No lag issues here.
The one thing that I would like is a countdown timer, a lot of the time the schedule wasn't up to date (as well as timezone differences). Just a simple "xx minutes until broadcast".
Also every time I come back to the page the volume goes back down to 20%, may be cache related similar to the login issue.

It's higher than gsl's high quality, so I can't really complain about that. If you are having trouble watching 480p then your internet is probably not sufficiently fast to view it smoothly, or the routing to your part of the world may be bad. As far as 720p and higher, I'm not really sure if its laggy because of the MLG's upload rate or if it's on my own end. Either way, it doesn't matter because 480p is very nice.
So to state my point clearly, if you are having trouble with lag, turn your quality down to 480p and enjoy. 360p doesn't look too bad either. It is NOT MLG's fault if you are lagging on 480p or lower.
You seem to be easily pleased. 720p or 1080p are *much* nicer than 480p (even though it beats out GSL, but GSL has crap quality anyway).
It's just that TwitchTV has crappy routing in Europe, which causes lag at anything higher than 480p. And while this is not directly MLGs fault, they did choose to use TwitchTV as their streaming partner, so they're not completely free of blame either. Whatever MLG used last year worked much better.

I'm watching a restream for the finals (was pretty disappointed with the ppv system and so these are the only games that remotely interest me, not to mention timezone complications), so I will not comment on the stream quality. The last few MLGs I watched in HQ and the picture and audio quality was ok, I assume this is the case now too. What I notice from the few games I have seen so far however is that I realy realy miss the crowd reactions. This feels like some random online cup. So for the next events: - maybe lower the price and/or offer a LQ single freestream. - bring audience back - if you stick to ppv only offer a cheaper ticket that only lets you watch on the final day OR just for VODs - dedicated observers

This is my first day watching it, but Ill weigh in. honestly the presentation just feels really dry to me. I dunno what it is, but it just doesnt capture my attention the way the other events have. Im probably just missing the audience

Not sure if this will help anyone else, but for me it's fixed the lag. I'm on terrible hotel internet right now and for whatever reason, the normal video player was really laggy. I switched to the single stream on Twitch.tv and it's running smoothly now.

Now even 480p lags while in finals. Seriously mlg is dropping a ball.

The final is unwatchable for me in 720 or 1080p in EU because of lag. Any other Europeans getting this?
|
|

This, even 720p is lagging bad for me tonight. It's fine most of the time, then all of a sudden (always in an important fight aswell ofc) it just freezes for 10-15secs. This + the fact that lots of people who didn't pay have been able to watch anyway makes me feel bad about paying $20. The quality of the tournament itself has been amazing though, but lag that makes you miss the important part of the games is just a huge issue. :/
Also, bo3 that can turn into a bo7 in the finals is bad, very bad. Bo5 that can turn into Bo9 would be nice, but this basicly means that the finals can be a quick 2-0 which is very anticlimactic.

laggy stream bo3 finals extended series
cant believe people paid 20$ for this
|
Did I not write here every MLG politely asking you to double the bandwidth? I can't even watch this. I won't be buying a pass for the next one or until I find out you guys finally deal with this every single MLG
|
Seems like the lag is fixed now.
