S2 was great as a home spectator. Really pulled me back in to watching SC2 regularly again. If I had to list a complaint downtime is the only thing that really comes to mind. Otherwise I really liked everything.

I actually read this in your voice. WCS (Europe) season 2 was hands down the best tournament I've ever watched. It had great games and even better storylines (seeing duckdeok go from zero to hero against everyone's expectations was amazing and not something we'll see again anytime soon). Production was top-notch. Too bad I had to work or I would have driven to Cologne to experience it all live.

ESL actually made MLG look like a bunch of amateurs.

Also, Mr. Redeye, you are by far the best host of any Starcraft 2 tournament. Keep up the great work!

You set the bar so high that there will be quite some months before another event even comes close to what the WCS2 finals brought.

It was a great event with good production(first time no twitch lags in 3 days), good casting and very little downtime. I don´t think that a convention like Gamescon is the best location for such a tournament because of the things that were mentioned like a bit of a "boring" crowd and the lack of space/seats (convention equipment is insanely expensive and i don´t even imagine the price of a square meter at GC).

There was one thing that really bothered me: Team exposition.
I don´t know if this is a thing that Blizzard restricts or if the "fault" is by the ESL but if the players would have worn normal outfits a casual viewer would have thought that they are all teamless. The only time the Teams are mentioned are at the start of the game by the casters and even they didn´t do it regularly.
Why was it "Teaja wins!" and not "LiquidTeaja wins!" on the big screen. They had this stairway thing, why not bring some "team flags" and hang them up on the side of the boxes.
Why not promote the sponsors that make this possible by financing the teams with some screen time at the beginning, like at the start were the name was overlaid put the team and their main sponsors at that.

It was a great show!

There were a few issues as expected, but I still thought the production was fantastic and obviously the games were amazing.

The only thing i didn't like about this event, is that i could not go there

Loved the match.

Did you do a typo ? Naniwa vs Bomber ? He was stopped by Jaedong

You both (also Chobra) are amazing Commentators. Chobras style of Interviewing Koreans is so fluent and natural that i was was looking forward to every interview he was doing. Your British way of presenting stuff you nice and kind of naive Questions to the player are also very Entertaining and made you very likable.

As mentioned in many threads, people seems to think that the audience wasn't cheerful and excited! THAT'S NOT TRUE!!!! I was there and the audience was cheering and applauding to every nice move on the Battlefield and to all Players who went down the stairs. Some people want realize that in a Venue like that there is only so much you can do to cancel the background Noise. So installing Microphones in direction of the audience without recording all the fuzzy background noise all the time is impossible or at least not as easy as you may think! Only because no one was screaming USA USA or MURICA FUCK YEAH it wasn't a bad audience! Well it might be true that the German audience is a bit shy but please stop bitching about that.

Small Critic: Not enough seats! Well i understand that no one knows how many fans will be there ( i was on IEM Hannover - disaster) but maybe installing some small Monitors at the outside of the arena would have been nice. Was waiting for 2 hours outside sadly, but i din't had any problems with the guys securing the entrance. They could only do so much!

Thanks again and i hope we will see you and chobra for many more events!

Size of this event seemed really small. Iron Squid 2 had something like 3.5K places and i don't think there was any empty places. So WCS could do really better i think.

But You did a good job. As always. You should do more questions like the superhero and island thing. It was so fun :p
