Fantastic show from everyone at DH. Great games, great casting, fantastic production value, and all the energy in the event made it feel great! I loved seeing the EU Finals from beginning to end.
For as many people simultaneously viewing, I had no stream lag at 720+ (oh, and I haven't taken that for granted, very nice not having to pay for such high quality content), and what downtime there was between matches didn't seem that long at all. Shanghai has a tough act to follow in November, as once again Sweden does a bang up job showing everyone how a tournament can be run.

also netting over 110,000 concurrent viewers (over all language streams) is FANTASTIC for esports
dreamhack knows how to get the people watchin

rest was fucking awesome

probably the best tournament experience ever apart from all those random sound problems.
|
Awesome event, loved it. All the extra videos and stuff between games was awesome. This is how it needs to be done.
|
Highest production quality to date (WCS Nordic was pretty awesome as well, except it wasn't at the same scale).
Very well done to those at Dreamhack.
|
Dreamhack delivered yet again! There was barely anything negative about this event. Actually, the sound issues at day 1 is the only thing I can think of.

Strange. I had no problems whatsoever with 720p. There was only a black screen once, but it lasted only for a few seconds. Maybe it was only a problem with 720+ or with twitch hating on some users' locations...
|
Major 720p+ problems both days, empty seats on camera and some sound issues were probably the downsides, the rest was wonderful.

I'm curious as to why this event got viewer numbers that seemed so much higher than all other recent events. I mean I've seen 40k-50k for other premier tournaments. MLG didn't release their Raleigh numbers so it's safe to assume they weren't great (not surprising since the event didn't have 1/10th as much hype as Anaheim). Was this event just better advertised?

The production value was just insane. I think it brought in a lot of people who normally don't watch starcraft
|
The sheer quality of that production was STUNNING. I am awed by how good these people are at putting on a show.
|
Great event! Agree that we need a more interesting map pool and Rachel's interviews were kind of awkward but other than that fantastic!
|
720+ was laggy because it was the only one with 60 FPS as far as I can tell so that one mode was getting hammered like hell no doubt.
|
|
Best event i think that i have ever seen! Dreamhack we salute you! <3
|
DREAMHACK<3 KEEP IT UP! BEST EVENTS OF SC2 THUS FAR!

720p barely watchable saturday, totally unwatchable today. 480p usually watchable, but with many periods of lag spikes. And no, it's not my internet connection either. Twitch, and only Twitch, has been having lag issues since july. No problems anywhere else :/ It was the same (worse at times) for friends with an even better connection, on the other side of the country (granted it's not a big country. maybe a bit bigger just for today )
It definitely lowered the enjoyment level of the tournament for me, and stopped the aforementioned friends from watching it altogether. Fortunately, everything else was top notch.
