Nice to see an apology, but I can't help but think about SOTG26....

Well, i forgive him. :p

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

This might turn into a damn fine silver lining if we end up getting replays (and hopefully VODs) of all the non-broadcasted games. Or do the replays always get uploaded?

I wonder how much of the unexpected traffic was because of SC2. Really wish we could get some actual numbers somehow, I'm really interested to see exactly what kind of interest SC2 gets at a mainstream U.S. event like MLG.

I think that they do it every time anyway.

Shit-canning the technical team behind this I am sure isn't the best of ideas. Now you will enter Columbus with a new tech team, experts in their own right with regards to networking and technology I am sure - and 0 experience in streaming to 130 countries on the format/platform that you do.

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.
:P

This right here is what everyone needs to take away from that speech. Sundance is essentially going all in with the success of the stream in Columbus. If it fails here too it will look terrible.

I ask that everyone give MLG this chance to redeem itself. 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.

There were 130k people watching the eagle stream... So I guess there were about 130k people for SC2 alone.

And there were a lot more games being broadcasted


I really feel like they're trying their best, I mean, who wouldn't? 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 :}

Great to see the people on the top explains what happens. This is how people get respect!!

Even though it sucked the stream was down.. When it was up, it was amazing! I hope next time they prepare more like he said himself!

Maybe i should submit my resume, i mean i know how to install windows 7 and configure my WRTG router. That should be good enough.

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

Don't assume the eagle stream was all MLG people, right now that stream has 141k viewers.

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

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.

This apology seems vaguely familiar...

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.

I hope Sundance reads this thread because as I've stressed all weekend, only two of the problems were related to Battle.net and MLG's onsite connection. There were numerous other problems that I hope they can fix.
