Definitely a little disappointed in the coverage quality. Commentators are excellent so no complaints there, but it took most of the day for them to get the stream up and their set up isn't well lit making the cards difficult to see. There's also a lot of white noise in the transmission. It's still watchable but not up to the standards set by the Wizards coverage team or the SCG crew.
The coverage quality being poor is unsurprising. We had an hour lag between rounds for the first three rounds. They were testing a "new system" that resulted in round 3 starting at 2pm. Their internet was down sometimes.
It was my first Grand Prix and although I would love to go again, they really screwed the pooch on the first three rounds. It shouldn't take 5 hours to do 3 rounds.
Didn't see Day 1 so not sure if it improved. The video quality is clear enough on my computer, and with LSV as part of the commentary I can't complain.

I was actually very close to dropping during the ridiculous R3-4 delay despite being 2-1. I have to wonder why they didn't alpha test the new DCIR using results from a previous GP.

I heard Gregg Popovich will be in attendance. Said medical procedure is actually just playtesting with David Robinson.
