I love hearing about match results from twitter. The "unstreamed LR3 matches" rant.

No really, there's nothing better than F5'ing every once in a while to get the scores, it's like the good old days when people used a live ticker for sports.

Bad jokes aside, I'm talking about the eU vs EG match in LR3 and yes I'm a little bit upset. It went to a game 5 round 11 that eU won (huh, would you believe that, also no spoiler tag cause welp, there was no official stream to miss). Luckily eU streamed it on fb so big shoutout to them for making it relatively easy to find, thanks. It feels like there have always been events where important matches like this were not officially streamed and some unsung heroes went to periscope or something to stream at least some off-screen footage and give others around the world a chance to catch some of it. Thanks to anyone who has done it in the past and will do it in the future.

See, I get it. The streams on Saturdays are long, today they were between 10 and 12 hours long from looking at the twitch VoDs, and perhaps you think they are not worth streaming, but come on MLG, would it really be that hard to have one or two people around to run the CoD Caster with no commentary like you do on Charlie and Delta and (*they already have someone doing that for the people there anyway) stream at least two of the matches or hop between the matches? TBH I'd even be ok with a picture in picture stream. I do not see why those matches that are pretty important do not get streamed when you start the stream with 3 OB matches (which btw I appreciate as it gives some smaller teams that play well some exposure), but still those matches decide over who will be playing on Sunday. I just don't get it and it's something I've been annoyed by for many events over many years and it doesn't matter if it was the team I support playing or some other good matchup I was curious about. Having to desperately look for these commuity-off-screen-streams isn't fun and sometimes you just won't find any and all you are left is some tweets.

I'm sure there are quite a few threads like this for other events already and it's repetitive, but today I had to complain myself after all this time because this one was especially intense. I would really love to get some honest reasoning for why it is the way it is when Activision could easily afford to at least stream it uncasted. You really need to step your streaming game up and turn down that music in the venue, thanks I guess...
