I remember rabidly raging against 14cc when Flash beat him in starleagues (still think terran was slightly imba v zerg in BW)....this is just so weird. He can't win anything now. I'm heartbroken | ||

I had a few gripes with some of his deliveries. Crank would also be nice to see more of, as he steadily improves his English. Mal was high risk//high reward in some of his delivery attempts. He tried to do some really cool stuff and sometimes it flopped. And sometimes it was funny and interesting,. Over all i liked what he tried to do. And, umm let's face it.. his English is 5000X better than my Korean. | ||

I think the slight disappointment I felt was due to two factors, a) the relative decrease in SC2 popularity. Really, really few tournaments have an actual decent offline crowd. The IAT crowd was really not bad but if you're just like 30 people or so you can never really get that crowd feel. B) Lack of hype players. Jaedong is a big favorite and I suppose Huk is pretty cool for the hometown audience but the tournament lacked it's Kespa heroes. Not that I know how to specifically deal with that but it's obviously part of why it only broke 10k viewers at the end and this thread is only 30 pages. TL could also have done it's share with a preview writeup (but I realize that writers have lots of stuff to do). Anyway, this felt like a step in the right direction but it's not quite there yet. It was good but not excellent. | ||

Highlights: * Dancing, cheering, sillyness, the crowd in general. Excellent crowd. * Pengwin basetrade games at the start and end of Day 1. * Intense's games and responses/interviews. * No one sided finals. * Host Mal asking in depth questions about the games. * The interaction between the casters and the crowd. * Diversity in casters compared to other events. To be improved upon: * Camera shots of the crowd were lacking, only showed 1 side instead of having a complete overview or more frequent camera pans. * At the start of the day, I don't think the Host should be sitting down at start of the day, during the interviews sitting down was fine. * Downtime, there have been a lot of technical difficulties and downtime on both main and b-stream, which was understandable, but still disappointing. * The exciting introduction video should have been shown more frequently. * Some graphics with brackets would have been nice. Conclusion: For me personally, this has been one of the highlights and most fun tournament of the year. Things weren't perfect by any means, but I would still call this tournament a definite success. | ||
