As someone that works in broadcasting, I have some sympathy because a lot of things can go wrong, but the sheer amount of issues they've had and how long it has taken them to correct them is actually absurd, I can't believe this is a professional production.

it's so bad, NOTHING is working correctly. Mics aren't calibrated, audio quality is completely inconsistent, streams keep going completely dead, they do horrible game switching on the multicast...

Bot TI had fewer production issues than this

It is not acceptable for professionally broadcast anything to have these kinds of fuckups. If the NFL was dropping video and audio feeds like this for the first game of each season it would be ridiculous.

Schnorkles: Apr 30, 2015; It's a little bit juvenile, but it's simple and it's timeless.

We let it be known that Schnorkles, for a snack, eats tiny pieces of shit.

I do work for ESPN and can confirm that if we had even 1/5 of these problems we would not have jobs anymore, the level of failure here is almost impressive.

I'm watching in-game and the commentary doesn't have any of the audio issues of the streams. On the other hand, some of the matches have been oddly choppy.
