Only issue was the lag we had (from EU it seems), it looked like to always be the first set in each matchup(for me atleast). I hope you do the same for the MLG championship. I wanna watch all those matches at once. And watch the match afterwards in HD. Keep up the good work MLG! The best online watch/stream i've seen so far in the Starcraft 2 community! | ||

By your logic, "turdburgler", you are also being stupid because you aren't a psychic so you don't know that they don't have engineering backgrounds. Also internet routing/bandwidth has very little to do with engineering and in fact, if you study this kind of thing at a university you are a part of the computer science college rather than the engineering college. | ||

There was the possibility to watch the stream for free if you browse the mlg page via the incognito mode at chrome. While i paid for watching some of my friends abused that bug. They shut the stream off right at the most exciting point of the last match of the first bo3 just in order to fix the incognito bug. They ruined the game for EVERYBODY who paid to see the event just to ban some people who don't have theI possibility to pay for the stream. That was pretty much obvious since the bug was suddenly fixed when the stream came back on a few minutes later. Just registered to share that info with you! | ||

Well not sure how much better than this you can get when you have 4 streams in 1080p streaming about a total of 80 hours with only 30 seconds of lag and 30 seconds of downtime. I cant talk to the fact that there seems like a lot of EU has lag, but if you live in the States the lag you experienced was your own. | ||

I'm sure Twitch will come out saying theyre upgrading their EU servers for the 15th time in the last 6 months and everyone will cheer. And nothing will continue to get fixed. MLG needs to go back to whatever they used to stream Pro Circuit events in 2011, Twitch has been failing for so long now, I dont know what everyone was expecting. | ||

The stream has hardly any issues for 2 days and then a majority of people complain that the video is lagging (not the audio) for the finals. It seems justifiable that it is not their ISPs that are causing the issue. When you pay for a product you expect to get your moneys worth. This is one, if not the first, time a Starcraft II tournament was PPV only. The higher it is priced, the higher expectations we have of production quality. If you bought a pass for a boxing special on PPV and the picture all the sudden went fuzzy and sometimes cut out during the main event, do you not think you would have a right to complain or even ask for a refund? We are just learning from experience that the technology is horrid. It is still in an infancy phase. Internet connectivity is extremely sporadic and is different for each individual. How do you monetize an event when that is how you outlet your product? Each event might as well put in a warning: May have Battle.net drops. May have latency issues. May fail and shut down for short periods of time. If that is the case then a question we ask ourselves is, is the product $20? There is a large issue going on within the gaming community about how the majority of people complain and yet still buy the product. I think that we are vastly misled by the products we are buying and yet gaming is something we love so we always have high hopes. MLG is in that similar situation where they promise things they can not commit to. As a community we have illegitimate arguments within ourselves about complaining. Sadly, we complain about complainers. There are people who say "It's just $20" and people that say "It's $20, that's too much!" and these people have arguments over that. It wastes time and doesn't get any message across to people who actually have an impact on the product. The technology is not there for a company to have a PPV only event on this medium. It is too new and I disagree with Sundance when he states he wanted to start at $20 because then he can only go lower, not higher. I think you need to start low, gain enough credibility that the product is worth more and then gradually increase the price as it become more reliable. I would never pay $20 for this again. I would not pay $10. I would maybe pay $5 but I would consider that still a risk on my part. | ||

I live in the states and have a pretty beefy internet connection and a pretty beefy computer and I've been getting intermittent lag the entire weekend. It seems to be something that a lot of people are experiencing, myself included and given the high number of people experiencing similar symptoms I find it hard to believe that it's the viewer's issues. | ||

Nothing has changed with being able to watch it for free on the MLG site. | ||

I work for an internet streaming company on weekends (....not twitch....) so needless to say I have an excellent internet at my disposal that has to be consistant. There was no lag whatsoever for me until the finals, I wasn't running 4 streams at 720 concurrently (too much for the work comp to handle) but set at a reasonable bit rate there never was an issue. (1 stream at 720, 3 at 480) | ||

Thanks for making this weekend a blast to watch, I would of prefered a live audience as the crowds cheering the name of the winner just makes it that much more epic, but thats what MLG colombus will be all about. | ||
