6 words for the casters:

STOP ZOOMING IN FOR NO REASON......

It's so pointless, why watch 3 units when you can see the big picture..of how player A is resupplying or how player B is planning a surround....

oh wait, that makes too much sense, right?

i thought some of the zoom ins were cool :D but not a single rotation so far has been to actually reveal a new angle (no pun intended) to the fight, just to be a bit of a tit with the camera.

Only thing I have to say is that the Broadcast is at a very awkward time for the EU, weekend or not.

Some of the zooms have been during small battles, so you're literally missing what's going on in half of the fight.

My experience with the streams so far have been quite good, 1080/360x3 using the quad layout without any hiccups at all. Something I feel like is missing is the ability to hide all of the UI elements without making a specific stream go full screen - I'm using Chrome's full screen mode (F11) and it looks great except for the presence of the MLG header and footer.

I've solved this for myself by making a (toggle-able) bookmarklet:
javascript: (function() { window.oldMLGResize = typeof(window.oldMLGResize) == 'undefined' ? $(window).data('events').resize[0].handler : window.oldMLGResize; window.isFullscreenToggledOn = typeof(window.isFullscreenToggledOn) == 'undefined' ? true : !window.isFullscreenToggledOn; var w = $(window); if(window.isFullscreenToggledOn) { w.unbind('resize').resize(function() { $('header').hide(); $('footer').hide(); $('#stage').height(w.height()).width(w.width()).css('margin-left','0px').css('margin-right', '0px'); }); } else { w.unbind('resize').resize(window.oldMLGResize); $('header').show(); $('footer').show(); } w.resize() })();


If you aren't familiar with bookmarklets, just copy-paste the code above into the URL field for a new bookmark. Works great for chrome, a little too lazy to test for other browsers.

but presumably very convenient for New York City. You know, where it's being held?

edit: my feedback. i think the event has been run very well. it has been non-stop games all day, both days so far. I've had periods of time where the strem lags pretty hard, but that isn't specific to this tournament in my experience; i often have intermittent probs with twitch streams. keep it up! great games so far.

I would like to see better casters next time around. Having 4 b-team casters is unacceptable for $20. Rob Simpson, Robin, Tumba, and the dude casting with Tumba are hard to watch. Lots of "Uh's" and not a lot of insight. I would seriously rather watch eliminated players cast than those guys.

edit: Wrong predictions every 10 seconds in the early game on the Tumba steam. Just lame, on the whole.

I think Tasteless got super excited about zooming in after it was so cool when it was a single zealot/stalker vs. a bunch of lings, and then just overdid it after that.

I got really pissed when he was zooming in on a fight during one of the Naniwa/Nestea games and I couldn't see the health of the 3rd which I knew zealots were attacking, it's not like it ruined the game but it was unnecessary and annoying.

I think that's because they're done.

I also have to kind of agree with this, besides that I actually like Rob Simpson.

They're back up (for now). Now I can watch the games in 240p with massive lag.

The production looked great. Until I was reminded I needed 20 bucks for the stream. Doesn't really matter how pretty the guy trying to rob me is. Off to watch streams not hampered by such blatant Smaug-ery.
Now witness their attempts to fly from tree to tree. Notice they do not so much fly as plummet.

I want all MLG events to be like this from now on. Live crowds are overrated. Production and casting of this events are great. Non-stop awesome games with some interviews for $20?---yes please, KEEP DOING WHAT UR DOING

This has by far been the best PPV I have ever bought. WWE/F UFC included. I have been invested in nearly all the games! and I really like that there is some cheese mixed it even when it turns into macro games afterwards. Really great all around. The casting has been solid and hilarious and I am hoping tomorrow we are going to see more hatcheries.

IMO, Blizzard Cup was still the best, no contest.

For MLG Winter Arena, Robin's constant camera rotations are really annoying. It's so odd to see the perspective different. It makes it very distracting to try and reorient what is going on in a battle.

Also for the quad view or any other multi view like trio, it would be nice if there was a tab that let you know what players are playing on which streams. When I'm running the quad view with 4 games playing, its hard to keep track of whats going on and who's playing which match.

On the plus side, I really love the constant changing of casters between streams and even the guest casters like Grubby, Catz, and Drewbie. It keeps the casters rested and relaxed which seems to result in constant fresh and fun casting.
I'll keep on struggling, 'cause that's the measure of a man | "That was the plan: To give him some hope, and then crush him" -Stephano

The sad thing with these sort of threads is the haters come out in force and the people who were happy don't say much.

I have really enjoyed all the coverage even being from the UK. 1080p Stream and multi stream access has been great, all the casters seemed ok. I didn't enjoy Sjow and Drewbies cast of MvP vs Ganzi but they were new to it all so I can forgive that.

If I was to give any ideas for future events;

- subscriber chat from the get go and moderators in abudance.
- maybe a dedicated venue and small "intimate" crowd
- slightly lower cost for overall tournament (though I don't feel like my 20$ was wasted on this event).
- super fast vod uploads for the fact no event can cater for all timezones.
- expert panel with players and other play by play casters (like with catz in this event)
- a support section that does not lead to a deadlink, maybe a ticket system set-up with twitch tv
- some community/mlg observer staff for games.

Thats it really, from what I saw 99% of the audience have enjoyed this event and problems were at a minimum and were fixed quickly.

Big thumbs up and hope for more in the future.

The obsing needs quite a bit of work.

On a side note, I don`t think I will pay for this again because I already know my friends and some people on the forums being able to bypass and be able to watch for free.
