Also, get rid of extended series. There gots to be a way to give the winner of a previous match some advantage without giving them a huge 2-0 lead in following matchups. having to win 4/5 is not realistic. And there were some small lag issues and to many commercials at some points, but, on the whole, it was AWESOME! | ||

Commercials on streams was very annoying, volume went up 300%, and there was a commercial everytime you switched stream or went from Low quality to high. And you couldent turn down or mute the volume of the commercials. Some lag on streams, i have great internet but still it stopped to buffer quite often =( HQ isnt HQ at all... Even with free HQ streams the quality is pretty bad compared to other streams =/ Overall the event was great tho! Shouldent complain realy... Well done MLG. | ||

No ads when switching quality (if you swiched in the middle of a match, you loose like 30sec(?) of that match..) I (and my friends) had a lot of trouble keeping track to what stream was actually LIVE. We switched streams if there was some players we rather would want to watch. It was VERY difficult to keep track what players that was going to play next, here the different streams made it messy because if we watched RED, we had no idea who was going to play on BLUE etc.. (maybe there was a rooster or something up but we didn't find any and we just wanted to watch the stream). But, last but not least, it was very entertaining and enjoyable! Thanks for streaming it and streaming it HQ! | ||

-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. | ||

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!!!! | ||

- 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 :-) | ||

It wasn't perfect, the stream failed a few times. They did not show Thorzain vs. MC and they still use the extended series rule. But it was without a doubt one of the best SC2 Tournaments i have seen so far. Can't wait for the next MLG. | ||

I'm proud of my team and the work that was done this weekend but we're not satisfied. We will continue to improve. We will continue to work towards our vision and will work to make MLG all that it can and should be. We're just getting started. Clearly even Sundance thinks there is room for improvement. I'm quite sure you could figure it out on your own. Streams were 100 times better than Dallas but still had a little choppiness here and there. | ||

Also, even though I understand that taunts and grudges between players have great entertainment potential, MLG (and GSL for that matter) should implement some sort of fair play and respect regulations. If e-Sports is to grow up to be a respectable and legitimate cultural activity, values like that should be a must. In my eyes, manner MULEs or CC/Nexus/Hatch, pre-match taunts and after-match exuberant celebrations don't contribute to the image of e-Sports arround the world. Anyway, there were some stream hickups and lack of chairs in the event, so there's definitely room for improvement. | ||

Production. The fact that there was so much down-time between matches suggests something is lacking in the efficiency department. A large variety of options exists: -Employ a caster ability to tune into the games of other matches during in-between time, even if not to commentate. Have a banner at the top of the screen indicating it's an "in between matches" screening and that it could switch at any moment. -Add interesting graphics akin to those that appear during ESPN broadcasts during downtime, perhaps with the inclusion of the casters' voices (again similar to say a futbol or football game on TV) -Have a cameraman walking through the crowd that the main stream can switch to at any moment - combined with headset communication and coordination, casters could stream questions to the audience via this field-cameraman in the crowd and get closeups of the people answering in the audience. I see a lot of potential here for interesting/fun shenanigans. Basically, with a little creative thought, a great variety of possible improvements exists. We'll see at the next MLG. p.s. also there could be more seats at the next MLG, according to people that were there live | ||

Stream aside, the casting and the quality of competition were excellent; I like the format (extended series are OK I guess, but double elimination is great at ensuring the best players rise to the top), and my other complaints are mostly with certain players basically throwing away games, not with the tournament itself. | ||

I guess the weather breaking the stream wasn't MLG's fault, so we'll have to see if Anaheim can provide a more stable and enjoyable viewing experience -- chances are, the weather in sunny SoCal will not provide an obstacle.

With regard to stream quality, I think the majority of the annoyances were due to issues on your end. I only experienced a single hour during which the streams were choppy due to weather issues - other than that I was able to view in HQ at a perfectly consistent rate. | ||

Nobody likes to call anything perfect, but as far as live events and streamed live events go, I think expecting much more than this (At least as an online-viewer) is asking a bit much. Minor complaints about the streams being shuffled around at times, and it kinda sucked for the downtimes that still existed, but they were so much less frequent, I think people complaining about watching the crowd for 5-10 minutes are forgetting waiting for B.net for 3-4 hours for the finals, or casters having to fill several minutes between each match because there wasn't another match they could jump in on mid-way. Bringing the Koreans over seemed odd if you listen to SotG, there were a lot of valid concerns, but I think it really mixed it up in a good way. I loved IdrA this event? Wait... what did I just say? He showed us an outstanding new side in terms of SC2 play in the opening matches against MC, and totally played up the rivalry/confidence right before the finals - made for a lot of sweet .gifs and videos for youtube I'm sure. Some of the stream connectivity issues could be better... but not much can always be done about that. Also it sounds like they need more chairs? If those are the only complaints you can make of a live event, I'd call it perfect. If MLG improved some things, I'd love it, but I think expecting more than this as a baseline is hard, the Starcraft community is awesome, but woefully cynical, and I think it is important to keep that in mind in these threads. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + I am off course just jocking about the casters! By far the best casting team ever assembled for a tournament! Tastosis+DjWheat+Day9=total awesomeness! Other than that it was by far the best SC2 tournament to date and the closest to a real GLOBAL StarLeague. NASL is the only other competition which comes close to MLG being a real GLOBAL StarLeague. | ||

Here are some things that went well. -Easy entrance into the event. I brought my backpack with snacks each day without any hassle. -Great sponsor in Dr. Pepper. I enjoyed the free drinks throughout the event. -The main stage alternated casters at a good rate. -Exciting match-ups! Here are some suggestions for the next event. -More chairs! Due to the crowd at Columbus MLG will hopefully plan for more space. At the finals all three main stage areas showing the games were packed. -Move the booths so they don't block the screen. The left booth blocked the minimap if you were not at the right angle. -Another viewing area for the second stream, perhaps another main stage. -It would have been great to see the casters pop their heads out to say hello every once in awhile. -Plan ahead for upcoming matches. They did a good job but we missed a great best of 7 starting by only a few minutes. We then waited for over an hour without anything except replays cast on the main screen. | ||

The commercials messed my viewing as well i mean it was like 3 in the morning and i couldn`t reduce sound so it was like super loud for 1 minute until i managed to shut of power for my speakers ^^ next time better adjust sound settings in windows not in the MLG player... dont get me wrong i love that commercials seem to be a factor in E-SPORT.

The event seems to mirror the skill level overall in sc2 progaming. Its getting better. Much to improve. I would say the worst thing isnt the event fault, its blizzard. Would the ingame lag be prevented by lan settings and not being connected to b-net? I mean, if it is a grand final and there is lag..... WTF blizzard/activision. Make it happen. NOW | ||

It was amazing to see how huge of a crowd sc2 drew. I had to go on numerous chair-stealing missions because there were about 30% less chairs than there needed to be. The energy was incredible, seeing all the professionals live was almost surreal. It was clearly the main event of MLG. Starcraft 2 had more fans than halo and call of duty combined. Suggestions for improvement in future events: 1.) spawn moar chairs 2.) Perhaps have a stream of each players screen on either side of the main observer screen so we can see the game from their point of view. This would greatly improve the enjoyment of viewership. Not only can we see the game from the casters point of view, we can actually see them macro. | ||

the final games were impissible to watch if you're european and working on monday. the stream had weird bugs. it would buffer for some seconds, then repeat the last 20 seconds and when it reached the point of buffering again catch up to realtime. that means I missed 20seconds every 5minutes or so. everything else seemed very nice, and there were good matches too. | ||

vs Shit format - well documented extended series problems and quarter/semi/finals are just way too short. Low quality takes up too much bandwidth - it's not better quality than 240p but I can watch 240p without hiccups, fix bandwidth amount or give super low quality option Scheduling is still an issue - too much deadtime/bad choice of games to show. I know it's not easy but it still sucks! Overall I gave a not bad. | ||

Columbus was miles better than Dallas, and I voted super awesome since there's still stuff to improve, but definately a very solid production this time around. Keep on improving, MLG! | ||

I wouldn't mind shit like that too much if MLG's VOD system was in any shape way or form competent but it's worse than Blip's new format, which is saying something. I voted 'Dallas Repeat', even though I had less problems while watching that MLG. | ||

1.) MORE CHAIRS. Hell, for the finals they played sc2 on the Halo and CoD stages (which had already finished) and even those chairs all filled up as well (and I believe there were still people that had to stand. I could be mistaken on that part though) 2.) Lag issues. While I understand MLG can only do so much since Blizzard is being stubborn about releasing LAN (Sundance should really start pressuring Blizzard about it). The amount of lag was definitely unacceptable. Overall, it didn't really harm the event too much though (but it definitely knocked it down a few notches from being "Perfect") 3.) Downtime. While I understand there's a lot going on behind the scenes, they should really work on making sure there's no more than 5-10 minutes of downtime between each series (Maybe one 30 minute long break to allow casters to grab food and relax) 4.) Commentating. The commentators need to be on the main stage. It was very disappointing that they had an "interviewing couch" on the main stage where they could have easily put the casters. It's much better for the crowd when they can see the casters in person. Conversely, casters feed off the energy of the crowd a lot more when they're right there in front of them. As an aside, I think it would be really neat if they had a screen on the main stage for each player that showed the game from their first person point of view. While not really necessary, I think it would have been a really cool addition. Either way, despite all these issues, MLG Columbus was by far the best MLG and being part of the crowd and the energy was amazing. Four years ago I would have never thought I would see July in person, let alone be around thousands of starcraft fans who were all erupting in cheers whenever there was action going on. MLG Columbus far exceeded my expectations and I will definitely be going again next year. | ||

I hope they keep this bar rising for future MLGs and they will receive the support of the SC2 community for sure. | ||

Especially the extended series rule need some tweaking (well actually just remove it). i like it and think it was also a HELP for the other player like MC, cause it was not able for idra to play his 2 best maps again this longer series makes you play more maps and not this "i cant beat z on this map i have no chance to beat this guy" style anymore i just LOVE extend series ^^ but the final should be bo5 xD | ||

Things to improve upon: Remove extended series. It might work for Halo but it is a stupid system to use in SC2 More chairs! The SC2 crowd is huge and will only get bigger. Increase the in-game quality. | ||

Only 1 minor thing i didn't like, extended series, but that was a really really small spanner in the works of an amazingly well-run event. Oh and i barely got an ad all weekend, maybe it's because I'm not from the US idk | ||

1) Commercials - I know they are needed, but having planned breaks for them in between matches, rather than just anytime a stream was loaded, would make them much nice to sit through. Also volume control so its not super loud compared to the stream itself. 2) Lag- Not sure if this is my connection or an issue with MLG. Stream would constantly jump back 15-20 seconds or pause and have to reload for a couple seconds. Not really too annoying except when it was right as some big push or drop was about to happen. Issues from weather sucked, but no real way to avoid that. 3) Extended Series- I really dislike this format. If the players/tournament coordinators like it though it works. It just seems like something MLG is doing to be gimmicky and different than other tournaments. Just my 2 cents, and glad I can look forward to the next one after Dallas had shattered my faith in MLGs (and had me expecting this one to suck too). | ||

The only issues i had was with some of the lag ans stream skipping. It almost was like they woild rewind the stream a little bit and then start to play it again. I dont know what that was about but it was manageable. there also were times when i couldnt watch the HQ stream because it kept going to the mlg sign like it was 'loading' or buffering or something. BUT other then that i didnt have any problems. GREAT JOB GUYS KEEP IT UP I WISH I COULD HAVE GONE BUT I HAD MY BROS GRADUATION  ( SC2 is more important then his graduation.. to me at least! | ||
