MLG was great, but I think that DreamHack has the advantage with the 5 streams and good schedule. Of course it would have been great to have more games on the big stage, but since dreamhack isn't focused on SC2, the stage was often busy.

Also, for those who attended the event, it was great to be able to walk between the Day9 tent and TotalBuscuit stage with no hassle. This could not have been done with the big stage. It was also possible for us to easily be able to talk to the players, or watch them play, at any given time.

All in all, Dreamhack is a lan, and great as such. It also happens to host a really good SC2 tournament just because they can. Obviously the admins want it to be as good as possible, and I think that they did a great job with the limited recourses they had.

Both are excellent events.

Both were really good, but I think I watched more games from Dreamhack that I could study that actually help me out in my gameplay.

MLG because of the atmosphere. Any competition where the audience is more involved gives a better enjoyment in watching.

Both provided some epic games though.

Day9 uploading vods super fast for those of us who couldn't make Monday finals or Euro time was AMAZING. Mad <3's to Day9 for that awesomness.

Being from NA, MLG because I was actually able to stick around for the entire event since it was at our time zone. However, everything about it was also great such as Tastosis + Day9/DJ Wheat/JP and the great storylines that emerged.

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 think that is a fair statement. There where no lag-screens in DH, the quality of players was much higher (by quite some margine), the event itself is just huuuuge and there where little to no hiccups.

That being said, I voted for MLG just for crowd reactions. I agree with the guy 3 posts before me who states that crowd at DH where just clapping while the Americans at MLG where off the hook roaring!

If I gave a shit you'd be the first to get it!

Better games and stream at DH, better crowd/player interaction at MLG.

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.


What? There were 5 english streams and 4 in other languages.

I really liked the "stadium-atmosphere" of MLG and the energy of the audience.

On the other hand, the DH-streams were much better in my opinion.
Firstly, there was never dead air while matches were being played somewhere else, due to the number of streams.
Secondly, the quality of the streams itself was far ahead of MLG's, who seem to have used some kind of softening-filter on the picture to make it look smoother. This may have covered the fact, that the streams weren't broadcasted even close to HD (even with the HQ-option), but in return blurred everything beyond recognition, especially the supply-count in the upper-right corner.

In the end, I enjoyed both events very much. There were plenty of awesome matches and the production was very professional, especially the casting. Will watch MLG Anaheim as well as the next Dreamhack. =)

EDIT: The updates of the standings and match-results were better at MLG. The binarybeast-site Dreamhack used was obviously not prepared for the load of that many visitors and thus crashed regularly.

Definitly MLG, just the athmosphere was so much better (sry, but games in a tent without the players in sight..) Also there were more games, more players, more drama.. just generally more excitement.

Only reason why Dreamhack is winning now imo is 1. because Huk won and 2. because it just ended a few hours ago which still makes you kinda be in that euphoria.


Dude... Let's see commercials and laggy stream + supposedly double stream where the other pair of casters is taking a break while games are going on. Quality of streams was better only I have to agree with the atmosphere which is why I voted for equally great.

One thing about dreamhack is the bo3 in quarter final and semi final which seamed like a pity to me. Group stages were better than MLG IMO.

really hard to say, i loved the red and blue stream idea since it works so well with warpprism. Other than that i really loved both events even though i voted dreamhack. Maybe its just because it wasnt so long ago, so i still feel the awesomeness :D
