It's a small but faithful minority that really enjoys game reports I think. We've made a conscious move away from doing straight game recaps, but it's something to consider in upcoming weeks as tourneys end and we go into a "winter break" of sorts.
AdministratorHey HP can you redo everything youve ever done because i have a small complaint?

Nice Read, and your right Dreamhack for me was the greatest tournement of the year, MLG had the best games, but as a viewer watching a FREE 1080p of such high quality production and in a stadium was the top of 2011. The finals where also just incredible.

Also Sen deserves a win, the poor guy always plays stellar. When you have seen him in Blizzcon you know it's only a matter of time. Who knows maybe NASL but he's serieusly going to be Jetlaged, rooting for him and HerO !

Couldn't disagree more with your players who impressed most, except for Sen but that's, in a foreigner tournament, like saying MVP impresses in GSL. I could elaborate, but I like Nightend (not that the criticism would be focused on just him) and don't really feel like engaging in player bashing. So basically this comment is worthless but I still felt compelled to state it.

Wow, could you see the marine armour on stream? If yes then I've missed it and seeing these pictures makes me think even better about Dreamhack, good job

Have to agree about to sens decision making, he even said it himself in an interview after the games v Hero that he mentally lapsed, as silly as it sounds if he had just made the standard right decisions with the play he demonstrated he would not have lost those games

With the exception of a laggy stream at times I agree with you. Maybe it's because it's the last thing you remember but the final of dreamhack tipped the scale into dreamhacks favor for me. I have no doubt MLG will respond in kind though, and they are probably the most improved tournament throught the year if you go from dallas to providence. And I like the quad view.

You are correct, some lag and black screens from time to time, but weather this was all Dreamhack or TwitchTV i have no idea also considering the stream was free with such high production and care and at 1080p i did not feel it was something i should really complain about. They worked there ass of on that production and i am thankfull of all the stages and the halls the simple things like the Couch the podium the way players entered, i don't know man it all felt a blast to watch.

I agree with you MLG Improved like no other, and they will keep improving, 2012 will be a good year

well this was a rather boring and empty review post on a major tournament... =/

half of it was talking about dreamhack production, which is like filler, one third was about players who impressed (pretty cool) and one third was a photo gallery

what about anything else? no talking about the nail biting 4-3 finals? the three EG players in one group? the 2 outta the top 4 being liquid? Seiplo PvPing his way through most of the tourney, including HuK? the player co-casters?

very...sparse review anyone else noticing the photo galleries on the bottom of each article these days seem to be replacing writing?

Quoting for truth.

I really hope Wax would release part 2 soon. Cause this article felt so short even if we compare it to the last MLG article...
Or maybe due to the MLG article the TL resident censor have castrated the DH article too much?

Dreamhack was amazing indeed.
I've been to every single DH for the past 3 years now and this is my favorite one by far.
I didn't even feel like I should sleep during the nights. You just wanted to go back and experience everything.
Over and over again.

Each day had a new surprise of epic matches, friendly players and casters.

Big thanks to all the players who had good sports against us fans. Taking images with us and so on.
For you guys we would gladly sit 6 hours in a ICE-COLD arena getting a freaking cold.

Thank you guys! ♥ <3

Dreamhack Winter 2011 was a great event, but an even greater taste of things to come - as one of the Swedish casters for national television it was an epic privilege to be there in the thick of it, seeing and delivering esports to legions of online viewers. 2012 will be the year when we make the masses embrace what we have known and loved in seclusion for so many years. It will be tantalizing.

to be fair, it may partially due to the fact that so MANY big tournaments are going on in such rapid succession NASL starts in one day and they still need to do a preview for that too (not looking likely at this point in time)

another worthwhile note is that most of the TL writers attend a university and finals are taking place or soon to be.

However, when you do such excellent work (usually) people start to expect and demand excellence all the time. something tells me that getting help for quality writing isnt that hard to come by for TL, lets shape it up after this one guys

are you trolling me? i honestly cant tell....

I thought the point of a tournament wrap-up was to review the tournament and highlight interesting events, you gave a production blog that i'm willing to bet few people really care about, a semi ok piece, and another photo gallery to put with the other 4 or 5 we have already seen.

Yeah, I'd say at least a couple of the things I mentioned(and many i forgot) are worth hearing about.
