Breach of contract, breach of warranty, and loss of earnings are three that come to mind.  If you purposefully get the game involved in tournaments worth tens of thousands of dollars in winnings and likely a hundred times that in advertising and other costs (probably much much more in Korea), not providing a stable service to play the game on is a PR and legal recipe for disaster.

" @Scooper: What regionals are these? Are we talkin SSF4? "

SSFIV, HDRemix, MvC2, TvC, Tekken, ect.  Best players on the planet playing loads of great fighting games. Good stream quality and good commentary. "

Seems like the official forums for Battlenet status and SC2 are conveniently offline. Hopefully the MLG folk are giving Blizzard hell right now. This really doesn't look good for Blizzard. Looking forward to a fairly out of character hardcore rant by Brad in the next podcast. I know you're pissed Mr. Shoemaker, let us know how you feel!

Look at your game, now back to me, now back at your game, now back to me. Sadly, it isn't me. But if it had LAN support for tournament play it could be stable like me. Look down, back up, where are you? You're at MLG with the game your game could be like. What's on your monitor? It's Jinro using a manner factory to block mining. Look again, the game has successfully concluded.
Anything is possible when your game actually has LAN support for tournaments. Bunker rush.
 
I think I've seen that commercial too many times now. Bummer that they don't seem to be continuing to cast replays though, that was actually making it alright. =/

This tourney is amazing.  Jinro is my new Terran hero.  His game 2 against Socke yesterday was the single most epic game I've seen yet!

a little anti-climactic after all the wait for the final game, but i guess that was to be expected,
 
those connection problems sucked hard

" @Scooper: where? where where? "

" @sixghost: I'm sure both agreements discuss Battle.net disruptions, but that won't exactly stop a group from suing.  I imagine Blizzard had to make at least some warranty of the battle.net service when licensing it out for use/broadcast. There are lots of ways to get around contracts, and with probably millions of dollars at stake some North Korean and US lawyers will have a lot of fun managing the inevitable legal dispute that'll come about when battle.net screws up GSL tournaments. "

If Blizzard doesnt add LAN after this, then they really are as ignorant and disconnected from the community as a lot of people think. Now that the game has been out, there isnt any argument against LAN because the only argument against it in the first place was sales numbers. Now most of the people who were gonna buy it have already bought it, and the people that still want it but dont have it will still probably buy it because the amount of people that will 1. still be/want to be playing the game months after it's out, and 2. only want to play their friends, is a very small minority.

To many macros going on at once >.<

Congrats to Jinro! Team Liquid had a good showing.

Great series.

I think Bisu and SKTT1 will continue to domin-..............wait a minute. 

Meh, Star Craft.
Meh, competitive gaming.

I mostly stick to GSL to get my competitive SC2 fix it's almost constantly on and the level of play is just a lot higher than some of these other tournaments.  I also am more partial to the Korean playstyle, but that's solely personal preference.  

So is there anywhere where you can watch replays of the stream? I missed Friday and a little of Saturday, and I love Day 9's and DJwheat's commentary.

Yes Blizzard, TT1 really wants LAN.

Battle.net, what me worry.
