Nice to hear player pov about these things, thought I heard something about arm rests and dac but didn't realise it was such a big deal. I can picture all weird hardware configurations/issues being quite distracting and frustrating for pro-players.

That actually sounds sort of hilarious.

Then there ended up being even more delays because HGT didn't know they were suppose to be put on sound cancelling headsets for some reason. The booths weren't well made so things could still be heard. Big God didn't put on their sound cancelling head sets properly and for some reason the admins didn't notice or care.


Uh oh. What's done is done though.

This is pretty much an echo of what Funn1k said in his interview right after Na'Vi were knocked out. The points about poor scheduling and shitty practice areas in particular seem like something that should never be happening at a tournament of this scale..

in china disorganized things can happen in all scales
there's a long way to go before it'll be organized like German ;p

simpmly put we never had industrial revolution and we hold no respect for procedures, it's a compleely different mindset

Awesome to know all of this stuff. And it's good that Mali is getting credit, since I don't think anyone who didn't play at DAC would ever find out about him if it wasn't for your blog post.

Stil, I think you should add some sort of "ok, that's all the bad stuff I can think of right now. All in all it was a good tournament though. Shit happens everywhere. Congratz to organizers for the things they did right." It's two lines that turn you from a bitchy asshole into a guy who simply tells the truth, at least in the eyes of those who aren't very good at reading and get wrong impressions very easily.

Wow, kinda sad that administrators don't even know how to play Dota. Did they not even have basic training?

yeah we wouldn't want envy to inadvertently offend anyone, he's usually so political

are you surprised to learn that most of the people with money in eSports know absolutely nothing about the games they sponsor?

i feel like valve should be more hands on with tournaments of this caliber. if they're gonna make like a TI in the east, you should have someone from valve in charge, not some person who is gonna half ass it. some of these things were so simple to not fuck up.

i feel that valve should be more like blizzard.

Well for the planning thing, i don't think you can end up in a way nobody gets fucked. But that aside, that's good to see feedback like that on the tournament we watched. Mali MVP !

Am I the only one finding it noteworthy that this is listed both on the spotlight and community news? Sure the post is very informative, but lacks quality. Like author himself said, it took him 30 minutes, so it could be way better. To make it news-worthy, one might ask opinions of other players at the tournament and gather a collaborative post about DAC.

Regarding Envys experience in China again: smoke at the entrance of the practice area, and thus inside it? Yikes, sounds really aweful. Hopefully this will NOT be a recurring thing.

I like your blogs EE.

You complain about retarded shit like a first time tournement organizer being inexperienced or chinese having a different work ethic. And when you request so much professionalism you should man up and take the discomfort like a pro and not a raging teenager.

this was already pointed out when BG was playing rave in the lower brackets (i think?) but apparently DAC was ok with it

All things considered, I'd say things were handled quite well relative to how you described all the other tournaments.

so that's how Ikea man name calling came from.

Both of them seems like good managers.

That sounds like what they're actually asking for is confirmation that you heard the other team's pick and are expecting the other side to go in your favor so there's no misunderstanding later on.

Thanks for the insight EE. Regardless of what you write, the non-filter contributes to esports in ways you cannot imagine when everyone is more concerned about their reputation rather than making things work.
