But once we saw that the finals were going to be all Koreans, we left at 2 instead of staying until 7 to watch the games and saved a night at the hotel and drove home instead. amen my friend. glad to hear some sanity for a change. | ||

too much tvt the pool system was flawed. having guys like inc/idra/drewbie getting their shit stomped on wasn't pretty for me since i was rooting for those guys. | ||

Sc2 fans should like all the games regardless of country and just leaving because some guy who works less than someone else didn't make it doesn't sound like someone who's a real fan of the game. Just my criticism. | ||

Losira's keyboard screwing up constant lag due to people on bnet messaging players inconsistent and unknown schedule MLG Anaheim practically went 100% smoothly. people can complain about downtime but MLG Anaheim operated on a specified schedule and mostly stuck to it. to prove my point, using your stats as a comparison Columbus had 28,621 posts and 2,369,688 views while Anaheim had 15,307 posts and 962,046 views MLG Dallas 2011 had the following Day 1: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=207500 - 10,031 posts & 1,010,773 Day 2: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=208064 - 11,444 posts & 1,296,535 Day 3: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=208442 - 18,644 posts & 1,882,184 views total values: 40,119 posts & 4,189,492 only reason why MLG Dallas 2011 had such higher numbers was because the event was such utter shit MLG Anaheim was better than MLG Columbus no matter what kinds of theories people want to make up about people not wanting to watch Koreans dominate | ||

Not MLG's fault Definetly not the players fault. I absolutely loved every SlayerS TvZ though, thats BFH style with rine drop and the +1 timing stim followup was just fun to watch and I would stay up if DRG was in the finals, but he got knocked out. Needed some more korean zergs/Protoss imo but ow well can't have it all. Ow yeah, the stream problems over at columbus and the keyboard problems were reasons for spamming. | ||

Colombus we had the IdrA-MMA gg moment that must have caused everyone who heard it to check the LR thread to see people's reaction. The thread jumped about a 100 pages in a few minutes ( maybe 10) because of that. Also, the thread got split between Red and Blue which further discourage discussion. And it is just the way it is with LR thread. People get used to it and don't bother participating in the LR anymore because F5-ing distract you from the actual experience. GSL thread views and posts also decrease a lot since the early days. The smoother the viewing experience is, the lesser the need to participate in the LR threads unless something mindblowing happens. | ||

Agreed, less drama during this MLG. The IdrA/MMA games combined with IdrA/MC games instantly added 50-100 pages worth of comments on the LR thread. This MLG lacked such drama. | ||

Not much "drama" but there was a lot of fun stuff going on throughout, and the storylines of the matchups were 10x better. Boxer and Rain chatting about how they couldn't attack each other, then also Boxer telling MMA to win it all into a gg. The games were a lot of fun. | ||

-People discussed pages and pages of idrA beating MC on the opening games, followed by MC saying he would never lose to idrA if he was at 100% (jetlagged). Then he did the throat slash and idrA flicked him off. Even fate had it so that MC would face idrA again and even with extended series MC beat him. -idrA premature gg after MMA destroyed his own command center when he was probably going to win. -MC just being the best entertainer and hyping up every game he's in, like announcing that naniwa was the best protoss foreigner and their matches would determine who the best protoss in the world is. Naniwa dancing the zealots but ended up losing... So I don't think the size of the LR thread reflects the amount of viewers. | ||

I didn't really watch much of this MLG because the results seemed more certain and the games definitely felt more one-sided and lacked the suspense of games from past tournaments for sure. Also, I think SC2's fandom has diminished slightly, though it is still very big. | ||
