I'm assuming we'll be able to access VODs of the community casters after the fact? Or is this not a good assumption? (As I mentioned in previous post, I do have a gold membership).

Really cool stuff.

I really hope that the casters don't end up killing their voices tho. Day[9] really gets into the matches and already is hoarse by the end, so I am just hoping that more games don't totally kill his voice.

I propose that the 2 new streams be named silver and gold.

Less downtime is amazing; but as you have said you cannot avoid downtime, is it possible to get some indication of when something will be starting rather than random shots of the crowd or "coming soon"?

Also the 2 new streams is an awesome initiative - the community casters and grabbing games as they are happening, as long as they don't get tired :p

Some really great ideas! Looking forward to this MLG!

I met Lee at MLG D.C. 2010, and while it's probably hyperbole to say that 'there are few people with more passion for SC2 competitions than him', well... I believe it anyway

I love how overwhelming SC2's presence became in MLG's 2010 Pro Circuit; I love that the community did that. I love that MLG responded favorably and has embraced the game. We all know about technical difficulties, growing pains, etc. that have happened, but MLG has been trying, and doing a far cry better than many could manage, certainly. And here now we have more evidence that they're continuing to improve (yay!).

MLG has a membership sale from me, that's for sure. It was awesome to watch SeleCT from just a few feet away (right outside the crowd-control barrier) while the bench crowd chanted "Show the game!" and prompted HuK's mothership play, but traveling to every Pro Circuit stop would get prohibitively expensive for me

More streams and match coverage is going to be awesome!

Match start times have been staggered based on the Station at which they’re going to take place

Does that mean red and blue won't have pauses at the same time and start matches at the same time? This is at least a couple of events too late. MLG is very slow, but at least it's steady improvement. Nicely done.

The SC2 Red/Blue schedule is always published. So unless there's an issue with a player not showing up for their match or a technical problem, matches always start as scheduled.
