EDIT: There is no official stream. The brackets page is private so I'll do what I can to update this thread with details.
EDIT2: MLG site is falling apart, can't handle the pressure.
EDIT3: MaFia and tgun are streaming their matches!
EDIT4: Keep in mind that this is a double elimination event.
I am just finding out about some serious errors with SC2battles. This is not acceptable. Every single person that paid for the NA qualifier will receive free entry to the next online tournament, or receive a full refund.
Sincere apologies. The tournament will continue and will still yield proper qualification results, but this is not the user experience we pride ourselves on with our tournaments. Again, this is not okay and we will address the errors immediatley tomorrow.
We apologize for the inconvience that many are experiencing with the NA Open Online Qualifier. We ran into a few unexpected errors when attempting to build the bracket that caused the tournament to start later than planned.
The Online Qualifier is still continuing on as planned.
Sparticus: ATTENTION!!! - At this point due to the issues, we are going to postpone until tommorrow at 8PM EST. Any matches played in WR1 will stand, but any matches not played or forefits made will not stand. If you have already played WR2, it will also stand.

MLG will be releasing an official statement soon. All players that have paid to play in the NA Open Online Qualifier will be receiving a full refund.
The rest of tonights matches will be postponed until tomorrow at 8 PM EST (WR1). At 9:30 PM ET tomorrow, WR2 and LR1 will be played. Again, if these matches have been played, the matches will continue to stand.
So if you're losing, and just quit out - does it count?

What so only two rounds are being played today? Does that mean tgun is done for the day?
Will there be other qualifiers for this MLG? if so Glade def should do that. First rainbow upsets SEA by taking our masters cup, now his girlfriend upsets us by taking out our Glade!!! ><
haha you're thinking about aphrodite spoon, Apocalypse is a top GM Korean terran.
There is also a lower bracket for this tournament and no, no other qualifiers.
To the competitors who this affected directly, we're tremendously sorry and will be refunding each and every member who paid to compete in this qualifier. You do not need to do anything in order to collect your refund – we'll take care of it automatically.
The North American Open Online Qualifier will Continue Wednesday at 8pm ET
We'll be working diligently to ensure our website is ready to go tomorrow when the tournament resumes. To make up for tonight's delays, we'll be extending the tournament by one day. The remainder of Winners Bracket Round 1 will be played Wednesday evening at 8pm ET. If you successfully completed any matches tonight, they will not need to be replayed – any results from today will still count; the integrity of those results was not affected by the MLG website.
The revised schedule is as follows:
Thursday, April 12th
9:30 AM – 10:00 AM Check-In
10:00 AM Winners Round 1
10:30 AM Winners Round 2 / Losers Round 1
11:00 AM Losers Round 2
Friday, April 13th
9:30 AM – 10:00 AM Check-In
10:00 AM Winners Round 3 / Losers Round 3
10:30 AM Losers Round 4
11:00 AM Winners Round 4 / Losers Round 5
Saturday, April 14th
9:30 AM – 10:00 AM Check-In
10:00 AM Losers Round 6
10:30 AM Winners Round 5 / Losers Round 7
11:00 AM Losers Round 8
Please note the bolded part above means that Rossi, Mafia and tgun do NOT need to play tomorrow. Tomorrow is Round 1 and Round 2 for the people who missed out. Round 3 will resume on Friday. I'm gonna go back and update the OP with results now. Check back in 5.

Good luck guys, have fun messing with their head with your uber tactics

Great success! Gotta do something to keep myself amused whilst I wait for walkovers.
Makes me a little sad that this happens to our reps of SEA that go through the qualifiers.
It would be nice if MLG could accommodate more for our region.
I'm talking to the admins now. It's straight up retarded. He received a forfeit for not playing his match against an opponent who didn't even show up. The aforementioned opponent was forfeit in the very next round. Not gonna let this stick...

Wow wtf? They better let Glade advance in place of that guy then.

Go Dox! That's crazy... if I had a mutual walkover and then one player showed up I'd change it to put them through... and if Glade was there and it wasn't even a mutual walkover that's even more insane...
Okay since I'm at work and the admins weren't replying to e-mails, private messages or tweets, I asked tgun to ask them (via Battle.net) to get in touch with me. Skype, MSN, e-mail, twitter, whatever.
The response?

Revenant lost in the LBR2 to Veritas btw, he hasn't got much mention in this thread so that's where he is at.
All remaining SEA in lower bracket or out of the tournament. I'm vsing GoSuSTX tomorrow, rossi's waiting for winner of Hendralisk (who knocked out Tgun in LBR4) vs escDaisy. If me and rossi both win our matches we play each other. Not what I'd want exactly but we'll see.
players also just cant be expected to be free to play 3 days in a row. Andy was on time 2 days in a row, waiting for hours on end. he didnt even play games in between in case his opponent was ready, so thats practicing time wasted too..
Looking at the brackets, his MLG id is SterlingSC2123 but it's listing his SC2 id as MLGDeimos.... this can't be right.
Interesting post from someone on tl:

just for clarification sake, how often did you have to ask admins where this clown "SterlingSC2123" was?
He had no reason to ask where Sterling was - Sterling hadn't even been decided as GLaDe's next opponent at that point. Sterling's match against TargA was still yet to be played. Sterling and TargA were tied 1-1. The 3rd game was postponed to today. Sterling never showed up. TargA waited ages before receiving the walkover, and Sterling fell down to the lower bracket, where he immediately received a walkover against GLaDe.
Hendralisk went on to receive a walkover against Sterling, and tgun proceeded to receive a walkover against Hendralisk. But then it seems Hendralisk came online and they revoked the walkover. tgun eventually lost to Hendralisk 0-2, so it's too late for any action to be taken now. The bracket has advanced too far.

So glade didn't even have an opponent to ask after... just waiting for the result of another game... and he gets immediately walked over. That's just ******* dumb. -infinity respect for MLG.

Yep, exactly. His opponent was eliminated from the upper bracket for not showing up, and was immediately rewarded with a free win in the lower bracket despite not being online. Ugh.

How can they justify the revoke of a walkover. Once a decision is made it needs to stick, MLG just lost a tonne of respect I had for the way they ran things.
Putting the 3rd game of a set off until tomorrow is also un-acceptable, the ref who okay that needs to be shot. After being taught the error of their ways with some electric shocks that will just be left on until tomorrow.
I will never rely on MLG to organise me sexual intercourse in a licenced brothel.
I will never rely on MLG to provide me a brewed beverage in a place where beverage brewing occurs
The events taking place liken MLG to teets on a male cow. Useless.
Those players not plagued with fuckups please proceed to dominate.

This is like the biggest noob mistake ever wtf this is admining 101.

You can't when glade's manager contacts you... but you can when it's against tgun.
I feel like I should clarify. Yes, he was walked over. However, I had told the admins that I was ok with waiting for him (he asked for a 45-1hr delay due to work). He was walked over at about 1hr20min, then came on shortly after and I wasn't even aware they walked him over in the brackets.
I told the admin it was completely up to him to walk over the opponent: I hate taking ff victories, especially if I'm given notice of why he needed to go afk (boss called him in on emergency: no way I'm taking a walkover by choice).
To give the walkover, and take it back, is really, really stupid. But don't crucify them over that -- GLaDes issue is much worse.

Yeah, there's more to it than what I said, but still: one case where they are happy to let someone play who shows up 20 minutes late(r than they asked for a delay for). And one case where someone shows up 20 minutes late, then gets walked over sometime after this while they are present (with no opponent asking for one) then Dox gets ignored until it's 'too late' cause the brackets have advanced.
Im just commenting on what appears to be two wildly differing adminning styles here... does an organisation as big as MLG not even give their admins some kind of guideline to ensure there is at least some consistency. Cause if they were just busting balls on anyone who caused a delay at all, I'd be more willing to accept Glade being walked over. But with incidents like this guy and Sterling being able to postpone for days with a series at 1-1 I'm just seeing people doing whatever the **** they want (and screwing all the sea players over in the process, sadly)
