Please do not post spoilers of any sort about the games in this thread. People are specifically directed to this thread to watch the VODs without any hints as to the outcomes. |

The first VODs normally go online at like 9 or 10 pm EDT and then the rest process after that, so it won't be long until the first ones are out, but for the latter series of the day you will have to wait a bit.
Awesome, I can't wait til the VODs are up! I was at work all day and couldn't watch them live... 
Thanks everyone for all the hard work that you put into this! It is greatly appreciated.
EDIT:
@grieverEU
It's 9:23 pm EDT as I'm posting this.

refreshing the youtube page every minute  3:15 AM CET is 10:15 PM EDT, right?
|
well Middle europe time is 6 hours ahead of eastern standard time so it would 9:15 when its 3:15a there. Not sure if CET is the same as MET
|
its actually 10:20 in eastern time right now

Watch the live stream for the Fxopen while you're spamming F5 on this page. It's been working well for me.
Need my Saturday night SC2 fix!
But in all seriousness huge thanks to TL for putting together such an awesome tournament with great support (including the VODs).

Haha shit, go figure I look for the VODs right before they're uploaded, lame.

Next week I am calling off work so I don't have to wait for the VODS >_<

So stoked.

I'm sorry for bringing this up again, like I did on the first page, but why isn't TL making a torrent download available like they did for TSL2? I found that system incredibly good, you could get all the games very fast and watch them whenever offline.
The only reasons that I can speculate why they wouldn't do this is maybe for views on youtube so that they get money through their partnership? (this is quite a conclusion to leap to though imo, especially since they embed the videos here and iirc embedded videos don't register views)
I can't imagine it's because they don't want vods distributed, because anyone can simply download them off youtube.
All in all, I'm just wondering why they aren't doing the torrent service this season.

If you want to support TL for more TSL's you should just worry about watching the videos on their Youtube channel (and making an account and subscribing) it is all contributing factors to prize money and funding.

why does everyone want torrents for?
Its like asking someone to make more zealots when they build void rays 'cause you wanna build roaches. just make hydras, its WAY easier.
click the "Share" tab in YouTube. Paste the link into the browser and the DL begins. Why torrent when you get a direct DL? 720p, 480p, or 320p, they're all avail.
Silly 'ling 'lings. Hope this helps.
Anyways, when can we expect the VOD's for Day 3 to be up? I missed the stream and didn't see anything about the VOD upload times.
I did, however, notice a bunch of people T_T over how many times they've been refreshing. For those that haven't encoded before or uploaded videos, uploading take almost twice as long than downloading. My DL speeds are 2.2MB while my UL speeds are at a ridiculously, painfully slow 50kbps.

Are VODs for Day3 available yet?
|
Unless you add &hd=1 to the end of all the videos you get the lower resolution versions when you download directly off of youtube, unless I'm mistaken.

Well the prize money comes from Pokerstrategy.com's generous sponsoring. As for supporting TL, I do have a youtube account and am subscribed to both of TL's accounts and I have watched all the TSL games on their channel.
However, that's unrelated to my question. I'm just curious as to why they aren't doing a torrent service when it was so successful in TSL2.
If it's anything about infrastructure, manpower or some perfectly reasonable explanation that TL probably has, then I'm fine with that. After all, as far as I'm aware, this is all volunteer work for pretty much everyone involved (except HB, Rich and probably some other guys) and I am very grateful to everyone who has made this amazing event a possibility.

Well because you can get them much faster (i.e. you don't have to wait for them to be uploaded to youtube and then processed to 720p) and I don't know if it's just me, but my youtube downloads always seem to be pretty low quality.

Hotbid and R1CH are both asleep. I wouldn't expect them up for at least a few more hours (maybe 3-4am easter). Raw 720p footage for 4 hours long is somewhere around 600 gigs. We have to compress that, chop it into vods, fix syncing, export it, fix any problems and then upload to youtube. It takes a while.

All the hard work is appreciated!

Thanks for the update Kennigit. I'll just wait and watch them tomorrow then!!

thanks for the OFFICIAL answer Kennigit!!!
either way, they have to be uploaded. it's gonna take time. so you want them to upload and create a torrent, AND upload to YouTube. never encoded before huh?
Here's a suggestion. How about YOU make the torrent and provided it for the masses. You'll get a lot of love, on top of the fact that you'd be contributing to TL's growth AND the tournament. But i'm sure after 1 day of matches, you'll quit. That's if your PC and network connection is good enough to make it happen. VODs for Day1 and Day2 are already out. GL.

No, I haven't done encoding before, that's why I'm asking why there isn't a torrent. I guessed that that sort of thing could have been the issue, which is why I said I completely understood if it had to do with infrastructure.
You're still missing the point though, the main reason that I found the torrent useful was because the speed of getting the videos was faster. That's all there really is to it. It's no big deal if I just watch them on youtube, which I have done so far, I was just wondering about a torrent.
