Completely laggy at the end. Was hoping for an insane final match but got to watch 2 second bursts every minute or so. AWESOME -.-

Lag Killed Esports. The last game was so good it crashed the stream. Congrats MC.

edit:

MC saves Esports by signing everything and anything and being a true boss with the fans. Ditto for Husky and Day[9].

Glad to see it wasn't just me then. Lag absolutely ruined the last game for me, until it came back to show the final momen- no, instead I get yet another ad about wearing seatbelts. Missed the finale and very annoyed.

It was a great tournament despite the original sound problems and occasional moments of lag, shame the final game was unwatchable. But the most annoying aspect of this weekend was the constant advertising from Quiznos and that bloody seatbelt thing (65 bucks? Man, I gotta work, like, all day just to make 65 bucks) cropping up. I understand that day9 wants the revenue from advertising, but if you're going to put it on the stream can it at least be semi-intelligent? Put the ads on during the breaks, not during the games themselves. Please. It really ruins things when I don't get to see the key moments of numerous games simply because the seatbelt authority wants me to belt up.

You live the life you choose.

Would have been cool if I got to see it. I mean I had the stream up but it got so choppy and then was just sound for half of the last match.. On top of that the sound was messed up all weekend. I had to refresh every 5-10 minutes to keep the sound from jumping 10 seconds ahead of the video.. Other than the poor stream quality the matches I managed to watch without giving up were really great. The Last day was definitely the best in terms of games. I also wish Thorzain had a better showing, the Spoon Terran is my fav foreigner! Also it was funny when Stephano and MC trash talked each other in their matches before they faced off. Then they actually gave each other credit and didn't try to get in each others head.
5/10

Also Husky, Wheat, and Day[9] did so great casting over the weekend. I was so surprised to see how much Husky has improved with his casting. I actually enjoyed him for the 2nd or 3rd time ever lol. Hope they host another event but straighten out the stream problems

Playing Protoss is like playing Guitar Hero on Very Easy

MC is quite the entertainer. He's like c'mon stephano, hold up that trophy, at least pretend like you care!

I'm curious how many people were up int he bleachers.. werent there like balconies and such at the venue?

Oh and I've always kinda liked husky, never had a problem with him. But now I am officially a Husky Fan, that solo cast was great, and husky is just the man!

P.S. I'm nub. If you'd like you can follow me @xthurst but its not worth it ill be honest

Tech guy on Day9's stream just said they didn't get the data and the archive of the final game will most likely be messed up as well.
