Why risk poor crowds traveling around when you can have an awesome crowd every time in Anaheim? People are trying to compare apples to oranges and forget the MLG is a traveling thing and always deals with a different venue, a way different type of tournament, and a way different business model.
Agreed. However, I do want to emphasize that I feel MLG should be stationary in SoCal. I'm not being biased here as I don't live in Socal. But the crowd in Anaheim/LA is just unmatched in SC2 and they always pack the venues. I don't understand the point of the traveling thing, it doesn't do much for the business IMO.

Fantastic tournament.
One of the best of the year.
Would have been wonderful to have a few more top tier Koreans there, but despite their few numbers they still showcase their superior game play.
4 Koreans in finals bracket, 0 lose to foreigners.

They definitely peaced out at Anaheim (the one with MVP winning) that one sticks out in my mind the most. I think MLG needs to do the ceremony right away after the win and not wait like 10 minutes to start it.

Guys stop hating on MLG, theyre doing as awesome as DH ! No they are not, and if they accept that and make room for improvement (which I see they are), it can be beneficial for them.
Last MLG was on par with this dreamhack. They can learn from each other in the areas where the other are better at.

congrats to hero! i was really impressed with his play at MLG, so im glad to see has something to show for his mad skillz

Great games!
Although that ending was still a bit on the awkward side.
They should have added some music when they were holding the prizes, because the way it was they were just standing there with a somewhat silent crowd, asking themselves "so...can i go now or do i just keep holding this?".
Other than that the tournament was amazing! :D
It's for taking pictures usually you can see a ton of flashes but it was harder to see this time, it's for the press etc.

If we cannot beat them we BUY them The Yankees of SC2? lol ;O Good thing for Team Liquid, a lot (I won't say all) of the members are like family. I don't see a lot of them moving over no matter how much money you throw at them. People thought that of HuK...
That's why I said not all. ;o

Do you guys not realize that MLG ends on late Sunday evening? Most people travel to get there and have flights and other things to deal with, which is why they don't stay for the ceremony. I went to Orlando, and unfortunately had to leave right as the finals were starting. Well maybe another thing to consider MLG, that sunday people have to prepare for monday. Europe misses lots of finals because they have to go to bed to go to work the other day.
Sunday night thing is no excuse for the crowd leaving early. Anaheim and Columbus MLG didn't leave early (from what I could tell). It's location location location that matters here.

How is it not an excuse? Have you ever gone to an event where you had to travel and had obligations?

The last day and the tension in finals made up for it, but day 1 especially was quite weak due to the format; every group has 2 weaker players so we get at most one decent match per group and for some reason even good players weren't playing well, koreans aside basically. I also quite dislike how players aren't shown at all until the finals.
