Because that's how it works, and I don't really have any problem doing that on week-end to be honest, it would be an issue during the week when most of my readers are at work. Also, keep in mind that MLG owns MMO-Champion and we obviously want a maximum coverage of the event.

Yeah I hate having to stop it every time I open my browser (home page)

Dumb WoW "Esport"
If Blizzard supports this why:
- do they claim to balance on 5on5 when all tournaments are 2on2 or 3on3 and the imbalances in these brackets are pretty big OH HAI DRUIDZ ROGUEZ
- its possible to watch ongoing games during these tournaments yet not on live?
- the teams get premade Equip and can choose their race/class at will

Arenas destroyed real MMORPG PvP.

The 5vs5 comment is old, from early tbc. Far before they realised 5vs5 tournaments are unlikely to happen.
The classes that are used the most often in 3vs3 seem to be:
druid
rogue
warlock
mage
warrior
priest

6 out of 9 classes that are used a lot, just means there are 3 classes that aren't balanced. Hunters are a bit on the edge, some comps use them very well but it's less cookiecutter.
So you have shamans and paladins that needs buffs, we'll see how they do in wotlk.

----------------------

You compare 3-4 games going on at the same time with their own server to hundreds? Blizzard will likely enable it in the future, but without plenty of research it would be an insane strain on the servers.

----------------------

On test/beta realms we often get premades too, I don't see why you should get them on live realms though. The largest part of this game is pve, which includes levelling. I don't see tournament force people to level new characters though.

You seem extremely frustrated with a game, take a break of it ...

I'm enjoying the live stream. Thanks for putting it up.

This game is about pillars. Run arround them and win. Who run best arround pillar wins.
Long live blizzard and their pillars.

Is there again a link for an external player? I know last times there always was the opportunity to watch it in a external player, but i can´t find it, does someone has the link for me?
