We've made strides of improvement throughout the season, and we will do so for this event... and all future events. Anywho. It's been nice chatting with you guys! I hope you all enjoy the event today, we've been working quite hard all night and this morning to make some changes to make things better. Not a single God damn apology from this guy except for: "GSL can afford to put 1+ million into prize pool alone in a year. We're not at the level where we can do that yet, sorry." Fucking pathetic. | ||

The longer they draw this out the more ads they can show. A bit dishonest to the advertisers though since most viewers aren't actually watching during downtime but they leave the stream open. | ||

Sure there are a lot of things that need to be fixed, but overall i think the event is good | ||

I actually think it's a good idea to give people a bit of a summary of the tournament if they haven't being following it. It's not like the each video is half-hour or something. | ||

MC wanted a long cord for his headphones, Moon mandated that he set his stuff up himself, aLive lost internet briefly on the computer because he accidentally unplugged the ethernet cable, DarkForcE was trying to install some very specific mouse driver and was having problems, White-Ra had a broken headphone and couldn't get sound so we had to change for a new one... You guys don't know what goes on behind the scenes Seems to me like most of that's the result of you guys using tiny port-a-potties for booths. | ||

Sure there are a lot of things that need to be fixed, but overall i think the event is good I don't really understand how this "it's their first season" excuse cuts it. This isn't new technology here. They could have easily hired an experienced crew who could have done a professional production without a drawn out learning phase. Many of the problems are things they also struggled with during the prerecorded and edited regular season. Why haven't they gotten training or replaced their staff with people capable of doing their job in all that time? I said this on a previous page but it bears repeating: On July 10 2011 02:21 Gurblechev wrote: The thing is, most companies have a product ready for market when they are asking money for it. I find it strange that anyone would be willing to pay to watch people struggling with the very basics, when you could have just hired experienced and talented people from the start. I don't pay someone to work on my car when they are not an auto mechanic with the expectation they will eventually learn how to be an auto mechanic by working on my car. | ||

Their attitude to the fuck-ups is what puts the nail in the coffin. | ||

This is not the case for this though. I really dont understand why they keep letting gretorp cast, its like they feel bad for him if they dont give him any air time... This. You don't let gold leaguers play in these large tournaments because it would massively detriment from the tournament quality, why do that for casters/production crew that are just as important to making a tournament enjoyable? | ||

I dont understand the allocation of resources at all for this. Getting TASTELESS to do 20 seconds of intro, for an intro.. and he's coem all the way from korea for this? | ||

The long breaks are a huge boner kill every time. If they necessarely are needed for some reason, make something happen. Make day9 and iNcontrol play 2v2 vs artosis and gretorp with tasteless commentating or something along those lines. Would be a crowd favourite for sure. The fact that the players could see the casters screens during day1 was somewhat.. strange. But it seems to be fixed now, so gj. Most of the issues seems to have been fixed in day 2 so awesome job there. | ||
