Technical problems will occur, and it definetely sucks but something tells me that the rest of the MLGs will be absolutely flawless. (hopefully) | ||

I applaud the efforts given by MLG as a whole with regards to this, staying all night to fix things etc, but lets face it, if you come into Columbus just as ill-prepared as with Dallas, you will run into the same exact problems. Do yourself a favor Sundance and set up a show match, using the same platform and technology, and get as many hiccups out of the way as possible. Octoshape, SQ, HQ I don't care, run a live open test, pack it as tight as you can... Or not and I'm a technical noob that never soaks/stress tests my products. Will it solve every problem? No, but you will find out ahead of time what needs to be fixed and have ample time to resolve it. | ||

I believe Sundance truly wants to make this event awesome and as a community we should support it. This is probably the best thing that could happen. MLG, you're on probation imo. You've got one more shot, but after that its going to take a lot of community service for us to forgive you. | ||

It's what they do, there's no reason to be bad at something you do, and losing money. I hope that in the next event they will be clutch :} //tx | ||

But its better than nothing I suppose. Seeing as they are bringing in a new team, makes me think it wasn't a primary routing issue TO the event. But the events internal crap was all kinds of wrong. I mean Dallas doesn't house some of the major ISPs their lines routing centers and data centers for nothing  | ||

I believe Sundance truly wants to make this event awesome and as a community we should support it. I'll definitely tune in for next event but will hold off paying for the HQ stream. Hope they realize that it wasn't just the technical issues or technical team that were doing a bad job (giving a playable stream) but also the production team. Even when the stream did work, it was very lack luster. Why would anyone want to pay for a higher quality stream of what was shown this weekend, or rather the final day. The award ceremony pretty much summarized the effort MLG put into the SC2 event; after watching that, do they really want to make it great? But with that said, I'm really looking forward to the National Championship and how they will improve  | ||

QFT I'll def watch their next SC2 even stream and see if they indeed fixed all their problems. If not I won't be watching MLG again. | ||

But with that said, I'm really looking forward to the National Championship and how they will improve Exactly. Even when the stream was online. 50% of the time viewers were actually just staring at the MLG logo or shots of the crowd. It was annoying to see them come back from a 45minute break and casually announce that TLO had beaten idra or that Tyler had narrowly edged out vibe. I'm looking forward to ICCUP MLG monday that is for sure. | ||
