This dreamhack was AMAZING. Dreamhack really is trying to be the standard/set the bar for foreign events around the world. I agree with pretty much every point made. | ||

The map ban phase seemed weird though like if they tried to emulate the ban phase of dota2 but I felt like it carried no weight, like they where just going to take out a couple of maps and it had no meaning. Definately not the same vibe when the pick and bans in dota so dunno why they made a big thing of it, but I could be wrong .I actually liked it. It gives the casters an opportunity to analyze the mindset/decision making of each player before the map even starts. | ||

It takes in to consideration race and opponent's style of play | ||

Another major point was that it was scheduled perfectly for EU/US timezones. American tournaments usually only schedule for their national viewerbase. | ||

All three are good reasons. I will also add that this tournament had title contenders of all nationalities, which automatically draws more attention than when the players who actually stand a chance are Stephano and seven Koreans (five of which unknown). | ||

Thats true aswell, and I really think not having the "faceless koreans" there helped a lot, and I felt like the games was still top notch, and since koreans useally just copy whatever is good at the time, while here we got to see some peoples unique styles, like BabyKnight had some interesting plays, Lowely was also very unique, and overall the games were pretty close thoughout the main stage of the event. | ||

Not to mention that pretty much every single player was good enough to qualify and that made it so much more exciting for everyone! Once again, great job DH. The only issues I had was the stream issues with 720p+ and some sound issues that the production had. MLG really need to take a hard look how you are suppose to have a award ceremony. | ||

I mean they are great players no doubt but not everything is about playing perfect, its about innovation and entertainment for me.

Most important thing about getting people excited it properly timed music, there is almost no music whatsoever at MLG, whenever someone wins there is no lights flashing, epic music playing or some guy sitting in a couch waiting to have a winner's interview with the champion. I also like the veto in public, it adds a bit of personality to the game, and lets us get inside the mind of a player more, and Hellspawn was sick at announcing  | ||
