The last few MLGs I watched in HQ and the picture and audio quality was ok, I assume this is the case now too. What I notice from the few games I have seen so far however is that I realy realy miss the crowd reactions. This feels like some random online cup. So for the next events: - maybe lower the price and/or offer a LQ single freestream. - bring audience back - if you stick to ppv only offer a cheaper ticket that only lets you watch on the final day OR just for VODs - dedicated observers I think some of these ideas are pretty good. I bought it, but would have preferred a cheaper ticket (maybe $10-$15 for ticket and $5 off or so for gold members?). I don't agree with the bring audience back however, they already have four big events for this, and I think the idea of the arena is to be in a kind of controlled, intimate environment. I think having a cheaper ticket for final day is a nice direction. Make the ticket progressively cheaper each day, because once you miss one day or so, you might get turned off from purchasing the ticket for full price. On another note, I'm not really getting lag on 720, maybe a two second freeze every half hour or so. | ||

Since it kind of sucks for barcraft hosts to pay full price for only a few games. | ||

MLG should get the direct signal from players computers to get the real in eye. Its far more interesting and immersive. Oh and dedicated observers too. | ||

FIll the downtime between games better. The Dr. Pepper stream is a great idea, the interviews are good and everything, but too many times there was absolutely nothing going on on any of the streams, while at other times there were interviews going on at the same time as matches were going on. Interview coaches or other non-player personalities if the players are busy. Show highlight reels, even from old MLG competitions since you can't always prepare current highlight reels. Anything is better than nothing! That being said, the streaming set up is sooooo good! I love the various layouts, the individual volume controls, the first person views, etc. It is awesome. By far the best live tournament viewing experience I have ever had Casting is pretty good overall. Tasteless, Artosis, JP, djWheat, Tumba, Abeisis (or whatever his name is) are all pretty good! Rob is weird though... He keeps making weird faces toward the camera or other casters when he says something he thinks is cool, like he's Horatio Caine or something. Very bothersome. Overall, I'm fine that I spent the money to support MLG, the players, and the scene. However, I will not pay this much again in the future simply because a weekend competition is not worth $20. GSL, even if it were the same number of games, is worth more than weekend competitions because the players prepare incredible strategies and bring their best to every match making for incredible games. Weekend tournaments just can't replicate this, and thus they will always be worth less to the viewer than long-term formats. Anyway, keep it up MLG! You guys are doing a great job, and we all appreciate what you do for the community | ||

Was a good decision to check the event out on restreams instead of blindy buying it. | ||
