One is formal and one isn't? You always had to dress formal and look professional for MLG.

The "Murican" way? Both are ok. I like the relaxed atmosphere at taketv.

i think everyone who have followed SC2 tournaments lately was disappointed with the pics for WCS.

Dreamhack and NASL was obviously the correct choices. Look at the WCS NASL arranged vs WCS NA by MLG. And look at WCS Europe etc.

Clearly the two best arrangers got punished by the glory that is capitalism.

MLG try to copy the "professional" korean shows, while in europe we prefer the relaxed atmosphere, there is no reason to look like a banker for a gaming stream, it´s all about the cast and how good they are

Well, one should be the highest official Starcraft 2 tournament there is in the world, and the other is an unofficial Starcraft 2 teamleague, though with alot of great teams and great prize money. And once the latter goes on to the "offline" part, I expect it also to be the world first Looping Louie drinking game team championship! :D

And don't forget, they cannot call it a legitimate event unless they invite the reigning champion: SaSe!

It's less about copying Korean eSports, and more about copying American regular sports. If you put in signs that said NFL instead of MLG you'd have something that looks like it could be a Fox Sports or ESPN broadcast. For some reason the businessmen in American eSports think that the goal should be making eSports the same as athletic sports instead of just carving out its own identity.

I knew WCS NA was going to be embarassing but they have really outdone themselves.

Thanks to everyone involved in WCS EU for not making it a farce.

If that's what he meant.

I want to know why he is comparing the two when one is WCS and the other is not? Give me a break. Oh, and if he really wants to bitch about the image they're trying to protray. Then please tell me how the heck I'm supposed to know MLG is hosting the WCS Qualifier when all I see is MLG logos in the given image; whereas, Acer Teamstory Cup is everywhere even when looking at the casters! Durrrrrrr.

Don't make such a big fuss about the culture because the presentations aren't supposed to be similar.

If so, how in God's name did they come to the conclusion that they should let MLG run this? roflmao

Been away a bit, probably missed something here

because MLG is superior at marketing. In a way Sundance is a marketing genius.

i think they just picked the two organisations with the best infrastructure in their region. i hate a lot on esl, but they have a lot of experience in online competitions and the proper system/website to carry them out. i'm not sure if dreamhack would have been capable of doing this.
