1. There wasn't a single zerg at IEM (not their fault). 2. There were A LOT of issues that I remember (like never showing the players and bad stream). 3. Frankly the casting was better at MLG. 4. MLG had a lot of behind the scenes stuff and constantly showed the players and their reactions. It was much more immersive. IEM did one thing better though... they randomly had classical music playing in the background during one of their matches, on Xelnaga I think. | ||

I did like MLG Raleigh better than MLG DC though. MLG's free stream quality was terrible at DC. I hope they work on improving the experience for the players, it's an insult to their skill level. IEM Cologne seemed the most professional of the events. Blizzard does need to add LAN support to SC2 though, there has been some lag issues in every event. | ||

Best overall SC2 events are held in Korea, then in Europe and at last in USA. /ontopic The poll question should be changed to "Best overall SC2 event in USA in last month" or "Which of those two events was better" ? | ||

I still preferred MLG because the presence of IdrA and the larger player pool. MLG can improve a lot of things. Maybe they could spread it over more days. I would really like it if they picked a matchup from each round 2 at a time that they designate as stream matchups, so they could delay the later one until the first one finishes. That way they could show more than one match at a time between those extended commercial breaks. | ||

I think overall the MLG was the 2nd best foreigner Tournament after the IEM in Cologne. GJ keep improving. | ||

Plus, I think he misheard the crowd. I'm fairly certain they were saying "show the game" because the camera kept showing the players instead of what was actually happening for the first minute or 2. | ||

MLG had lots of well renown players and we had the chance to see some creative strategies here and there (eg Kiwi vs Idra game 1 or HuK vs Select game 2). | ||

* Stream Quality = IEM simply because IEM's stream didn't die several times * Excitement of games played = IEM Specially round of 4, there was sooo many matches that could have gone either way. * Pre-matches excitement from just hearing the names who'll play each other = MLG hand down, specially 2nd day. Overall, I'd say IEM was better as an viewer for me, less problems and games were hell interesting and good coverage! | ||

I got goosebumps hearing HUK HUK HUK HUK You should have been there, I STILL get goosebumps thinking about it. (and having started that particular chant) but yes, my vote was for DC, not because I was there but that I felt it was better in every regard (apart from the stream which I cannot attest to since I wasn't watching it on stream.) The casting balance was perfect, with wheat and Sean in the booth, and jp out on the floor. use jp on the floor more, interviewing players and fans.. getting our adn their reactions. I only saw him working the floor twice I think before the final. (though I have to say if you are going to rotate jp and wheat out it seems a little unfair to ask Day9 to cast every game for 2 days and yet jp is the "Face" of sc2 MLG gaming, either call in a reliever for sean , who gets so tired after these events he cancels his daily or really give him the props he deserves with some kind of recognition.) While the spectator area was small for the amount of people, it wasn't cramped per se which was good. you had way more top players and way more diverse play in MLG (there were Gorram Zergs for a start) all round a better event. | ||

Though honestly, nothing so far compares to the GSL. Its like comparing a professional sports league to some amateur beer league. | ||

I think they meant it like such. Out of MLG and IEM, which was the best overall SC2 event. Overall meaning you factor in players involved, quality of games, casters, etc. etc. I do NOT think they meant it like: "Which is the best overall SC2 event PERIOD." So yes, poorly chosen poll name. But not necessarily "wrong" And MLG. By far. lol. | ||
