EPTDates of the VODS especially.
I would also like to see some way of reducing spoilers. I'm sure there are complicated ways of hiding the number of parts to a video, or to the number of games, but probably not worth it.

Even though it is the standard, I am a little tired of the round robin tournament style. Maybe there should be groups, and each player playing each other and then top 2 of every group move ahead into the semi finals (or leading into more groups etc). Or maybe some more creative styles. I would also like to see race picking as opposed to completely random. For example TLO could chose his race or chose to be random. I doubt any pro would mind that because they are probably confident in their own game style and should be ready to play anyone with any race. So picking race will make things interesting for both the players and the viewers. | ||

We're always looking to improve, so all constructive criticism is always read and welcome. IMO you guys should organize the schedule of the whole tournament in advance, and post it to the public. At least when the live streams are going to be held. I think that shows a lot of commitment from your part as well as professionalism. The tournament is awesome by the way HD, thx for the hard work. | ||

Would really like to see future tournaments take less time to be completed. Taking this many weeks to finish one tournament is a bit much. Other than that, I really enjoy the games and the commentary. Keep up the good work. | ||

I would also like the tournament to not drag on so long but perhaps that's not possible. | ||

My reason for this largely stems from game 3 of TLO vs. White-ra, in which many of the mid/late game battles involved a lot of cluttered zealot on zealot/stalker battles that looked like an unrecognizable clutter of health bars to a stream observer.For the record, I only take constructive feedback from people who are not sarcastic passive aggressive self-centered trolls. I think the health bar information is incredibly valuable, especially early game, but an in-game observer is under significantly less mechanical pressure compared to a player and would hopefully be able to hold down alt at various times? I guess holding down alt to remove health bars during big battles would work too, but either way I think it's an important thing to consider for whoever is recording the game. | ||

Would really like to see future tournaments take less time to be completed. Taking this many weeks to finish one tournament is a bit much. I kind of agree, although with people's real lives, it might be hard to set aside 2 days straight of casting/playing. I've no idea whether irip is paying HD and Husky anything or just supplying the prize pool. It would be cool in the future to have an Olympics-like coverage of the first day/prelims where HD and Husky cast maybe one match, then go over all the highlights from the other matches so you can get them over with in one day. Then on day 2 for semi/final/3rd place, have live casting of all the games. Hopefully something can be worked out with the other prominent casters out there so that even the prelims could be casted on multiple streams, with HDH as the host being the "lead" stream. Thinking about it makes me want a SC2 cable channel.... lol Also, when this gets more involved, I would love to see a style of tournament where teams are involved for a team championship as well as an individual, like the NCAA wrestling tournament. You get points for your team for winning, more points for winning in the winners bracket, and points for placing 1-8. Then you can go into making a gold division as well, although points in gold would be less than the platinum bracket. Things like that make tournaments a little more interesting as you have the team aspect as well. Then you can have all the intrigue that comes with bracketology, and seeding by committee, which is half the fun of March Madness. I understand that for a first tournament, invitation only and mandated pairings for the round of 16 were necessary, but i hope in the future it gets more involved than that. Great job guys, looking forward to the finals. | ||
