Overall atmosphere - MLG Columbus.

Production quality - Dreamhack.

Game quality - NASL.

The sound / stream issues that plagued the NASL finals set it a tier lower than the other events, so it was basically a toss-up between Cbus and Dreamhack. I think MLG delivered a smashing good performance to make up for Dallas, it really was an excellent tournament all-around, so my vote goes to them.

As an event without a doubt MLG columbus... 2000 rabid fans, mc throat slashing, IdrA flipping off people, MMA killing his own command center. What else is there to ask?

As for the quality of games NASL has always provided epic matchups through the regular season and at the playoffs we saw many EPIC series that came down to a final game, making it so tense to watch.

As for the production value Dreamhack Summer takes this one but I was REALLY annoyed by the fact that they only showed the semi-finals and finals in the studio (correct me if i'm wrong) and during most of the tournament kept the audience in a tent that really was too small for the amount of people assisting. Hopefully Dreamhack Winter expands their studio because they were PACKED and I can only predict that that audience will only grow with the next event.

So with all this said, I gave my vote to MLG Columbus.

Side note: I hope that the event organizers of these tournaments look at this poll and try to make their tournaments even 1000x better.

MLG was awesome but best of 3 all the way through with the exception of Extended series make it so frustrating to watch. The crowd was best at NASL and so were the games. Production at Dreamhack wasn't as good as their invitational so it has to go to NASL which is pretty good for them since they had the least amount of games, but they were all broadcast on the main stage.

NASL only had about 3 or 4 good series, though they were all incredibly entertaining so much so they almost cause the production problems to be overlooked. Almost....

Dreamhack had the best production obviously and no real difficulties in broadcasting. MC casted with Totalbiscuit. There were a lot of good series but not one was quite as good as the ones from the NASL. Huk took one home for the foreigners (though the finals were kinda weak).

MLG was sort of intermediate of the above. Some problems, but a storm is outside their control. Lot of cool moments (such as idra defeating himself...AGAIN). Felt like it got more in touch with the players and tried to follow their stories throughout the tournament. Arguably better games than dreamhack.

I gave it to Dreamhack just because of huk :p.

What a strange time for a vote on it, with people still pumped with adrenaline from the NASL finals. :O
Games were good but organization was way better at DH summer which gets my vote.

A little to early with all the hype, but still MLG all day.

For me the most memorable thing from any live event is the final match. Puma and MC simply delivered incredible nailbiters thus voting NASL. (also as far as final matches are concerned, HSC3 and TSL were more exciting than MLG columbus and DH summer)
Overall, however, all three events were very pleasant to watch.

Dreamhack. MLG comes close second. NASL was unwatchable for me.

nasl finals were cool, but let's be real: there were 9001 hours between games, a lot of the games were kind of anti-climactic, and I wasn't in cali for the nasl finals like I was in columbus

Anaheim WILL win, so this poll is just a formality.

NASL Finals were pretty fucking sweet though.

I gotta be honest, it's kinda unfair when one of these 3 JUST HAPPENED and the awesomeness is fresh in everyone's mind.

MLG Colombus for putting out consistent high quality production, and offering refunds or deals on future events when things go wrong.

Columbus by far in my opinion :D The maps in the first round of Nasl finals was just awful

I gotta say I was very impressed with NASL's fan/player interaction. Absolutely every fan there had a chance to get autographs, take pictures, or just chat it up with all the players and Starcraft celebs. I myself sat next to White-Ra during the first few Ro16 matches, chilled with Morrow in line to get some Nachos, had casual conversations with Gretorp and Ret, took a photo randomly with Puma and July, and even got to have a few words with oGsMC! After every match, players were made available for autograph signings and photo ops. Even though the autograph lines stretched all the way to the front door, the players were happy to stick around and sign everyone's stuff. Very cool!

MLG had the best crowd/ atompshere, matches were okay but the fans made it great.
(Also it was mostly a redemption from their previous one)

Dreamhack had amazing coverrage with so many streams (Mistakes learned from the expense of MLG )

NASL had the best finals (probally one of the game 5 might be one of the best games of SC2 for a long time) bar none, but everything else was meh
