Tbh I think the main problem is that it all has to be online because of corona. There is nothing like an actual audience to convey the legitimacy of a proper championship on a tournament. Other than that, I think they're handling it quite well. But you're suggestions still seem like a good idea. Apollo has been talking about ESL doing some survey and asking for feedback after the season finals are over. My main issue so far is the scheduling of tournaments held by different organisers. Oh, and the music between games. This is leagues below GSL and HSC. | ||

Its definitely felt far more important in presentation than the other online tourneys in my experience watching this and other tourneys | ||

Fun fact, spanish casters said in a Special stream once that they don't get paid to do the LatAm cast because they aren't official casters, only the english ones are. | ||
