It is a little bit disingenuous to compare just the finals of one event to the entirety of two other events. The poll would probably look much more lopsided if it was simply NASL vs MLG vs Dreamhack.

MLG Colombus. I'll never forget that MMA chant and his reaction, plus the unexpected huge gain in quality, and of course the 2 streams.

weird to see so many people voting for NASL.

imho they just got lucky, that they had awesome games in the final, which can't be attributed to the organizers, but apart from that, the production was incredibad, seriously:
- Massive delay at start
- 1 hour+ breaks between each BO3?
- awkward interviews
- sound problems all weekend,
- switching on Day9's mic like 20 times when he wasn't on stage
- 10 Minute intros for each player in almost every round
- Single elimination (Hey Ret, how about you fly over to the US and play 2 games ?)

In comparison, DH and MLG Columbus were such awesome events. Can't wait for the next ones.

Not saying NASL was really bad, but I honestly believe that it was not on par with the other 2. I think most of the votes for NASL are present just because of the hype that hasn't dried off yet.

Quality overall i have to say dreamhack, but i enjoyed watching homestorycup the most, it was just too funny and the games were so good (btw my fav one was huk vs stephano in winners bracket)
Even the music was great the whole time... lol

From a spectators point of view, i liked MLG the most. Constant influx of great games with good casting and very nice presentation. Dreamhack was also great and just a bit behind MLG. The games at NASL were really fun to watch and the casters were awesome, but there was too much waiting involved and there were a lot of issues with the presentation.

Overall it's all REALLY close. I loved all three events and i think it's awesome that we get this kind of entertainment

edit: oh, and the homestorycup really was the coolest event of all. Really loved the whole chilled atmosphere and the pros casting

All these events were really awesome. But, I'd say I'm torn between MLG and DH.

Dreamhack was best event ever was, but i like mlg format with 2nd chance loosers bracket.

NASL finals were fine too Incontrol and Gretorp did awesome job at final match, but i didnt like hiring blonde chick for filling time, waste.

I enjoyed the overall product of MLG columbus the most. Something of the MC/Idra day 1 drama into the epic 4-0 on Sunday made it the most compelling to watch. NASL had a great finish but I cant discount the continued issues experienced with the production.

NASL was a bad production all together. They were the only one of those three that didn't stream in HD for free. On top of that their stream were laggy and choppy all the time.

Dreamhack and MLG were pretty equal to me, both really awesome, but I'm swedish so I'll have to say Dreamhack

All three took place over one weekend. If you include NASL's regular season, then it becomes a very weird comparison. NASL's 16 person single elimination bracket certainly has a lot less games than MLG and DH formats, but that was NASL's choice.

Lan events do not compare to TSL3, they are very different.

NASL, only because I'm excited for it to finally be over.
Zing.

How could anyone actually pick NASL?

Did you not watch the stream??

Frankly NASL was the worst out of these by far. MLG and DreamHack were both close, but DreamHack was just a better event.
