Great post. I'd just like to mention that in my opinion having the players on stage is even more important than the commentators. If SC (and Esports) is to become huge, the players have to be the heroes of the moment, in front of everyone's eyes. Not somewhere backstage and being shown on screens. Hopefully MLG's priority for next season will be installing booths.

Quite an excellent post. Front page material, in fact. Hopefully some of the people from MLG will see this and take this feedback and improve the spectator experience in the future. Maybe some people who know some MLG organizers could forward this great analysis along.

Excellent post Peanut, I would be very disappointing if MLG doesn't implement this next year in their SC events, it seems so... clean, easy, and optimized to do.

It's something you don't really consider until someone points it out to you. Great presentation and well articulated.

MLG can only get better, to be honest.

Very well articulated and thought out post Peanut. Commentator positioning and seating arrangements are some of the most important improvements they could make to MLG Dallas. I didn't really complain about it much at the event because I'm used to the poverty spectator arrangements from fighting game tournaments, but if Starcraft 2 is going to break into mainstream it needs to be addressed and I'm sure MLG can make it happen.

I'm not sure how it is in Korea, but in NA, casters like day9 and djwheat are a huge part of the presentation of the event. That's why every major NA tournament and some european tournaments have Day9 casting. I think giving them a spot at center stage along with the players would be awesome. So, I think the Korean model would work very well for MLG. And to be even more specific, the GSL model would work well. Have 4 booths and a casting desk in the middle with screens around the area. This would allow the most visibility to the players and the casters. Having 4 booths would allow the players playing in the next streamed game a chance to get set up and warm up before their match begins. This would also simplify the camera setup so that they don't have to change positions all the time.

It'll certainly be interesting to see what they will do with the setup for MLG in 2011. It sounds like they have some big plans, and I'm sure SC2 will play a much larger role in their events now that they've seen its popularity.

I agree on all your points and you are absolutely right.

One things I would note is that we are missing a big Europe event. Apart from different LAN events where you may also have SC2, there is no SC2 specific event and with big prizes, so I'd like to see some great European events as well.

I think it would be terrific if they just had 2 booths for the "featured" match that the commentators were following, and used a setup similar to Blizzcon/Korea for the presentation. This not only would add to the excitement, but would help with some of the "don't worry, that's just Halo" problems if they were actually sound-proofed well.

Great post! Totally agree on what you are saying here. It's kinda funny how I actually go to MLG but I all I do is just watch a giant screen, which I can actually do in my room. Commentators and Players exposed to the crowd is very important for the scene IMO.
