This will be the first MLG I've been able to catch.
Con: It can be a real pain to get it running your PC at home (might have even more problems on MACs, dunno), some people can't get it running at all.
Pro: Some MLG official (can't remember wether it was Lee or Sundance) said that it is the easiest thing to use on their end when hosting live tournaments and providing several streams at the same time and stuff... Not a pro at stuff like that, but that's how I remember it.

"Low Quality version will NOT be using Octoshape but the high-quality"
Was planning on getting the HQ but I've never been able to get Octoshape to work before. Oh well at least I'll have the LQ option instead of being forced to search for restreams.
Just to let you know the Octoshape they were using last year hasn't been updated for 2 years.
The new version should be better.

Another "Pro" is that it generates a kinda p2p connection for people watching, making the quality of the stream skyrocket.

Go Grubby! I hope he can do well! :D

Another pro, It doesn't buffer like other streams and the quality of the stream adapts depending on your connection.

Because MLG doesn't think they're notable.
Or it could be that 3 of the 4 were already listed above in the groups comprising the top 16, with Haypro rounding things out in the "notable players" list (which you'll note doesn't include anyone from the top 16).

Will the updated octoshape still lag my computer and make multitasking impossible? Anyone seen it used yet?

SLoG is FXOSLoG
I don't believe thats a slight on him or FXO, but just the name he registered under
Same reason Grubby is under "FollowGrubby" instead of "EG.Grubby"

Fantastic list. So pumped. How am I supposed to get shit done on the weekends when there is always an awesome tournament going on?
|
Are the numbers seeds? They seem off to me.
|
Anyone know of any other streams using this "new octoshape" I would like to test it out before getting the HQ stream due to issues from previous use of octoshape

You can find the full list of the SC2 competitors for this major LAN tournament in the spoiler tag below (Geoff likes horses). The top 16 players are also included in this list but can be found below by their groups and also a list of notable players.
LMAO I feel like I'm the only one that is seeing this!
