EPTSTOP 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?

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

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. | ||

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. | ||

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

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 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. All the streams, except for number 2, are blacked out... I think that's because they're done. 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. I also have to kind of agree with this, besides that I actually like Rob Simpson. | ||

"I think that's because they're done." They're back up (for now). Now I can watch the games in 240p with massive lag. | ||

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. | ||

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 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. | ||

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. | ||
