Don't be so excited, guys--we're waiting for Blizzard to patch a bug. It'll still be a few month's wait, if we're lucky.

My thoughts exactly lol. But props for MLG for the good info!

I'm happy to wait. MLG has been incredibly responsive to fans and as professional as they come.

Great job guys!

Thanks for the explanations MLG is being transparent and i think everybody loves it

. I hope blizzard will not take too long to patch this though. And I'd also like to say that I like the way you're working with youtube casters, it can help "casual sc viewers" (who watch games on youtube but don't actually know anything about the competitive scene) to get into real competitive starcraft, and it gives quality material for the casters.

Big thanks to MLG for working on this so diligently, I think it's something both casters and players alike can really benefit from.

Wow..listening to SOTG now, just learned this. Very happy with this development. This a great step to getting rid of that "we're entitled to everything" mindset that is so prevalent.

Is there a list of casters that you guys make a request to make vods from or do they request the replays from you?

So uh.. could anyone apply to be a 'caster' ? Like.. I'd cast every single one of them (with various degrees of success -hrm-) if that's what it took for me to be able to watch them

very cool, it's really encouraging to see that they want to do things right, instead of just doing something so people get off their backs. It's also great that they're letting us know whats going on. <3333

You're a cool guy Lee, but I just wish you didn't have to come up with all the vague crap in your original posts, trying to justify not releasing the replays on some completely unrelated statements, just say "there are some technical issues that I can't talk about yet" and no shitstorm will be released and you will - slowly over time - get a reputation as an honest spokesperson for MLG.

I'm sorry for your long long explanation but I think Blizzard already give u the option to stop spam by setting your status 'busy'.

Yes, pretty simple, just click your status and set it to busy. How hard is this?

Please dont tell me pro's are a bunch of kids who cant do this simple task before their each game, which you already use as an excuse ... Honestly, is setting your status busy harder than larva injection/ drop mules/ chronoboost?

For someone who doesn't understand about 90% of the issues detailed in the OP, what are the chat spam issues/exploits/technical problems etc mentioned in the first post referring to?

Can't wait to watch the rep's and learn a thing or two

And thanks to MLG, Blizzard, and everyone who makes things like this happen

I think the problem they're talking about might be the spamming of chat invites, which might be potentially causing lag issues. I don't believe setting your status to busy prevents these.

At any rate, hopefully this will put to rest some of the conspiracy theories that were running rampant.

It's not just an issue with getting spam in the text form on the stream, there is a deeper technical issue related to incoming data flow through the MLG internet connection if every idiotnerd with the knowledge of the MLG Cast accounts is spamming them. Think of it like someone sending you a letter 500 times a day - just because you don't pick up the mail, doesn't mean it's not clogging up your mailbox.

Anyway - this is fantastic news and I'm so happy to hear that the reps will be released - MLGLee and Sundance, you guys are truly ESPORTS heroes!
