Unless you're new to the scene of StarCraft 2 or gaming on a professional level you've probably heard of MLG. If you don't apply to the above and you still haven't, just over a week from now will be your chance to see something amazing.
With the second event on the 2011 Circuit only days away, more information is constantly being thrown at us. Tastosis flying in to cast, 4 Korean players making the flight and the MLG/GSL partnership. Turns out that MLG wasn't finished with just that, as they've recently announced a few things:
The Streamworks Partnership
To make certain that you can watch the streams at home, uninterrupted and in superb quality, we have partnered with world-class live streaming company Streamworks. Our partnership with Streamworks will begin at MLG Columbus and continue throughout the 2011 Pro Circuit Season. Working together, we have pulled out all the stops.
Within the Streamworks Partnership there are also these two new details.
* The HQ stream will be available in up to 720p.
* There is no download required; you can watch both the standard and HQ streams directly from the video player on the MLG site.
Free HQ Friday
To give you the chance to see our all-new streams for yourself, all of the streams on Friday will be shown in HQ, for free.
HQ rebroadcasts from Friday’s matches will also be made available to everyone right on the site as the matches are played.
Rebroadcast Availability
If you purchase an HQ pass, you will have almost immediate access to rebroadcasts of commentated matches for all three games. We will be making rebroadcasts available to you all weekend right on the site, just a few hours after each match finishes.
Sound Proofing
Booths, in combination with noise-cancelling headphones and earbuds, will ensure that the players can’t hear anything happening in the venue.
Spectators in the venue will be able to hear every word of the commentary for all Main Stage matches.
To make the event even closer to home, MLG has put a poll up on their website allowing you to vote on which matches you want to see broadcasted on Friday night.

*At 5:30, 6:30 and 7:30pm, a second match from the Feature Stations will be streamed, based on the results of the Community Polls. *
