I loved their stadium, caster couch, the tournament format was fantastic, I would say about the casters but they always get praise  My only gripe is that we didn't get 2GD hosting it | ||

If you wanted to screw DH over all you'd need to do is send an email to a record label with a link to the DH VODs. MLG does it right and uses music from a service. That said once esports get bigger all this music on streams and music at tournaments will have to stop completely. For now no one has noticed. Seems like you really don't have a clue. Here, take this.  | ||

- Loved that it is from Thursday to Saturday, so you can watch the finals even if they are kind of late, cause most people can sleep in on sunday. - There were almost no problems with being on time with the schedule, if you decided to watch a certain match, you knew exactly when to turn in. - Do i have anything to say about the casters? - Free HD Streams the whole weekend, this is awesome, I don't understand why people rage about some minor lag issues and bashing Telia/TwitchTV, these guys deserve way more love. - Finals were absolutely awesome, i don't mind other games in between, especially when its only for 30 minutes or so. - Host oviously hurt ESPORTS, 2GD did it awesome last time, i don't know why they don't use him once more. At least use another one next time, pls! - Crowd was amazing, some more people could have stayed for SF4, and when 2GD asked if he was host now, i had expected some better reaction from the crowd. Things DH isn't directly involved with, but are important to a good tournament imo: - Games were mostly awesome (I am not talking about Happy vs TOD ^^) - Except for RO16, racial distribution was very good. (Someone remember that MLG with top 6 terran? :/ ) | ||

I can only imagine that they'll need to expand the arena to next time, the entire place was full except for some of the side seats, but they didnt offer a good view and the screens used reflected in a weird way sitting on the sides. | ||

Small stuff - Could be a bit more clear about WHERE what is played. Hopping between streams wasnt a big deal, but slightly annoying. - A bit of unstable streams, especially first day. No biggie either, lowering resolution fixed it for me mostly. The one big thing DH lacks: - Higher quality games, more better players. I felt that given the player pool, a 32 or 48 player tournament wouldve been better. Day1 and 2 were also kinda meh in terms of the match quality (ToD vs Happy anyone?), although day 3 naturally made up for some of it. If DH can find a way to attract more Koreans and possibly even more high level foreigners, it would give them an amazing boost as an overall tournament. Work on that, DH! If it isnt possible (I completely understand why it isnt an easy thing to do), consider lowering the amount of players to create a higher density of high quality games. Even with 32 players doing 4-player group into Ro16-single-elim-style, theres more than enough games to fill three days with. You might even be able to stream all games with 2-3 concurrent streams up. | ||

Also can we can a pulse over time plot for the matches? That would be awesome! | ||

The stream stats look pretty unreal though :D I can't imagine viewer count peaking at over 500k, while during the finals there were like 80k people watching the english stream? | ||
