But Somehow from his demeanour and disposition i could gather that he was exactly what i found out he was; a Con-Artist, a Thief, Liar, Deceiver and many many many Bad things i want to say but can't say on TL He realised he had to make an apology but didn't really own up to any of the Shit Storm that Happened behind the Scenes. I guess that would be kind-of inappropriate because of akwardness at a tournament setting though. I Honestly hope he never gets to run a Tournament again after seeing the Bull Shit he pulled and got away with. | ||

Also, what is the H2H event of? Ragnarok? Not to hate on Mineski; but the stream was really bad. The game audio was too loud overpowering the casters voice (they were also using old school mics instead of good quality headsets) and stream quality was below 480p. The live event went pretty well tho it seems. I think the local internet is good enough for a decent 720 stream. When people set them up at home or somewhere they are familiar with, but on venues (inside shopping malls) its tends to be a problem. | ||

The Phillipines isn't a bunch of huts on stilts. Yes, I think it is possible, but the problem is I think no one here is going to do it because of the overhead costs. It is still a business and it will hurt the bottom line immediately when they are not so sure that they can recoup it. I am also asking the quality of streamed events from the Philippines. If we expect the community to watch us, we should give them quality streams/videos that they can watch in their TVs, so the minimum requirements is around 720p for DVD quality streams or higher. But no one has given me an answer yet of this actually being done. This is an international tournament shown to an international community, not via cable TV but through the internet, do we have actual proof that we can stream 720p or higher in any event in the Philippines (as a live stream)? Also, once you have it within a mall, it's immediately known that you won't be running a dedicated cable to give you the allocated bandwidth you need, you'd just be tapping to the existing infrastructure of the building. If it were an events venue the SMX or WTC then that is an entirely different matter. Oh and events here would most likely opt for DSL lines and not cable internet eventhough cable should be better but more expensive. So that's my take on it. | ||

I think its not a problem when Your statement is the reality I was talking about/mentioning. Given the location of where Mineski held the event, I doubt it was a dedicated line. Perhaps they tapped into a spare phone line the mall had so it was a DSL connection and a business line. But the internet here really fluctuates. My peak speed is 1.5mbps here, but I drop as low as 0.3mbps and I deem that lucky, others drop down to zero. I know what I'm talking about here. Priority here is also download speed/bandwidth compared to upload. Like I mentioned in my previous post, my upload speed is only 200kbps-300kbps eventhough my total bandwidth is 1.5mbps as "advertised". The infrastructure can be placed to make HD/HQ streams viewable for the world, but quite frankly, local event organizers won't pony up that cost because there is no guarantee they can/will recoup it. And even if there is a chance to recoup it, as a business man, they may opt to simply go with a "regular" connection option to increase profitability. Sad but true, don't you agree? | ||

The difference is, the NASL was never actually -- y'know -- corrupt. They ran a fair tournament with consistent rules and paid out a shit-ton of money. | ||

Also to add the Prize Pool isn't even known alot of different numbers were suggested implying that money may have been pilfered by Gus too? "I don't think anyone actually knows what the prize money is. Some AZK guys were arguing with me yesterday in SC2SEA chat, saying that the prize money is $7,000-$9,000 USD. But at that very same moment, Allyn was quizzing the crowd live on stream, announcing that the prize is $2,000 USD. So I dunno." | ||

They were streaming SC2 games just fine. It wasn't high quality, but it's certainly better than this. I agree that we have crap net though simply because we have crap net. | ||

I feel bad for anyone involved with the Tournament right now; because they are obliged to continue with the Tournament.(Organizers/Casters/Etc) While at the same time; It's Disgusting that they have to be involved/associated with such a Fiasco. This kind-of thing should never happen; Such an embarrassment and awkward for all people involved. | ||
