lol, there go the streams again...gotta wonder when convention centers will start providing proper internet connections so that organizers like MLG don't have to settle for hacks like satellite connections.

Yeah no, you're not getting away with that misleading title. "Storm zergs Raleigh" no no no.

XD

On topic, those satellite trucks are going to have a hard time streaming data. I hope I get to see the tournament... :\

According to http://forums.majorleaguegaming.com/topic/243287-mlg-raleigh-weather/ Cat 2 Hurricane Irene may arrive at Carolina over the weekend.

While MLG is held mostly indoor (I hope), those who are planning to travel to Raleigh may want to make contingency travel plans as well as prepare themselves for possible heavy rainfall.

I pray for the stability of the MLG streams for home-viewers and barcraft participants!

A related question: a friend of mine is planning to attend the live event for the first time. Any MLG veterans have tips as to what he should bring along? (ie snacks/drinks/folding chair/spare socks)

(sorry for misleading title :p)

Could you change the title? I was really hoping to read about what people had to say regarding the safety of being out there amidst the hurricane but all I'm reading are these stupid posts about the title.

Truly someone has laid a terrible curse upon MLG, I wonder if it's the same wizard who cursed GSL's finals.

Lol the only reason i knew that the OP was talking about a hurricane was because I live in florida and know about the hurricane that is coming because it is going to hit Florida before it hits North Carolina.

But thumbs up for the sc nerds!

storm zergs raleigh or something to that effect.

I too pray that god protects the good non-devil-worshiping citizens of ESPORTS and delivers them from the hurricane's wrath.

I know this thread has had a lot of jokes about Yellow and stuff, but as someone who's been following hurricanes for a while(I live in S. FL) I just want to say that you need to take this very seriously. This storm is blowing up like I haven't seen in a while, and it is going to very strong in the next 24 hours. If you're going to be in the SE USA you need to pay very close attention to this.

This is the problem with thread OPs trying to be clever. 4 pages of 'OMG MISLEADING TITLE!' instead of discussion on what it actually is. Take care next time.

As for the forecast, I hope it doesn't affect the event too much. MLG is still using those satellite trucks right? They're bound to be in the firing line if the storm hits the city.

So some friends and I were going to travel to MLG raleigh this weekend. Should we still go?
Under what conditions would it be ok to still go to South Carolina on the 26th-28th?

Yeah I'm actually pretty mad about this being someone who is planning on travelling to Raleigh and is concerned about the storm.
