Gotta strongly disagree with this one. While there has been a clear gap between NASL and MLG in terms of viewership, player quality, attendance, prizepool and such (not talking about organisation here), Dreamhack is at least on par with ESL on those points (if not better), plus it has delivered some of the best events/esports shows in the foreign world so far, not even talking about their constant creativity, and the fact that they are always a step ahead in making esports something big and popular, in the good way (imho). Afaik, they also haven't delivered big organizational/infastructure failures lately, but I might be a DH fanboy on this one. | ||

At the very least they could make a conference cast where they show several games at the same time and switch when around when intereting stuff happens. Would reduce downtimes considereably. I mean TakeTV does is regularly with 2 games at the same time . One game ends and they have another one still going ? They'll instantly switch to the second one with barely any downtime. This is how a tournament like this should be handled . I wanna see the maximum amount of live games and results . | ||

It seems to me that this is one of those few instances that NASL would have done a better job and provided better coverage. | ||

And I thought ESL was not quite good enough to hold WCS EU, but they did a good job in fact... As if the NA scene needed this kind of trouble... | ||

"the community caused the mass of gold leaguers because they refused a sign up fee" like those are the only 2 options. heres 1 solution purely off the top of my head which just seems more logical. use the ladder as a qualifier for wcs. to enter wcs you must be a top 25 masters player of the region you want to enter. there, now everyone can enter because everyone can get to masters, and theres no random players with literally 0 hope of qualifying. that was hard. all these complaints, its easy to just blame the community for losing their mind, but every single one of them has been real legitimate complaints. there hasnt been a mass hysteria which turned out to be unfounded, its just that blizzard and their chosen WCS partners have gotten so much wrong its almost unbelievable. except that its not unbeleivable because both companies have a history of not engaging with the community, and making event ruining errors. it seems to be more and more obvious that blizzard is 0/2 in choosing the correct partners for each region, and total biscuit sticking up for them within hours of being paid to cast some games for them (the timing is truly shocking /s) does nothing to change that. Oh look, you're taking Twitter seriously again. So smart. Also I was not paid for my guest cast, you know nothing. | ||

The NA scene I think will be irreparably damaged by all the fuckups that's happened so far. | ||

WCS EU Finals were great their last DH Winter was terribly produced. ESL has great events (IEM Gamescom, IEM Katowice) and not so awesome ones (IEM Singapore). Plus ESL is the much bigger and experienced organization in everything online and apart from some hiccups they showed it in the online qualifiers. Especially if you compare it to MLG... | ||
