Specific feedback about what you don't like about the MLG player would be better than just saying that it sucks. | ||

As far as I know blip also pays for views because of the ads and that could just go to MLG then. Or does MLG really think that a lot of people will start visiting other parts of the MLG site as well if the SOTG vods are on there or something? I don't really think so and otherwise I don't see how it should benefit MLG so much if the vods are on their site. | ||

Yep, true that. Most of the shows are extremely difficult to catch if you are European and work/have school. | ||

Anyway, personally I don't find any noticeable difference with SotG after MLG sponsored them, maybe I'm not being overly nit-picky though TT;; I guess there's more ads and maybe they don't criticize MLG as freely anymore but essentially it's the same as far as I can hear; progamers and community members giving their blunt and honest opinions on events and happenings within the SC2 community and discussing it. They don't seem any more drawn back or reserved about expressing their opinions, I guess maybe if I listen closely and use an older episode for reference, i'd get it? Also, whining and criticizing is not the same. Whining signifies criticism that is not constructive, does not help and does not contribute or provide a solid form of feedback. Criticism is the opposite. edit: Oh yeah, the video player for MLG, I haven't had much experience with it but what experience I have had... well, the episode wouldn't play at all. And when I checked the comments it was just a bunch of complaints about the video player so... I just make a general search like "SotG archive" and find it on blip :O I thought they were dropping Bliptv support? Either way | ||

The only issue that I noticed was that I could not see how much of the video was loaded. Specific feedback about what you don't like about the MLG player would be better than just saying that it sucks. It loaded in "medium" quality for me (aka like less than 240p, it was appalling), and every time it went to a new game it went back to medium. Kind of annoying since it also canceled full screen whenever I switched the quality. There were also a lot of clicks to get the videos playing, the site wasn't very intuitive. (And any "refresh" on the page sent me back to the starting page of the invitational.) Definitely room for improvement. The game itself was smooth though. I've never liked blip.tv anyway. | ||

I think that's mostly Tyler. >_< No offense, I like him as a person, and I want him to do well. I'm just not as entertained by him as I am by everyone else on SotG (and ItG). Artosis, Incontrol, and Day9 are all very enthusiastic and have a lot of funny things to say. Tyler is much more reserved and a little more bland. I know he's been around for the entire run of the show, but it would be really nice if we could get someone who doesn't play Protoss instead every once in a while. Hell I'll even take a Terran.

Though I'm not opposed to a little "fluff," I just don't know if I want to hear about non-SC2 action for 20 minutes. 5-10 minutes sure. The fluff that I want to hear is more directly game-related, like ESPN possibly picking up Starcraft 2. | ||

MLGs site is like the last remnant of the MLG Dallas (or whichever event it was that had all the issues before MLG improved drastically) days and remains shit while everything else about MLG has improved a ton. At least work on your issues if you don't want JP posting to other sites now after hes been doing it for 50 episodes. | ||

That setup is a joke. They boasted about 100 million gross last year (i think) probably paying their web designer a dollar a day though  | ||
