MLG has had lag issues before. Everyone still goes to those. Every tournament has had troubles of some sort and people still go to GSL and Dreamhack. Perhaps you should chill. this isnt the first time with IEM? its always liek this always like this. other places Fix it, but odds are well have the same problems tommorrow... I snapped because ur brushing lag of as not a problem and the players should just deal withit and HuK isnt goign to go simply ebcause this isnt the first time. Plus it will be offputting for players and put players off if all their events the is awlays problems. | ||

Won't give NightEnD his 2nd place spot though. That's what bothers me tbh, that someone ended up suffering for it. | ||

So to me it feels like the PC's are the main problem. The ESL has computer problems for over 10 years now. so it seems like intel cannot otherwise they already wouldve done it. | ||

I didn't comment on whether I think it is a big deal. However, sometimes situations aren't ideal, and if they are the same for everyone than sometimes you just have to play through it. | ||

Two other games were going on simultaneously without issues, and the venue was clearly way above requirements. Only explanation is another battle.net issue. EDIT: Talking about blizzard in post 666? What a glorious coincidence! | ||

Nightend must feel a bit bitter after that game, he may of had delay trying to deal with then muta too we dont and probably wont know.,.. | ||

Apparently I'll just go "shutup" because a pissy fan is angry at the unfairness of the world. Either way, they have to deal with it. It sucks. But its happened and there obviously wasn't much that they could have done to fix it. Meh I'm out. GL carmac | ||

I just have one request: Please give NightenD a regame. He lost because of this issue therefore losing the series and the 2nd spot of the group and dropped out of the tournament. For every other game this would probably have been not that important but this game was the most important for him and in the entire group. It's very likely he would've won this game. Please give him a regame. | ||

Such things CAN happen as faulty electronics are the vehicle of esports, but what I think made the situation unbearable for viewers is the fact that you did not communicate in a professional manner what exactly seems to be the problem and what are the appropriate steps to take thereafter. Maybe via the casters or on one definitely legit official IEM twitter account.I for example was outraged when I heard nani forfeited because I thought he was right not to play but overreacted in simply dropping out, so one bad thing led to another - after that it was thankfully clarified but so much drama and a massive community shitstorm was already on the way and this could hurt IEM as it die MLG for example at Dallas(They thankfully learned their lesson and are doing fine now). You and IEM staff are generally doing a good job in providing entertaining content, but as I said, better PR work in such critical situations could do wonders | ||

That's why I decided for an opening day not to say anything even though what we witnessed was... "ugly" is a fitting word, I guess. If there are such issues again tomorrow... I'll bring not only a sharpened pitchfork, but a torch too. | ||

still, that doesn't excuse the lag, but I feel for IEM, there's only so much you can do. Blizzard is the biggest culprit, I don't know and still don't know why they refuse LAN support. | ||

Blizzard is the biggest culprit, I don't know and still don't know why they refuse LAN support. Yea but if he won the battle, on best case scenario he could have killed 1 zerg base while securing his 3rd and to some extent 4th base until zerg gets fully reloaded and willing to engage in a new fight. | ||
