I'm so happy we have extremely talented people like yourself in our community. You were an incredibly important part of the success of the event. Your hosting was smart and professional, truly a class act.

Thank you ReDeYe, you magnificent british bastard!

/edit and in these times of massive negativity about SC2, it's so frickin awesome to hear that you are so passionate about the game! GLHF!

You are amazing RedEye!
To all the haters: you deserve to witness many, many more Serral victories, worthy of the godlike player he is.

...there is something magical about watching Starcraft, something I just can’t put my finger on, but ultimately something that fills me with adrenaline and makes the hairs on my neck stand up when I see a great play or get ready to watch two amazing players take each other on.


So well said. I wish we could bottle that sentiment up and spread it around. Is SC2 complicated and difficult to master? Yes. Is it fun to watch at the absolute highest level. VERY MUCH SO!!!

You did a great job and the stream was good. I actually met you a couple of times maaaany years ago when I was a cod2&4 "pro" (as much as it was possible) and you were always an awesome guy.

However, for most people attending Gamescom live it was disappointing. Way too few seats, screens were poorly positioned and died on saturday/sunday. Sound was directed only to the people in front of the stage, the people on the side couldn't hear anything (and the people on one side couldn't watch much either due to the screen dying). Also, incredibly rude and incompetent admins (short beardy guy was pathetic). Obviously this isn't your fault, as you have nothing to do with what went wrong, but I'm just sharing my and my friends' experiences.


I'm really sorry to hear that and you are right, there were issues with seating people. I don't know who the guys were seating people, they may have been hired in to help, but I don't recognise them from ESL offices. I will raise this with the team and make sure it is in the feedback.

The screen being dead didn't help, but not much you can do when something like that goes wrong on the day

Great job! I remember watching djwheat's shows during the early days of sc2 and he would always talk about this redeye guy from back in the day, but said he was retired from esports now. Then one day I see this redeye guy start hosting sc2 events and was like wait is that the guy djwheat always talked about? You do a great job hosting events!

I can acknowledge his passion for the game. It was really inspiring to see him look completely mesmerised while he was sitting on the stairs of the stage, watching the games on the small analysis screen.

for criticism: after 20:00, we went for a bathroom break, and the gamescom stewards didn't allow us to go back to sc2 as they said the venue was closed... So we missed out on the last games.

And, as has been said before: seating issues, noise pollution (from LoL mostly). But overall: GREAT event/experience. I was standing 20cm behind Polt when he was playing Grubby on stream 2. (Behind the main stage). Unique experience, I still get chills thinking back.

Im sorry, but why is there in this entire post no mention of 1 of the 2 beamers failing and having way too few seats? I know that it maybe was hard to guess how many people would come for WCS, since tickets were only sold for the entire Gamescon, but please acknowledge the bad things aswell :/

Redeye, this might also sound cheesy, but you're the best host I've ever or heard, not only in esports but in just basically everything, we can feel the passion from you and thats what make you incredible.

If you read the comments through, you'll see I spoke about both issues.

Big thumps up for you and the hole team. You guys put a really great show on. Sadly enough I wasn't able to watch the whole weekend but what I've seen was probably the best sc2-event with some of the best games ever (anybody who haven't seen Invoation against Teja set 3 should go to Youtube right away)

But it was not only this weekend, the hole season of WCS EU was very good so big thank you for that too!

ESL this season has been incredibly on point with the broadcasts, even throwing in some extras here and there in case of deadtime was a wonderful touch.

I agree about map picks and bans, it really doesn't add much unless we can hear what folks are saying.

Thanks for a great job!
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment

I was there on friday and I really liked it The admins in charge of the seating were a little bit rude but I didn't let that kill the mood for me. I was 100% hype :D

Next time I'll be sure to get you to sign something somehow

It was the best sc2 event so far in terms of downtime and the quality of the games + story lines.

My only issue is after watching The international 3, I am spoiled forever by 0 and I mean ZERO downtime. I understand the need to run ads but I wish there would have been a desk with the casters not casting analyzing and just talking in between games/matches.

The couch was a nice idea, the TV analysis was a nice idea but it was always placed in between downtime. So If I had to rate WCS EU Season 2 finals I would put it at 95% and that 5% missing is the downtime.
