Give em a break; they've been casting for 7 hours at this point. Gotta save something for Saturday and Sunday.

That's understandable and all but don't keep me waiting for a "state of the game" that's 15 minutes long and doesn't talk about the state of the game. It was a cool recap of the days games and all but it wasn't a SotG so they shouldn't call it one. At the very least they could have started 10 minutes earlier when they were all sitting on stage looking at day9's cell phone while terrible music played. Not blaming the "pillars" for this btw, just sayin it's lame that MLG would call that "state of the game"

It sounds like you had some unrealistic expectations and should be assessing that before you go on a rant about MLG.

What exactly would be some realistic expectations? When I hear that a SOTG is going on, I expect Starcraft nerds talking about Starcraft for a couple hours. That's what SOTG is and what it has been for as long as I've been watching it. What they just showed on the MLG stream was basically just a 30 minute recap of the day with SOTG hosts and an announcement by MLG staff.

realistic expectations would be exactly what happened.
those guys just played or casted for 7 hours, theyre tired and need to get up early for tomorrow so obviously it had to be short.
MLG had to make an announcement and used a show ran by one of their employees as a platform.
If MLG didnt have to make an announcement we wouldnt even have the 10-15 mins of predictions and discussion.

whatever, nobody's making you watch anyways.

I'm not asking the Casters/players slave for another hour or two for my enjoyment. I'm asking them not to say SOTG, when what is going to happen is a glorified recap.

Who cares what they call it? Seems like it's appropriate as anything to use the SotG name when you have most of the hosts there. It's really sickening to watch people on this site repeatedly work themselves into a frenzy over disappointment caused by no one other than themselves.

I'm not in a frenzy. I'm not calling JP or day9 or anyone names. I'm not saying MLG is horrible. I just expected a little more.

Yeah there's a difference in being in a raging frenzy and just stating the fact that what they called a "state of the game" show was not up to the standards of the show (ie: 1/12th of the usual time, didn't discuss the state of the game) and some of us are disappointed that MLG would bill this daily recap (which I liked btw and agree with the others saying they should do it every day) as a state of the game. Mild, but valid disappointment which should be voiced by the people who feel that way in an appropriate manner in order to improve the experience of MLG.

Last week's SOTG they stated the MLG special SOTG was going to be very short. Don't know why you would expect more.

WHAT? The SOTG live from MLG Raleigh only talked about the LAN that they are currently attending?

Scandalous.

Sorry for the lack of energy last night. With hurricane stress and on the heels of an 18 hour day, it is hard to be fresh.

Dont worry, it maybe was a little "dry" , but it was informative, short and sweet.

To be clear: the qualification process we spoke about was solely for pool play. The open bracket and giant events are not going anywhere. This systems just creates a direct, global, avenue into the top tiers of competition based on immediate performance results. More access, more global competitors, better competitions.

More details soon

Oh that makes it clear, sounds like a good system. Thanks!

No need to apologize man, you put on a sweet ass event in the face of a fucking natural disaster!

If there's hate in this thread, it's because there's hate in every thread here.

Don't stop until Bob Costas and Mike Tirico are casting.

Will the VoDs for this MLG SotG be released for free eventually or are they premium only MLG content?

True, but for some reason the sound (especially the warning) doesnt always go off.

Game 2 about 14:30 in, you hear part of it, but not the "Nuclear Launch Detected". I dont know if it is a bug or not, but it does happen.

It's not a bug. You don't hear the "nuclear launch detected" if you're observing a game or watching a replay. you only hear the sound effect of the nuke being launched. go try this yourself. play a game and launch a nuke, you'll hear the sound effect + notification. watch the replay after and you'll only hear the sound effect.

Going back to your video, if you listen carefully, you do hear the sound effect.

That wasn't sotg. That was the guys from sotg talking about the tournament they are all casting for a few minutes. No talk of patch notes? No talk of the state of the game at all? Just the caster's (and incontrol's) opinions on the days games. gg.

"I'm entitled to a full 2 hours of State of the Game, because that's what I expected. I don't care that they have been up for 7 hours and flew from all over the world to be here. I am a team liquid poster and want everything, now, for free."

Seriously, people need to just be happy they get their free entertainment and enjoy it.

Damn that was awesome. I swear they are like two brothers, separated at birth. Their back and forth is way to much fun and its great they take it with such good humor.
