I'd wager a guess and say MLG Winter? Kespa vs eSF, dawn of HotS, lots of star power, good caster lineup, etc etc | ||

IEM WC wasn't that hyped, also not that viewed to be honest. MLG got nearly x3 as many peak concurrent viewers as the IEM beta tournament. IPL5 was epic as fuck. | ||

Last year I didn't even tune into the Global finals because it was like Parting 2 more korean toss players I don't even remember and a bunch of foreigners that had no chance of winning. This year I can barely sleep I am so excited. People can say what they want about regionlock if you limit koreans then you limit the whole skill level of these big tournaments DRASTICALLY. I agree in theory, but I also enjoy world cup like events, so I can see both arguments. Also, while the final tournament may be less stacked, it basically just means 'WCS Korea' goes back to being the premier tournament, which always used to work fine. I also strongly feel like if region lock does occur then there will be an exodus (whether minor or major I don't know) of Korean pros immigrating to Europe or the US. Financially its either do that or retire (yeah you could try and switch to lol but I feel the games are too different to allow a smooth transition). | ||

MLG winter had a lot of viewers but there were still a lot of people not happy about the format so I think it kind of cut into the hype leading up to it. Remember how many people were upset about open bracket being removed? | ||

I honestly don't think any tournament has been this hyped ever. Biggest prize pool plus probably the best lineup of players. And the format of all bo5 should be super awesome as well. I CAN'T FUCKING WAIT FOR THIS TO START OMG!!!!!!!! | ||
