-Awesome casting (much more continuous, too) -Twice the games -Super drama -Good games overall -Free HQ for the streams Cons: -Laggy/disconnecting streams -No casting mix-up (Day9 + Tasteless, etc.) -Disappointing showing by the foreigners -Lack of "behind the scene" footage (no random player interviews, no roaming about the hallways...) -Why do you still have map presentations, MLG ? | ||

Though it was a total repeat of MLG Dallas in regards to streaming, if not worse. *A lot of technical issues *Constant streams going down *Ads were way too constant, and blaring. | ||

Edit: The map presentation took way too much time. There really shouldn't be such a long map preview. | ||

Most of the things that went wrong were of little to no fault of MLG like the occasional lag, players' keyboards not working, the hail storm, etc. The only thing I wish they would have done is had as many chairs for starcraft as they did for Halo, but even that they fixed as the last two matches (losers bracket final and grand final) were broadcast over all 3 sections (starcraft, Halo, and Call of Duty), resulting in plenty of chairs and space for people to enjoy the event. A little disappointing that Koreans took top 3, but hopefully this will motivate some foreigners to work even harder to maybe do better agains Koreans in the future. I think some foreigners are very close to being able to compete with the Koreans...just a little more refinement and they'll be there! And for those of you complaining about the advertisements, get a life. You obviously don't know how an entertainment business makes any money at all. True, maybe they could mix it up a bit, but the fact compaines think e-sports is even worth supporting is absolutely awesome. Way to go MLG!!!! | ||

I can only comment on the extended series rule. I think it has to be tweaked. | ||

- Commercials, when they would appear (switch streams, see ad, switch to HQ, see ad, a bit too much) and their content (most commercials were targeted 100% at a US audience, perhaps contact some global or european companies as well next time and provide more region-dependent ads) - Downtime between casted matches. Having 2 streams is a great idea, but often both streams would have nothing going on. Schedule the breaks for the casters so that there's always a game being casted. Alternatively, include some games that are just being obs'ed (and not casted) when the casters are on a break. - A more flexible schedule to allow the best matches to be broadcast. Coupled with the previous point, there were points of downtime on both streams when some amazing players were duking it out (MC vs Thorzain for example). Keeping the schedule flexible so these kind of matches can be casted would be great. At the end of sunday they did change up the schedule to do all matches sequentially, which was great. - Backstage footage, player interviews, atmosphere impressions. Other than a few crowd shots and some short interviews by JP, there wasn't much going on when there were no games. Including more content from the convention floor will draw the viewers at home closer to the actual experience of being on the spot. - Some technical issues. Streams lagged every now and then (but it wasn't that bad). The players/casters lagging ingame was more annoying, but that's 100% on Blizzard to resolve (LAN!). - A better weather-control-device. Really, the WCD you used this time sucked :-) | ||

The question is wrong. Its a very general question and is far from wrong. | ||

Other than the technical side I loved it. Seeing Tasteosis was fun too, since they're the best casters IMO. And the drama, oh the drama! | ||

It would been perfect with stable streaming and also a better usage of 2 stream but in general it was so great. The last 4 series was amazing On June 07 2011 00:38 Tedde93 wrote: LoL, i might only be for me but there is 101% in that poll. only because of the average ;o | ||
