One big area of improvement: Redo the schedule just a little to allow for AT LEAST Bo5 semis, and Bo7 grand final. Bo3 is just not enough to separate such high caliber players. My opinion, of course. | ||

i feel that MLG, IPL and NASL has to get their act togheter and hire a DJ who plays decent music. Dreamhack had such an awesome playlist. Justice, Prodigy, Röyksopp, The Knife... | ||

> Sticking to 'studio' for the early rounds as crowd turn out would be too low anyway. They basically did this at winter too, though the atrium was open to spectate in the live crowd was barely acknowledged and cheers were weak. > Everyone knew what the winner should do: leave their booth and head for the couch. No messing about waiting for hosts. > Pro video direction. Everything about the set and the visual experience was above and beyond a GSL production > Single elim champ bracket. It is SO much more hype than having a losers bracket. I would have loved to see Socke go on, for example. But he was outplayed and for that I don't mind. > Incontrol pulling the leg of everyone whom he knew he could get away with it > Amazing casting. Wolf and Apollo was a pretty dope combo. Having Incontrol on for flavour yesterday was a nice change of pace too for group games that, frankly, are hard to grind through when casters have their serious face on All in well done Robert Ohlen and Hellspawn for putting on another wicked sick shown and most of all CONGRATS THORZAIN!!!!! :D | ||

Next time make some qualifiers so we don´t have to sit through 32 groups of Koreans roflstomp some semi-pros. Or just reduce it to 12 groups with BO1s... | ||

It was a open tournament and you cant blame DH for players who rather do something else. | ||

And second best thing was Incontrol, that guy is made for casting and being on the stage doing interviews and stuff. Geoff, if you read this use this talent you got and earn a couple of extra bucks so we actually get some GOOD casting and some GOOD guy at the stage at each tournament. You are made for this! You are like the second best caster out there after Artosis goddamnit! The third best thing about DH was the schedule. They literally never crashed or had any problems at all. The matches were like 99% played on the correct time. | ||

It's like the HomeStoryCup: all the waiting time makes it even better. | ||
