Hey guys,

Just wanted to comment real quick on the login issues some people saw today. We think it's fixed. You should be able to login to each stream once now and it will remain logged in. Also, Gameplay 1 will no longer crash.

I would love to see if it's working for everyone else before we get going tomorrow, so feel free to hop on and confirm.

Thanks!

I thought there would be one stream in say low quality i could watch some of the games.. I am sadly mistaken.. sad alone and tired from long day, i think MLG lost 60-80% of viewers

This has been such an amazing tournament, well casted and good quality, but could you please just enable a cookie or something so we don't have to log in to each individual stream? I logged in probably 30 times today to keep watching. :/

Edit: and I think the quality of this tournament has totally warranted the price. I will not only get my money worth but I'll support the growth of esports! "You're doing a great job. just fix the log in issue

Just wanted to say that Picture-in-Picture is absolutely amazing. Plus keeping an eye on the smaller stream to catch big fights is just like training yourself to watch the minimap!

I just wish the stream wasn't so bandwidth hungry. It does look amazing, though.

My experience is a great first day. I had no issues after logging in once on each stream (Firefox 10.0.2), watched entire thing with no interuption while switching streams. Production value is high, even if small improvements could be made here and there, as others have mentioned.

I guess the only thing I feel could use a quick improvement for day 2 is to fix the brightness or whatever on the player cams. Especially the blue one is just so dark you cant see anything worthwhile. However only fix this if it doesn't bother the players (like if you have to put more lights up in their faces, its not worth it).

Hopefully some of the people involved gets some sleep to reduce jetlag for tomorrow. Tasteless was so delirious in the end he didnt make any sense, despite creating some hillarious situations with his rambling.

Cant wait to see the rest of this event unfold.

Its a slight confusing with the VODS that there is no passthrough, so you have to log in everytime.

Its a real bugger that there is no option to change resolution. I'd like to watch 720, as 1080 tends to lag for me.

otherwise what i saw live yesterday was really great, MLG is deffiently the best production out there.

My main complaint is that since I'm watching the streams on 3 computers (just makes it easier for me) the players prompted me to login probably a total of 10 times yesterday which was really annoying, especially when it happened during heated moments... oh well.

My issue is with the VODs. While It's good that you get them so quick. Lower resolution VODs are not available. Also, I would like it if it would Autoplay the next game in the set, which is probably not possible in the Twitch.tv system

edit: you guys really should rebroadcast similar to how it's done for the pro circuit events. So that people who miss watching it live can experience it in a similar fashion.

For those that have the PPV, mind if I ask this question?

Poll: After Day 1 - How do you feel about the PPV?

Entertaining, but probably won't buy again unless cheaper (34)

38%

Feel like it wasn't worth it, won't buy again (29)

33%

Definitely worth it, would buy again (26)

29%

Your vote: After Day 1 - How do you feel about the PPV?

(Vote): Definitely worth it, would buy again
(Vote): Entertaining, but probably won't buy again unless cheaper
(Vote): Feel like it wasn't worth it, won't buy again

P.s. please only answer if you have the PPV, it may be tempting to try and trash MLG and their PPV decision by voting not worth it, but I think we can all be interested in hearing feedback from those actually watching.

the vod system is a total shit and is loading painfully slow. of the little i saw last night the stream was pretty laggy aswell, which is absurd since hardly anyone is watching. perhaps just a european problem?

the video quality however is good and so are the games and the casting. GL on day 2!

i had some problems last night with the 1080p stream, the picture would freeze but the audio would carry on. i know my connection is fine and my pc can handle it so it was frustrating having those freezes ;/ is there anything i can do to be able to watch 1080p without getting annoyed?

You guys might want to fix it so people can't access your stream for free by just blocking certain things in ad-block, I won't go into more detail than that. Loved the event and production yesterday and hate to see you suffer for some incompetence on the technical end.

Thats weird that you couldn't change the res o.o i was watching at 360(cause my internet sucks).

But i thought day 1 was awesome!! the quality of the stream was amazing and the production value was off the chain!

I personally had some issues with the actual player, but all in all it was really cool. Not sure if I'd be willing to spend that much again, especially if there are more than 1 or 2 per season. I think that I'd be able to justify 10 in the future personally. But that being said, I love all the content. The sheer quality of the matches that this format brings is awesome. Didn't have much time to check out the Dr. Pepper stream because of how many matches I wanted to watch lol. The only two things I saw was Ret talking to who I would assume is his girlfriend, and Shibby trolling the ladder with HotBid's help lol. I now know how to successfully cannon rush my way to masters lol.

On an unrelated note, I had some troubles actually buying the pass lol. The page wouldn't load after I clicked pay now and so I (rather stupidly) clicked 2 more times instead of waiting like I should have. Needless to say, I paid 60 dollars for something that should have cost me 15 lol.

They will now know the pain of being an American starcraft fan!

As it's been said infinite times already, having to constantly log in to watch the streams is annoying, but not the end of the world. Good product overall, I'm glad my impulse buy has been worth it!
