Can someone confirm that the MLG HD stream is available outside of the US?

Also, is there any way that there can be an alternate HD stream implementation other than through Octoshape? It's a common curse around here with Roadrunner internet that we get decent (>10mbps) download but shitty upload, so using Octoshape renders the internet nearly useless for all my roommates due to its p2p nature (google pings start averaging ~1000ms). It would be nice if there were some livestream-like HD source >_>
But then again, I suppose it won't affect me in particular too much, since I plan to attend in person!

Wow this looks awesome! I hope I watch the stream, I may be off to Iraq very soon, but it may not be until the end of August.
Amazing fun!

Yes, but im not 100% sure, but i guess JP and other MLG people know this for sure. Somehow i have the picture that Euro's can purchase HD stream aswell.

HD Feeds are available anywhere, so yes, outside of the US, you can get the HD feed. I was watching it on an iPhone during some testing once. As someone else mentioned, we use Octoshape to deliver our streams.
There's also a 1hr rewind function, which is always on. So if you tune in at 10pm, you can rewind an hour and watch the 9pm matches, even if you weren't tuned in at 9pm. Octoshape handles that end for us.
Also, player list fixed here on TL. Should be fixed on MLGpro.com shortly.

Oh, didn't know Octoshape provides that nifty rewind functionality. That's pretty awesome.

I use it for instant replay all the time, but you can rewind for up to an hour to watch an entire match.

By the way... @TL Community. Thanks for all the feedback and for keeping it constructive. It's been very useful in our deliberations. MLG knows how to run tournaments. It's probably one of the most successful organizer in the world. But each game has its nuances, and we're very aware of that.
We'll be revisiting rules after Raleigh, but these rules are now locked in.

Ah, random thought. If I recall correctly, you guys use a special interface / server for WoW arena? Do you know if the "Blizzard professional-only LAN-thing" that was mentioned in Q&A before with Blizzard making its first appearance anytime soon? I'd imagine it'd be at an MLG event if such a thing actually existed.

Good list. Go ROOT gaming!
|
Lee, what's the story on VOD's? Will player-view VOD's *and* live stream VOD's be made available after the tournament? Or just the stream? Will all of what was streamed be available post-tournament? Seems to vary by game, so I'm curious how you guys are approaching SC2 in this regard.
Thanks! Sooo looking forward to this.

Also it conflicts with an IEM event that has a much bigger prize pool lol Too bad MLG weekend is bigger than IEM and it would kinda not make sense to change it just for SC2. IEM has a prizepool nearly twice as big for NA than MLG's.
MLG has more than SC2, the SC2 portion of course it is bigger for IEM, but the overall picture MLG is a bigger weekend. If i was able to travel to one of these and compete I would pick MLG since they have been doing this circuit for years without a lot of hiccups.
Thank you JP, MLG staff for keeping us updated on these forums. I tuned into the MLG weekends for the wow event before the SC2 beta and will look forward to tuning into SC2!

No PS2 kind of bugs me. I like n-key rollover :\
Oh well. I'm not playing so it doesn't really matter.

I've purchased the HD pass for the last 2 events and its definitely worth it.

In the past for their other games they have posted rebroadcast and POV games after the event.
