Why have they removed the Blizzcon vods from their twitch channels? It's a really shitty move by Blizzard... not everyone can be up and watch it live.

I wanted to watch some SC2 and Heroes of the Storm that I missed yesterday but all the vods for all games are gone.

Because yesterday was an embarassment for Blizzard. Now they are doing some damage control.

Why was it an embarassment? If it was the quality of the games please don't say cos I still haven't seen them yet.

I've been trying for hours and it has been HORRIBLY frustrating. Unbelievably so.

I know people bitch about the feed for Twitch but this is way worse. I couldn't see any games. Twitch wcs channel does NOT have the games (but does show 2 promo videos!!). Went to Youtube WCS channel which was worse because the games are split up and major spoilers (at least with Twitch it was one big video stream so you didn't know, like last week, there was a 14hr stream, I can live with that cos I can fast forward through bits). And still only a select few games were available.

Then I got some luck with the Blizzcon stream feed a few hours ago. Was able to watch for a couple of hours but it cut out and said 'Content unavailable' something about bitrate not available currently or some nonsense. Then eventually I got a feed... and it is today's feed, I still haven't seen the Quarterfinal games.... seriously... wtf??

EDIT: I can't even go into Day 3 thread cos I'm afraid of spoilers. Otherwise I would have posted this there where someone might actually read it.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD AND THE SANCTITY OF AUIR CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHERE TO WATCH THE FULL VOD BROADCAST, AND NOT JUST SNIPPETS HERE AND THERE???

Liked the stage though. That was cool. But the technical broadcasting is totally screwed. I have no idea how others have managed to watch this (unless it is live...and some of us can't watch it live due to timezones and/or wish to watch the vods). Beyond frustrated.

That is precisely why it's an embarrassment. Technical problems, stream crashes, game crashes, pauses and delays on top of delays. Blizzard presumably removed the twitch vods since they are a record of how awful it was.

You think they'll edit the vods to skip the downtime and then release them?

Yeah i even asked Blizzard to refund my virtual ticket because the vods aren't there and they closed my request without even telling me. I reopened it but if they close it again, I will never buy a blizzard game again (torrent ftw) and cancel my WoW subscription. I should have wait to buy WoD...
