DH had an epic conclusion. It was more satisfying to watch HuK play as well as he did than to watch MMA dominate MLG.

The Dreamhack stream quality & stability was so top notch along with some of the best games I've seen so have to go with DH. MLG was quite good but just not at the level that DH was.

I loved the MLG crowd and the player cams on main stage.
The only times we got to see player cams was at the finals.

Things Dreamhack needs to fix in no particular order:

1. Player + audience interaction (you can't cast an entire event without actually showing us any players except in the finals, that's really bad)
2. Semi finals can't be bo3, should be bo5
3. Finals can't be bo5, should be bo7
4. Have a real host (aka 2GD at the invitational)
5. Needs to use Dream Arena Extreme ALOT more (it's perfect, why don't they use it more? When they cast SC2 there, there are actually more people outside who wants to get in than there are people inside watching.)

This.

How is Dreamhack beating MLG? Don't get me wrong, Dreamhack was great, but MLG was better in every aspect except stream quality. If MLG continues to improve at the rate they are improving it will become THE foreign tournament.

I think people are still riding off the excitement of the Huk win (which was awesome btw).


I don't know why some people feel like they need to force their opinions on others. The majority of people obviously don't agree with you that mlg was better in every aspect except for stream quality, yet you speak like your representing the whole comunity.

I thought both were fantastic. Seeing the players on stage with interviews was great for MLG, and the multiple DH streams was cool too. The question is: will either stack to Homestory III?
good luck have batman

I feel differently. They were actually quite a few games in both tourneys that I wanted to see but weren't streamed. Both were great IMO.

MLG was a good deal more enjoyable for me. Many more memorable games and Tastosis.

Dreamhack - Because I didt miss any game that. 5 streams, and evry stream had diffrent players evry hour. A big plus there..

MLG had to many ad breaks, and always the same.. there was ad breaks here to but didt fall asleep.

MLG, probably a biased opinion as I was there and was not at Dreamhack.

I think MLG did a better job with the production. My only complain was the stream quality.
Dreamhack could have had better production with player interviewes. On the other hand Dreamhacks streams were much better and HD were free. So i ended up voting that they were equal.

Dreamhack is ahead of MLG on the technical side - All the games are streamed by many casters on 5 channels with an easily understandable schedule with few problems, excellent field - very well run.

MLG has many tech and scheduling problems to still iron out, but at the end of Dreamhack i felt pleased with a well run tournament and a satisfying winner - At the end of MLG I felt like I'd come off a 3 DAY ****ING EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTER from all the drama, memorable moments, and amazing crowd - I was worn out from the ups and downs.

I was totally emotionally invested in MLG in a way that I was not with Dreamhack. I felt like I was at MLG, but watching Dreamhack on my computer - that sums it up.

So MLG gets the nod.

Ideally MLG will learn how to run a tournament as smoothly as Dreamhack, and Dreamhack will learn how to create the MLG atmosphere through player cams, interviews, more crowd interaction ect ...

Either way they're both great for E-Sports.

Dreamhack felt more like an online tournament or NASL's last months of play as opposed to the epic live atmosphere of MLG.

Sure 5 streams is nice, but who's really gonna be able to watch all 5. Sometimes, I don't mind not having a choice. It's up to the content broadcaster to bring me good games, I don't mind missing less interesting games.

Overall MLG had more energetic crowd, more player/community interactions, no final on Monday, and overall more epicness. Dreamhack is only the more recent event, which is why it has decent votes.
