better people out there for the job, who would gain far more favour with viewers.
They also seem to have limited knowledge of any match not including Zerg - they should not be casting high level games.

Oh really? They're not polarizing? Your post bitching about them looked pretty polarizing. I dont know, maybe you bitch often and that wasn't really "polarizing in your book".

As loxely explained to you, they aren't traditional casters, and they shouldn't be held to that standard. If you've come for detailed analytical casting, this isn't the duo for you. It's fine to have an opinion on casters, but yours is in the minority in this case.
The fact is they have tons of fans, and are pretty huge viewership grabs.

A lot more than any caster not named ToD, Rotterdam, Grubby, Ret and a few other player-[sometimes]casters

if you really dislike our casting and someone else really likes it, we're polarizing! don't be silly to argue otherwise, it makes any point you raise past that lose validity! And yeah, any matchup that doesn't include zerg, I don't claim to be an expert in - but you're naive if you think casters, even your favorite ones have better knowledge than me on that regard. The fact that I don't make up shit and lie to you does not equate to me knowing less than your average caster. I'd just rather let the audience know that the information I give is based on speculation (altough its likely mostly accurate) than state facts that I am not sure about, like the average caster would. Again, if the caster isn't a pro- protoss or Terran player, with very VERY rare exceptions, they probably won't have better knowledge than me, regardless of the mu ~ zerg or not - and if it comes down to zerg, if the caster is casting in English, im pretty sure my knowledge is better.

You guys spoke about the term pop/soda and what regions call it for almost 8 minutes into a match today. And discuss many other inane topics regularly when action is going on during games. You would be fine generally, but sound flat almost all the time; consider adding inflection in your conversation... monotone commentating is not pleasant. If you put some enthusiasm into it perhaps I would change my opinion. Destiny, however, is just plain awkward. Until there are changes, your duo will continue to provide some of the most aggravating casting in the pro SC2 scene. It's unfortunate when good games are ruined by poor casting.
If you do this for a living, I would think you would want to improve upon your craft.

you just brought up completely different points than what I argued that being game knowledge and us being polarizing, I don't claim we're great casters, if you don't like our casting, that's perfectly fine there isn't one single thing that everyone likes, and ofc there's room for improvement as there is for anyone ever I never said otherwise. anyway to each their own, thanks for the 'feedback' and I don't do this for a living, your opinions are your opinions and that's cool, I care very little for them, especially cause of how you choose to present them.

& almost every casting duo talks about random things nearly every time they cast. Tasteless and Artosis do it while casting GSL.
and yelling? I never got annoyed by Destiny yelling. Wolf, Mr Bitter, or Frodan... now THERE'S yelling.

I'm surprised Polt still has to qualify for any tournament outside of Korea that has invitations.

specially when you are the defending champion.
but I'm pretty sure he would have been invited anyway.
