Was really interesting reading progamers opinions on the different conditions in a tournament.

only read the answers to the first question (this article is really long), but i do think it's interesting - though not really surprising - that much pretty any tournament gets multiple mentions except for MLG. right now the only person i can remember saying MLG was Naniwa, which makes sense considering it's where he has done the best historically.

Just thought I'd throw it out that my work network blocks the link due to being "known for distributing malware". I am not necessarily saying it does, but letting OP know they might want to figure that issue out.
the absence of evidence, is not the evidence of absence.

I know what tournament Grubby is referring to for the worst one he attended; it was a War3 tournament and players had to warm their hands with a space heater placed next to the computer while they wore their winter clothes indoors. The pictures were hilarious, refugee level esports.

Seriously though, great compilation of opinions, I guess there's hardly anyone outside of the pro scene who'd get so many responses from so many pros, so it's great that one of the pros themselves did the work to make a survey or whatever on an interesting topic.


To me all he did was preach WCS when I believe it could be a lot better. ._. How many other tournaments did the chap compete in? Not entirely sure. I think he mostly sticks to the tournaments in Europe, no?


What did WCS lack in this matter? The only negative thing I've heard was from Ret when he came a bit late for breakfast and the pancakes were out, but you can't blame that on the organizer. :p

Good read. You'd think a lot of the stuff is pretty straightforward.

It was great initiative and effort to contact so many of the pro players to get their feedback. Also, very cool that so many players went out of their way to answer!

Great read!

I was at NASL when they were in Toronto as a Manager for one of my players attending the event. I was not able to go into the very back area and see what they were doing to the higher profile players. But from what I saw there layout of the venue was very well done. They had a nice area just for players who was assigned there computer, as the day went on and players left there was room for other players to take a spot as well. They also provided water to the players. Provided shuttle service form the hotel to the venue.

I hope I get to attend some other tournaments and have a better understanding of what goes on behind productions.

One thing that i've never seen used for tournaments that used to / have big open brackets...

A big clear wall around the player area. Meaning something the auidence can see through, but they can't touch through, and something thick enough to at least muffle near by noise a bit. Something in the neighborhood of a 6ft tall clear wall at least half an inch thick would probably be more then enough, and not excessively expensive to add.

A dialogue between the major tournaments regarding the standardisation of equipment (including the ability to adjust chair/monitor height) I think is an important point that is, in general, overlooked. This seems like it would go a long way to solve a lot of the problems raised by the players.

That’d be really important. If there were standard chairs/monitors/etc., progamers could buy them for their personal setup at home …

This is a great initiative. I hope this will help improve conditions for the players at tournaments in the future. I've read some players complain about poor conditions in the past, and I feel this really impacts their play at a tournament. For the best matches, both players must have the best conditions. It's that simple really :-)
