Yeah this is pretty bad when MLG tells people to tune in and watch then we can't even do that. I am afraid to spend the 10 bucks because I may not even get to see anything.

This is exactly why I'll NEVER pay for HQ stream from MLG. Thank god GSL has their act together and NASL is partnered with Justin.tv. Guess it's just more of the same from MLG, under prepared and still underestimating SC2 community.

Might as well go play ladder instead of wasting your time waiting for these guys.... MLG is just a traveling clown show it seems.

TSL had over 50k viewers tuned in live and didnt have any problem... I highly doubt there's as many people atm.

why are they so stupid???? seriously it's their frickin JOB to realize that they should use a proper streaming service such as justintv or ustream! are they retarded or what? way to not make us want to buy their shit.

They need serious TV-pro's. If this is about overload, they should all be fired.

At the rate they're going they better make the HD stream and VODs free, cuz this is pretty awful.
Pay for a service to see the stuff i want and i can't even watch them at all..

I wouldn't count on it. MLG's streams have always been ass. But this is why I've never given them money, and I feel for you if you paid.

Still just a black screen for me. Adblock off and now it's just black without the infinity symbol. Yay MLG. Sorry for you guys who paid ten bucks for the same black screen I get to see for free.

I feel sorry for guys like DjWheat and Day9 who invest so much time and effort into growing the SC2 community and then stuff like this just destroys all the hard work that has gone into building up this event.

Really sad...

I don't think MLG and 'schedule' should be used together

I just realized. I was lagged out of the entire first event, came back during the announcements and at the end of idrA's interview, but then right when the next match was about to start, lagged out again.

MLG = april fools joke?

Go to MLG's customer support page and submit a ticket to the MLG Live stream part. I ripped into them and all of you should too.

Congrats MLG for stealing money. Make ur standard stream pretty unwatchable so ppl have buy the HQ version, then have the shitiest web servers around. G frigin G!!

I was thinking that as well. It's really, really black. Proper 0x000000 stuff. I've been trying to liven it up by drinking wine and assuming said blackness is, in fact, laden with ninjas, but it just isn't working.

I can only image how all the young Halo fans are reacting to this...

Seriously though they should just get together with Justin.tv and stream through them, it'd be an awesome partnership.

This is what we get for rolling with people who host Halo tournaments.

What is even happening I just get ads that play over and over than the screen goes black until i'm assuming it refreshes in which more ads play until it goes black again. grr.
