such a shame this event. Its the GRAND FINALS... no real stage, no crowd. How awkward the player introduction in the series was...
Starcraft has really to step up his production/marketing if you compare it with other games.

What i noticed is the strange behaviour of most of the koreans during an interview. they dont look at the guy talking to them once. they sit there silently and dont move a musle. so strange. Like there is a lack of social behaviour^^

and rofl "classic" is one ugly mother****er


How is it being 10 years old? ZING!!

I don't think it's odd for them to not be making eye contact with an interviewer speaking a different language.

The RO16 was a private event. The stage and crowd will be at Blizzcon for the RO8.

and I dont get this. its ro16 of the freakin GRAND FINALS... Playing without crowd and a proper stage made it look like its challenger league ro64...
No wonder why sc2 is decreasing generelly. If you have 3 streams open, one LoL, one CS:GO and SC2, I choose the other 2 games every damn time and I dont even play them while I play Starcraft since 2003 just because the whole production delivers way more. They just take it more serious it seems (no long downtimes between games, they actually moderate the games instead of just sit 3 rnd ex-progamer on a table and let them do what they want. Thats entertaining for pro´s and semi-ones, but it aint freakin profitable because they want shitload of money that they never truly earn for the way they COMMENTATE!
Literally breaks my heart that the most awesome and badass game ever made, dont have the right people doing the right decisions buisnesswise.

I take it you didn't watch the RO16, then. Because if you did, you would realize how out of place this statement is. Production on was great, well-made player intros that didn't feel scripted and on-point analysis for the most part. And of course, there was no downtime between games. You're talking out of your ass.

lol. you ever worked in marketing or something similiar?

If you go and see the sc2 stream is called "WCS GRANDFINALS Ro16" you expect the biggest production sc2 has ever had so far. That has to be the goal every year again.
But what do the viewer get? Awkward player introduction as there would be a crowd to hype (lol no crowd@grandfinal stream).
I seriously doubt that you know what a "production" is because basically the whole viewer-experience is made out of it. So all in all a big disappointment for sc2.

Why you split the grandfinals in two seperate events? Better let only 8 qualify instead of cutting the event into 1 pity event (wich costs you a shit ton of money only for the casters, wich also arent really qualified enough) and then hopefully one regular event @ blizzcon.

Hope there will be casted actual casters (with some trivia) instead of guys who played that game a shitton of times but know nothing about acting in front of a camera, moderating or casting.
They really do great for people who havent learned that, but there some ppl out there who actually done that.
And that is the same feeling I get about the production of SC2 events. They are only super super made if you just dont know it any better.

Just watch other big games when they have their biggest tournaments and compare. SC2 loses every case here.
