Always found DH to have poor competition too and remember the ones mana and thorzain won were some of the weakest competition I've seen in a major tournament ever. They get very few top and interesting koreans (besides MC) as well and just the ones on foreign teams. I've usually only watched DH towards the end, but saw some of valencia and that was a trainwreck day 1. No player ever shown, delays before games longer than what MLG has ever done. Was just a very poor show all around. I will always watch MLG championships, but DH is something I can live without. | ||

Whenever I watch a streaming service, inexplicably sometimes it lags, and it isn't the connection on my end. I'd need streaming services to be a lot more reliable. | ||

What's more, this whole tournament is basically glorified seeding of KeSPA players into an MLG. It just rubs me the wrong way. It's understandable that MLG wants KeSPA players at their event, but to basically guarantee them spots in the group stage is immensely unfair to everyone, including them. You wouldn't be completely in the dark, I'm sure there will be more than enough spoilers online. Also, you could attend a spectating event in your area aka barcraft. | ||

The only reason I can think of this being more expensive is if they had to pay KeSPA to get their players involved. Is that not enough of a reason? We all know how KeSPA is about protecting their brand/players | ||

Dreamhack doesn't have the strongest competition and MLG is miles ahead when it comes to the intensity of matches going on and more Koreans as well. Also I hate the typical "take notes mlg" I see on reddit as well. This does need to stop. I almost feel like it's regional thing as well that comes out as hating on an American business. I could be wrong but I get that vibe from just reading on most of the comments about MLG. | ||

Not really a interesting point cause well, who's fault is it that the strongest competitors dont come to Dreamhack? You have to go to the teams and players themselves for that. Not Dreamhacks fault or problem. A regional thing? Probably, but i think its also a community thing where Dreamhack blows MLG out of the water. Not to mention you dont hear a lot of crap around Dreamhack while MLG keeps trying to get attention with the most dumb ideas. | ||

There is quite a difference between getting up early to watch whole day of starcraft tournament on Sunday with finals 5-7pm and staying up late on Monday night before you have to go to work. I never watch MLG's last day because it's impossible for anyone who has a job or takes his school seriously to spend whole night watching a tournament that ends with luck 4-6am | ||

The level of discourse is pretty depressing these days. If you don't like paying for content, don't. To actually hate the organizers for attempting to figure out a sustainable business strategy is an incredibly childish and sheltered view of how the world works. | ||

They did make money $$$ period. I dont know if you remember what Sundance said in a interview on ITG. He said hes ready to lose viewers, because he can make money from a less % of viewers who want to pay. | ||

But MLG used to seed Gom Koreans right in group stage, when it was even more beneficial to be in groups. This is no more egregious than that. | ||

I'll be holding back on buying until this whole player situation gets sorted out. If all the original invites were playing, $10 price point is a no brainer for me. | ||

I'm just as entertained from DH as I am from MLG. Yes they have nice framerate on the stream but that's really it besides the quirky cam shots every once in awhile. And what do you mean MLG keeps trying to "get attention."? It's a bushiness, of course they want to keep promoting. | ||
