This seems like a good occasion to have an evaluation here on TL as well, about what was good with the tournament and what can be done better in the future.

Every other issue I think just will be sorted out by gaining more experience and finding a groove. I agree. And I would add that scheduling the matches so Koreans have to play in the middle of the night just does give a level playing field. When Katowice can start matches at noon CET, I don't see how the season finals can't at least be moved forward to 2 pm CET / 9 pm Korea. Even if it costs a few viewers in the beginning, imo it's really important to do everything to ensure that everyone has as close to even conditions as possible. Scheduling the matches so that Koreans play as early as possible and Americas-players as late as possible would also be a good idea, instead of just following bracket order. | ||

Would love to see more player interviews, even for the smaller, regional Tournaments, like Oceania or Taiwan. | ||

Huge if true. Am particularly impressed with the Korean players' ability to get out of bed, catch a quick bite and a shower, get to the Afreeca studio, set up their stuff, and be ready for the games in exactly 0 minutes. | ||

Important to note that no matter your sleep schedule you'll play worse super late at night unless you have a condition that gives you an unusual circadian rhythm. | ||

To throw in something positive, I very much enjoyed the variety of casters we got to hear. Probably one of the advantages of an online based circuit that you can have a variety of people you don't have to fly in. But even then, in particular CatZ but also Demuslim and feardragon are people you often don't have casting in big events. And I thought that was cool cause everyone brings something different to the table. | ||

I understand that behind the scenes the players decide the server for each game according to the default server cross-table, but as a viewer you have no idea which server was chosen unless the commentators randomly announced it. I was curious about this one too. For a Kr vs EU match, one of them will always be at a latency disadvantage? | ||

I think the only constructive feedback I could offer was the sheer volumes of games. With several weeks of play and two or more streams, it was very difficult to keep up as they were happening. The other thing, which is understandable, was countdown timers to games, which I understand are necessary but not a lot of fun to watch. One thing I noticed a lot during casts were caster referring to amazing games played earlier in the series or even earlier in the day. Not sure if this would even be possible, but maybe compile a short top 10 or 5 series played list based on casters input/viewer poll before major events like finals? Maybe a “road to victory” series showing better games of the people about to play in finals? It would be nice to highlight amazing back and forth games or great comebacks and give players who played their heart out for a series a little highlight. Even if it’s only a 1 min or 2 min list it could fill the place of the 2 min countdowns and give a little attention to the players who deserve it. | ||
