In my wildest dreams MC, MMA, Losira, Moon, and July get fucking smashed.

This is not going to happen, but MLG is going to be fucking awesome this weekend.

And Idra vs MC to open the event

IdrA vs. MC to lead off? Fuck yes.

Why does SC2 have the lowest prize pool? Do Reach/Blops attract anywhere near the same number of viewers?

Also, anyone from ColumbusGAF going to see the show live?

Man I hope to make it home in time to catch some of these Reach matches today. SQ vs Instinct will be fucking insane.

I'm really disappointed that Bomber isn't going to be there, but Idra vs MC could be really good. The game's changed a lot in the past few months.

The second point comes up in every MLG thread (and probably will until the finals) but it has to do with SC2 being single competitors and the other games being team games.

I don't know how competitive Blops actually is, but I wouldn't even be surprised if Activision had a bit of a hand in having it appear at MLG

Ridiculously excited to watch an extreme amount of Starcraft this weekend. I'm really hoping MLG comes through with all the stream and improvements they have been talking about. 2 streams, new booths, and nice match-ups don't mean much if the streams are constantly down...

The company they partnered with to deliver the stream.

Decided to take a look, and saw this on the press page:

07/04/2011 The Royal Wedding

London, April 07, 2011 — Streamworks today announced an extensive deal with Associated Press™ to bring The Royal Wedding LIVE and On Demand to the Internet and mobile phones, April 29th 2011. Read more…

I imagine this stream should be a hell of a lot better than anything we got with Octoshape.

This will be awesome. I hope Naniwa gets to show who the boss is before he goes to Korea.

I wonder if number of viewers will be public like on justintv.

Yeah, I was just looking at that too. And then from the MLG article in your OP, they've got satellite trucks beaming directly to redundant data centers, so no worries about swamping the fuck out of some small-time ISP or ancient router or the like.

FXO – Anthony, Boss, OptikZero, Qxc, Slog, Tgun

Click to expand...
Can't wait to see some of the matchups that we get from the open bracket. It'll be interesting to see if Major performs well at his first live event after all the drama surrounding him. Part of me hopes July makes it to the championship bracket, and the other part hopes he gets demolished by someone like Thorzain :D

Never would've imagined that I'd be excited for another MLG event after Dallas. I hope they stick to schedule a bit better this time around, Friday's stream starts quite late for me :(

Sad to say but Tastosis > all, even Day[9]. How weird that they didn't just put all 4 of them together.

Oh I see, two seperate groups huh. Gonna suck choosing what matches to watch since it all looks good.

True. Tastosis casting archon > everything else. They didn't even need the recent archon buff for that.

Why can't they just have all of them do a pregame show?

I suppose it may have been too much awesome for one stream, in that case I begrudgingly understand.

I'm technically ClevelandGAF but I may try to head down there Saturday afternoon to check it out if I feel I have enough time, and if I can purchase a Spectator Pass last minute. I mean, it is so so close, but it will be a impulse decision most like.

It is going to be a push for me to get home in time for EGIdrA v oGsMC. Alright super powers, it is time to present yourselves and let flight be one of them.
