One choice is missing : "all of the above".
Voted "Graphics and art" because I think they were way above all the other competitions'.
But honeslty, everything was great. The breathtaking final was a perfect closer for this first edition.

1.) Commentators and Obs - Without you guys TSL would have sucked, not many people can cast like you guys do.
2.) Overlay and Stream quality, no buffering and the overlays looked like they could be on MBC or OGN.
3.) EVERYTHING ELSE

Prizes and Sponsors. Makes it feel really really official, I like that.
Day[9] stepping up to the commentating plate was way awesome too though.

Wish there was a different way to enter though besides power gaming on ICCup for weeks. Don't have time for that...

Hmm... games first, commentators second. Everything else is important, but periphery.

Didn't vote, there wasn't an everything option.

You might as well have said "what's the most important part of a tourney," because you pretty much nailed it all; no joke. I picked game quality. The final was just INSANE. Secondly, I guess I'd have to say the commentary and observer. The obs might want to take a few more looks on the mini-map from time to time, some details are lost from time to time. Still over all a very good job. The commentaries are world class, what can I say?

its not fair for the graphics team to be at the bottom of the poll right now. they did an amazing job

I loved everything about the TSL (especially graphics), but this really wouldn't have been possible without the superb organization and execution made by the team as a whole. Great event. I had a blast watching.

The organization, the casts, the commentary etc. we're all done really well, but every tournament will eventually be remembered by the games and the winners, so I voted game quality and competition (Brat, Dreiven vs Mondragon and ofcourse the amazing final).

The impressive level of competition and games made TSL what it was. Of course, I loved every other part of it as well: commentary, graphics, coverage, organization, stream, etc. But I mean without those amazing players who were motivated to win it, it wouldn't have been the same. I loved seeing old-schoolers like Leg/Naz/Ret participate in it. And countless other top foreigners took part in it.

organization and coverage!

The commentating was ok I guess, but it wasn't very synced with what the camera showed.
A lot of the time viewers spotted say a reaver taking out 5-7 workers and the commentators flat out missed it.

Not saying I could have done a better job myself though!

Voted Orga and Coverage.

Though Mr. Probe fixing the start in TSL has a special place in my heart.

Most of the game qualities were totally awesome. Pretty realistic competition.

Everything was so good. But I have to say what was absolutely stunning and surprised me was the features on the live feed, like the pro-looking lay-out, the resource counters, ... I already knew the rest (like commentary) was gonna be great. Also the cut-scenes, wallpapers and intro's were schweeeet. :o
