I watch all his dailies but I really don't know how good he is. 1) seems too close, Kiwikaki, QXC, Huk, Socke, drewbie are all really good and a bunch of others still have their chance against them 2) probably good enough to play, prob not good enough to win, either way he's an awesome caster so we'd much rather have him as a caster  | ||

It's really unreasonable for them to get a big enough space and enough computers and xbox's and monitors for every participant to be able to play at once. Having scheduled warm-up is the best solution I know. A professional doesn't need any more than that, anyway. | ||

It just means that you can't change your race based on what your opponent picks. It really doesn't come into play much because most people play only one race. So if you have any knowledge of your opponent, you are 99.99% certain of what your opponent will pick, but it doesn't matter since you aren't going to change based on his pick anyway. Changing race game to game is kinda weird but it happens. I know it used to happen in OSL (OSL is the most prestigious StarCraft: Brood War league) because Grrrr... did it in a finals. But this is so rare because most people play only one race. On August 15 2010 03:16 troynt wrote: In the game rules it states Why is that? I would assume the GFX cards could handle it. It would be odd if you are used to playing on ultra, then find out you can't. More stability on lower settings. Avoiding broken computers is one of the biggest necessities of a smooth event. I don't even know what the differences are between high and ultra. They aren't huge. But any serious player that plays on ultra could change to high and have plenty of time to get used to high. So if the MLG tech guys think their computers will be better off avoiding ultra, and if the refs think that this will have virtually no effect on the players, then it's a good rule. | ||

I've also been really impressed with the way that MLG has responded to community criticism, shaping Raleigh, and hopefully all of the MLG events in the future, into must-see events. The tournament roster for Raleigh is pretty sick, and while I don't have a huge preference as to who will win, I hope that either NonY (to keep the excitement going for TLAF-Liquid', of course) or one of the many strong Zerg players (Sheth, Slush, or Machine) will win. If that happened, maybe some of the "Terran is horribly imbalanced" threads will disappear, not that I necessarily disagree with them. Way to go MLG, and keep up the great work! | ||

Players may not change the in-game video settings to Ultra. This is due to a bug on Ultra setting where you are unable to sometimes see the red dot from a Nuke. | ||

With a 8 hours shift I just can't manage to follow either the HD version or the low quality streams so I was just wondering if there was a chance to actually see the casted games on demand, somethig like day9's bliptv account or hd/husky channels. Anyone got any information about that? | ||

Anyone got any information about that? http://www.mlgpro.com/content/link/307596/Columbus They only have WoW for their PC circuit rebroadcasts as of now, but once Raleigh starts, they should have the complete SC2 rebroadcast under the Raleigh tab. Pretty much any type of video-content you want of the event, they will provide...free. Unless you want to pay 10$ for a HD stream during the event, but the SD quality is free. | ||

But seriously the normal Halo stream can be watched fullscreen with good quality(Don't know if this applies to SC, WoW stream kinda sucked, tekken is just as good as halo tho). But just buy it to support MLG, i'm going to do as soon as I have my paypal account working. | ||
