- Why weren't the stream links on top of the list? - Bad names, "ESL.tv Event"... what event? - Chat needed mods and slow mode - Mr.Bitter and Rotterdam are awful casters, they need to stop being biased and not talk about stuff nobody cares about (e.g. what strategies they like most and then repeat it 50 times during one game and laugh at reaper expand being so good over and over again) - Was there even a crowd? We never got to see the crowd in action, I only heard them once or twice, a crowd is necessary for nerd chills ... there's more but i'm tired im not here to rage i just wanted to help out because im sure A LOT of people think the same | ||

IEM Kiev one of the worst run tournaments in awhile. player complaints, Zenio "map suck", no HD feed for replay on my iPad, no crowd action, interviewing the loser in a series, etc. Mr. Bitter always does a great job though..my fav caster | ||

This tournament just made me remember how good MLG, Dreamhack, IPL etc really is. IEM Kiev almost felt like an unimportant ladder game compared to above tournaments. You can do better than this! | ||

The casting was really great | ||

The casting was really great yeah RotterdaM (especially RotterdaM  ) and MrBitter are great. Only complaint i have about them though is that they should start focusing more on the casting and stop blabbering so much about random stuff . Ofcourse it's fun if they talk about random stuff now and then but aslong as they don't do it too often.And the blalalalalalalalalalala about one player over and over and over and over again get's tiresome. We get that you like Kas, Dimaga and HappyZerg. But talking about it all the time takes focus away from the actual game and casting and it's really a bit biased to some extent. We get it they are good players and nice guys and HappyZerg "can lift a car" or whatever XD. You can talk about that on your free time guys :D The jokes are appreciated and everything but don't salt and pepper too much... keep it evenly seasoned! | ||

Yeah after HSC4 compared to this level of production it looked silly, but for me its not that important, I enjoyed games a lot especially Zenio-Kas series, best series of the year for now (1. Its Korean code S class vs top EU terran 2. Its TvZ 3. Did I mention its foreigner vs korean? :D). But tbh I feel that IEM tournaments dont fell like important ones for some reasons | ||

If we will have IEM [Insert poorer country] then most likely production/spectator base would be lower. Hopefully more people in Ukraine will get more interested in SC2 then I just want you to know im not bashing on your country in any way. It's great that you have a tournament like this in Ukraine.I don't know if it's so much about poorer country maybe more that as you said cs is what most people play in Ukraine? Maybe now with this tournament more Ukrainians will open their eyes for Starcraft 2. In my case i got interested in Starcraft 2 when Dreamhack Invitational Stockholm started. I watched the whole tournament and i fell in love with Starcraft 2 and the community So hopefully if there's a new tournament in Ukraine people will be more cheerful then . Afterall Dimaga and Kas did well there so there should already be some new Ukrainian SC2 fans born. | ||
