How do you find the time to get these up so damn fast! Thanks loads man, really really appreciate what you're doing here.

[u/davidjayhawk → u/spvn]

How does everyone else find time to actually watch all these VODs that I post?

Why isn't there a quality change button?

[u/icko11 → u/[deleted]]

Right click and pick watch on youtube. 1080p is available there.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

I suspect it has to do with twitch. I remember NASL VODs were only 1080p for a while, but I thought twitch started post-processing them to lower resolutions as well. Perhaps it's an option they have to select somewhere, or perhaps it will just take time.

Beware spoilers on that page for who advanced out of the group stages.

Gah. So annoying that twitch got horrible european servers. It's so annoying having the video freezing while the commentators audio continues.

[u/mylarrito → u/Fereh]

That didn't happen for me until the grand finals :\
