There was no live feed for this event, I asked about it and there was no time to set it up. I dont know if there will be any for tomorrow. But, you can always catch the LIVE Updates we do and will do for the remainder of the event. All I know is Paul Vlasblom and Ueo were tearing it up from the invited.

We noticed the traffic as well, I had to do several retry's on updates due to latency. We will be doing the same tomorrow, and we appreciate the love we are getting from out of country. I'll see what I can do to make the traffic flow better with the hoster as well. Always feel free to commant any questions or requests.
