What the fuck is wrong with German audiences?

It's rather sad how apathetic these guys are, last year in Cologne was exactly the same.
There's little to no interaction with the host, the guys barely show any recognition towards the players and if you're part of the audience, you realize that people barely moving can sweat more than the average metal concert audience.

If there weren't so many Germans, like if Germany were the size of Finland, no E-Sports event would ever happen here.

You know this is gamescom and not an esports event. Most of the people sitting in the audience probably didn't go there because of sc2, but because of other games.


THIS. look at homestory cup and see that german audiences are normal. gamescom is not a SC2 only tournament....


You have to consider that there is a lot of fluctuation in the audience also. Most people stay only for a short amount of time, watch a game or two and then go somewhere else. This makes it really difficult to get the crowd pumped up.

I know this from IEM WC at Cebit. A lot of people just sat down on the chairs to chill from their exhausting walk over the venue and took a moment to eat or something. Definitely not the type of crowd that cheers and screams for the players.

seriously, can we just make ZvP illegal in tournaments? i know i'm a bit biased as a terran player, but goddamn it is this matchup boring lately, and i used to enjoy it.


id be okay with giving up pvz if TvT is never allowed to be played ever

wat

You're okay with the most stale and predictable matchup but you want to get rid of the only one remaining with genuine stylistic variation and viable early, mid, and lategame play?


let me clairify what I mean my typing is bad right now beacuse I haven't slept in 30 something hours. PvZ is boring I feel like TvT tends to be more boring.


The thing is, PvZ is boring because the match up is bad, stupid and totally dependent on the same late game stupid vortex/neural. TvT is just boring for you and some "omg tank marine vs tank marine!1!11" naysayers.


lol Idk I feel like there is more to PvZ than vortex/neural. while i get the rage about people who do the "omg tank marine vs tank marine!1!11" I don't really feel like that was the tone of my post.


That's why i said "you and..."

On lategame there's nothing else than vortex/neural, it's a checkmate situation most part of the time. It's like if every map allowed skyterran we would see a lot of retarded and boring TvZ fungal/HKM.


So you think PvZ being boring is the absolute truth (as a terran) whereas TvT being boring is obviously just people being opinionated 'naysayers'. Really?

I like PvZ, the late game can drag out a bit (much like air vs air or mech vs mech TvT) but other than that it's very fun to watch.


Except, i play zerg. Now stop being biased please. And yes, my favourite matchups are the terran ones, because they allow for more strategies, pokings, etc.. making the match more entertaining for the audience. Getting deathballs are always boring.


luckily pvz isn't only deathball

I've been there the last two days, the main reason might be that it's super annoying to be at that stage...
The LoL stage is like 5m to the left (It's a bit bigger), so you hear the casters of both games permanently at almost the same sound level.You have to listen to the shitty music from 5++ different booths in the back of that stage and it's incredibly hot in there...
I only dropped by several times and the longest I could stay was one BO3 because it was so annoying. This was a lot better when they only had one stage like in the last years. The disadvantage of one stage was, that that they had to mix the different games so we got a lot of downtimes...

To be fair, the crowd is louder on side, I think they can't stream the noise of the crowd because it's so loud around that stage.
If the LoL Crowd goes wild or they play the ESL-party trailer at that stage, you can't even understand the casters (depending on where you sit)

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL, look at the guy in the middle (two persons right from the huge blond dude with the white surf-shirt)!!

He wears a black shirt with a yellow arrow that points to his crotch and it says: "FREE ALCOHOLTEST FOR WOMEN".

Why would you wear such a shirt to an event that is a 99% male nerd sausage fest?! ROFL.

He's also making them wrong and doesn't know anything about over half these players.

We need Apollo for foreign events.

yes, add this to my post aswell Although i mentioned Cebit as a positive example. But moon vs huk was the finals and it took place in the evening so there were more sc2 interested people present I guess.

That is the best place to wear it. Why would you wear that shirt when speaking to women?
