One of the most unique and interesting tournaments out there. The casual atmostphere is what makes it exeptional, the variety in casteurs is amazing as well makes things really interesting to hear all these peoples thoughts, plus the players that were there made things interesting. Since i only watch games of players I REALLY like since i have to be efficient with my SC2 time.

I think it's a mixture of the atmosphere and the casting. Grubby has chops. The guy should get into casting.

If I could pick all of them I would have. This was a nearly perfect tournament. Only 2 things I can think of would have made it better. 1080p stream, and a rebroadcast for the US time zone.

Also, like... a match results sports ticker across the screen would be awesome! I have yet to see one of these, and I have no idea how hard they are to produce, but it would be sick.

Also, maybe an on screen "The next map streamed is X vs. X" like day9 had at dreamhack

I read it as casual dining at first.
But of course the correct answer is all.

I liked the event but the diverse casting did not really work for me... When i see games i kind of need a caster who can speak english fluently, or who atleast is fair to both players. Hearing the casters almost roast the person playing seems abit unprof to me.. Overall very nice tournament tho, looking forward to the next one!

I went there on Friday and the live fan experience was pretty solid!! Had a chat with Grubby and got several signatures.

Drinking a few beers, watch SCII and see random pro players in the pub.....what else could you want from a tournament (other than it being held in your own appartment/house).

I went with "Production value" because HSC gave us one of the best examples of why SC2 esports is better on the internet than it will ever be on TV.

Nice job.

I just loved this tourney. It was really really good. Can't wait for the next one. Was so different and just a breath of fresh air. Casting was great too and everyone there was a really good player. Casual atmosphere really made it different. Keep it up and i want more!

Casual atmosphere closely followed by the diverse (and insightful/fun) casting!!! Seems like this would be the most popular option if it was on the poll, lol.

This cup is just awesome. The whole oldschool small cellar LAN spirit is so nice. All the Statements of the Players, all the coverage makes you really feel close to the players and the tournament.

Its something unique, you can't campre it with any other event

Having nightend cast was actually awesome, at first i was like ehhhhh; But by the end of the cup, man he's the best caster there, almost EVERYTHING he said about the games was accurate.
