It's time again for North America's biggest offline tournament! From June 03 till June 05 the players will be battling for MLG's $14.000 Dollar pricepool at the Greater Columbus Convention Center located in Columbus, Ohio. Last MLG had some very exciting three days of Starcraft 2 and Major League Gaming's CEO Sundance promised an even better tournament for this weekend. There will be an improved stream, new player booths and an epic line up of Americans, Europeans and even some top notch Koreans.
Will Naniwa be able to repeat his outstanding performance of a streak of 25 wins and only 2 losses and come off as the winner of MLG's second tournament this year? Or will Koreans like MC prove to be too strong or the Swedish power house? We will see soon!

Be prepared for a weekend of amazing Starcraft 2 games!
(my company is doing this stream)
Firstly, I don't know if it's just me, but it doesn't seem obvious they are there.
Secondly, the VoDs seem to stop loading for me at arbitrary times, although I've not experienced many issues with the stream. I realise this could be the nature of streaming as opposed to pre-loading though, as I do get occasional packet loss on this connection..
2) The VODS need time to propogate, thats somewhat out of our hands just the nature of the way they're delivered.
3) lol at not switching to HQ :P (Yes baggiez told me)
Either way, congratulations. As I said to Baggiez you are no doubt doing alright for yourself!
On a side note, HOLY FUCKING AWESOMENESS, had an exam today but I stayed up to watch the games. Gonna get a shit grade, but it was totally worth it.
Quality was good though, and you were fast on fixing the power outages etc. Well done, you seem to be doing well for yourself!
Just a thought!
You cant forget that most people have been watching this all day so you actually need a bigger variety of adds than you do on TV to keep people interested. I can savely say ill never buy any form of dr.pepper again.
And i got no problem with paying a small ammount of money. If the hd stream wouldnt be free id have payed for that too.
Edit: And the fact that you cant mute it after the ads started is a huge joke imo.
/edit
very nice news btw dezire <3
