Really wish this tournament was hyped up more. Despite having Day9 and Husky, being run by a premiere GPU company, and having prizes that are on par with the ones for MLG, there wasn't much build-up.

Where's the excitement?

I think the excitement is more with fans of On Demand video and less with the fans of Live Stream video. Which is to be expected as the entire tournament was On Demand

.

Cant wait for the finals! And of course, if you miss any of the action it will all be uploaded shortly after to our respective YouTube channels.

Cant wait for season 2!

Would be nice if the OP was actually updated every now and then.

Husky it's not just the VOD against live imo

It's because it took to long, lots of games weren't played because of forfeits etc.. and the tournament was lost in the mist of so many tournaments.. There are top players there but i constantly tried see results etc and it was all Def wins etc.. when it reach the climax i allready forgot about it!

try and make it quicker and maybe a better site with faster updates and easier access to the VODs

besides that it had great games, great caster and awesome players!

Yeah I've already had talks with the right people about the length. Its not fair to the pros to have to wait so long for their games. In the future the tournament should be much shorter.

I was pretty happy with the Amateur side though. While it still may be reduced in length I think the players enjoyed the setup.

Updates are also something that I have been in talks with them about. Overall the tournament itself went great but there just needs to be some tweeks on the end user side of things

I know a lot of people on the amateur side just didn't show up even if they advanced to the next round because they couldn't dedicate two days a week to play. Also I heard a lot of complaints that the thursday games were the tough ones to do, but the sunday ones were just fine.

I liked how you had a 'mini' season to play in against the people in your division, but perhaps if they played two people per day that might work better, instead of just 1.

Also I agree with the above comment that lots of other major tournaments kinda made this one seem insignificant.

However, the fact that this was probably one of the smoothest ONLINE tournaments, was pretty nice. I LOVED that aspect.
