I think they haven't done nearly enough to isolate them from the commentary, so unless they enforced a (high) standard game volume then this could have been a concern.

Sure because it's MLG's net's fault that BNet is shit.

Of course you could circumvent the need for it simply by putting LAN in, but that's too simple.

<< Comment #61 @ 01:01 CST, 8 November 2010 >>

By

vedic - Reply to #60

No, it's MLG's fault that their internet is shit. The only people who really want LAN are the ones who don't want to pay for the game.

<< Comment #62 @ 01:10 CST, 8 November 2010 >>

By

ZeritoN - Reply to #61

... and all the SC2 players that were just on lo3 complaining that they wanted LAN...

... and just about every SC2 player that wants LAN games...

... Nah you're right, it's MLG's fault

The "appeal to authority" argument doesn't work when you're not quoting authority. Amateurs complain about a lot of things, and they're all equally invalid.

<< Comment #64 @ 01:48 CST, 8 November 2010 >>

By

Naghokez - Reply to #62

Don't forget that MLG's internet was working fine during the finals, it was the battlenet servers who were unstable. So yeah, definitely MLG's fault :p

I'm pretty sure that vedic numbers several arguments 1-6, rolls a die, then considers it his challenge for the day to argue the point no matter how nonsensical or irrational.

quite prossible, but not just for the day.

If he has decided he will keep going forever, or at least until he forgets that he used to have a different opinion before. Then it's his mission to maintain how he did not contradict himself.

yeah, I'm sure jinro and TT1 didn't mind at all that there was a delay which could have been easily solved by Blizzard.

<< Comment #65 @ 02:30 CST, 8 November 2010 >>

kaliberr44 - Reply to #58

They had a working inet connection - the B.NET was down - so your argument is invalid.

It was pretty farcical. Blizz want to have their cake and eat it too, pushing for SCII as a viable e-sport and neglecting to offer basic, vital features congruent to that goal.

(Minor) SPOILERS

It's a real shame as the tournament had so many great moments and outstanding matches that it really warranted a more fitting end. The waiting also was pretty unfair on both the finalists, particularly TT1 who was facing an uphill battle already being 3-1 down.
