Don't really like this poll; I don't want to put either event down. One was in europe, one was in the US, neither was really better in my eyes.

Didn't vote, but I had to pick I'd pick MLG though because IEM streams always happened while I was asleep.

I should have been more specific. It had MORE Day9 and less what I would call "filler" casters. Like personally I find HD a bit hard to listen to.

This + player interviews is what made IEM so much better.

I Voted IEM just because the games played there were better. Not because of anything IEL did better then MLG.
When the spirit is not altogether slain, great loss teaches men and women to desire greatly, both for themselves and for others.

I went to MLG, gotta vote for it. Although there were some really entertaining games from IEM, and the finals were definitely more exciting.

IEM: higher game quality (much better players!), more spectators, and, most importantly to me, more screen time for the players. At MLG it seemed like the commentators were the focus of the event!

Both tourneys were really enjoyable though and generally well-run. Good sign for future of SC2 outside of Korea!

I'd say GSL is the event that's 'best for starcraft' since it'll actually get some major play in Korea, with the monumental prize pool.

IEM: Higher caliber players, some epic matches, TaKe's interviews, scantly clad babes , good zerg showing.

MLG: Variety of casters, better crowd / atmosphere, socke vs drewbie, return of the toss and of course the first glimpse of the HuK pillows.

all in all, both were great for SC2 and esports in general.

edit: i forgot day9's troll face.

I believe BiggerT noted that shit would get unreal of BiggestT arrived, so I'm not sure if I agree with you on that one.

Gamescom had the fortune of producing "many nice games." That and there were some things they did better or worse compared to MLG. I don't really feel like listing it all out.

Yep! And HDH1 still. The main reason is probably the timing of the schedules. It's more exciting to have just a couple of matches per day. Then analyze the results deeply, theorize possibilities, make polls for the expectations etc etc. The hype grows and grows and grows. The semi-finals and finals of such events were way more exciting and memorable. IEM and MLG may have had better rosters, better prize pool, better stream quality, live audience, better commentary, even better games - but they are mass events, done very fast, as part of a bigger event machine, and it's not the same.

Between IEM and MLG, I vote IEM>MLG, because the upper/lower bracket system, used in MLG, is a bit annoying, and reduces the clarity of value throughout the event.
However, I suspect MLG has been the most fun for the participants / visitors, who were there. If I was one of the players I would have enjoyed this kind of event probably more.

The day BiggestT comes around, shit will get real indeed. Still awaiting a Chill+Day9 casting combo (like TSL2).
