If you ignore everything but the Starcraft 2 parts of MLG and DH, then yes, MLG isn't that far behind but overall, DH is huge. | ||

How many events does DH host a year compared to MLG? and totaly prize money? And there's still the fact that MLG is a league and DH is just one or two huge LANS. See that's why I said questionable. | ||

Dreamhack: Streams (Better quality and more) Tournament format (more fair and can you say no extended series!) Coverage (Didn't have to miss a single game) Timezone (I am from Sweden so it was much easier for me to watch) Huk MLG: Casters (Dreamhack had more but MLG had Tasotsis) Schedule (streaming was more consistent) Mainstage (only final game of Dreamhack showed player reactions when they won) Sc2 focus MC Antics | ||

(also it may be a luxory-problem, but i found 2 mlg-streams (red'n blue) better to handle, than switching between 5 streams to find the game that i find most interesting. | ||

U must have 56k modem or something, the main stream and TB stream had no downtime for me. And about number 5 in your previous post, if you were watching the MLG C event there was alot of times the streams showed the same games. I have no clue why ur acting so defenive, both were great events. | ||

On the MLG part yea i got that wrong, forgot the casters had breaks so they fused the streams. | ||

+ It was at a better timezone for me, I did not have to ruin my whole sleep schedule. + Every! game was casted, I did not have to miss any of my favorite players. + MC Casting + Way better games, Dreamhack produced some amazing games. + Bigger talent pool. + Moon showed how good he is. + Relaxed atmosphere. + I also like to watch Quake, LoL etc. Halo and CoD are not interesting to watch. - You didn't see the players. - Justin.tv, I seriously don't get this. The majority of the people who watched Dreamhack were probably Europeans (Because of the timezones) and Justin.tv is still really bad in Europe. - No Tastosis. | ||

Dreamhack pros: + more casters (day[9] of course but really enjoyed TotalBiscuit + TLO, even oGs.MC !) + better stream quality/stability + my timezone (ok it's a bad one, but still) + many players from europe that weren't in mlg Dreamhack cons: - website was very messy, finding schedules and streams from the website was not clear - No post game interviews except for the finals - Uneven quality of streams (day9tv was cool, totalBiscuit cast was nice but no other cam than the SC2 game, didn't quite like the others as much) - players not on the main stage, without cams (=> less drama) - stream idle times, also last rounds on a monday (at least finals were in the evening so working people could watch) - justin.tv ads everytime you launched a stream | ||

Dreamhack did a few misstakes, the biggest one was no player + audience interaction. | ||
