As with DHM Summer and Fall, ESL/DreamHack has put out an official viewer feedback survey at the end of the season. Take some time out to respond so they can continue to improve their StarCraft II tournaments!

I wonder if in the final group stages before the playoffs, they would consider making it a best out of 5 instead of best out of 3. I know that GSL has always made it a best out of 3, but I think sometimes there is some luck involved if it's a best of out of 3.

Otherwise, everything went well for this season's ESL. No complaints from me. I like how they have the player cams now for all the games, it makes it much more exciting to see the player expressions.

That oul take too long imo, especially for Koreans that already play late..

First time leaving a negative review. Watching vods after the fact has been a terrible ordeal this time around. Vods on twitch are all mislabled. Youtube hasn't had vods uploaded since the NA finals (5 days ago). The only decent way to watch this tournament aside from live is on sc2links and it takes time to update. Mad props to the guy who runs that. We shouldn't have to rely on a third party service to watch such a "prestigious" tournament as this.

that's THE big negative I had too and I mentioned it lenghtily ; otherwise the casting / interviews / production value / organization have been pretty great.

Yes the vods are mislabeled due to reruns run right after and then the title has rerun in it as well when the stream stops. This should of been changed manually. Anyhow its quite easy to find the correct vod a few hours or 1-2 days afer its been played. But I guess if you missed a stream from 4-5 days ago its a lot harder

Imo, player cams should be made mandatory for all - they are getting paid well so this shouldn't be an optional thing, unless there was some unexpected technique issue. Even then, the players should be responsible for their own equipment and have it tested (or have a backup).

why not try KR timezone in the next season?
Don't practice until you can get it right, practice until you can't get it wrong.

Presumably that would harm viewership.

It absolutely would. 9am ET (the start time of today) is already pretty early as far as viewership goes, usually ~11pm-5pm is kinda the sweet spot. Something like 11pm - 8am ET would be atrocious for viewership, not to mention limit the commentators/burden the EU-based production.

Why not get them to play at their time and then cast from replay at a time with better viewership? We did that for the Team League. At this rate, each Season Final timezone/schedule is against the Koreans, every single time. It's just not fair for them.

Playing at 3:00 a.m. always harm quality of play, which is a huge disadvantage for East Asian.

Oh, I missed the live game. I want to know what happened.
No VODs?
Oh, it didn't happen then. What the dream? What the hack? I've no idea, I'll pretend I didn't know anything.

We tried to include player cams for Nation Wars and it's basically impossible to have any player cams with Chinese players. And then it makes it akward to only have a player cam when the other player can not send his cam.

There should be change in spot distribution. Europe should get another spot from Korea or fight for that place in another playoff match. I mean all finals won by Europe player and now each of Serral, Reynor, Clem you can consider as best and future potentially winner. So there is harder to dozens of Europe players that have EPT points.

And event more harder is with global finals. You can compare that it is quite easy from Korea to qualify to play-in-stage (Ro36) compare to Europe region. For know it looks like 18 x 7 spot places, considering all available places.

I'd love a calendar of who is casting for the next few days. Especially during the group stages, where there's less on the line, I want to watch when there is a casting duo I like.

Chiming in to say the last vod uploaded on youtube is still 6 days old. Not a single vod from the finals uploaded yet.

Production wise, yes for the show presentation.
AFAIK not quite possible with Chinese mainland players if the production team use Google Meet. VPN or Proxy can access Google Meet but makes the lag of the game much worse.
Skype, may be possible.

There should be change in time slot distribution and it's not happening either.
I imagine France should be able to take this unless Lilbow is busy practicing for Starcraft III. | KadaverBB is my fairy ban mother.

The overall match and broadcast are really fascinating ^ ^
Just one problem with the re-run, I think they should pick and rerun some quality matches or just rebroadcast yesterdays matches after the world playoff, instead of re-run matches randomly.

This tourney is the same as BlizzCon finals? The main tourney of the year?

no, this is something more like previous WCS SEASONAL finals from the early WCS system.

Edit> added the word seasonal so it\'s more understandable

As a Chinese audience,I feel the DH Master Winter is a fantastic match.There are lots of top pro players competing with each other.Im a little disappointed in they can't play offline without much lag.And I always wait for the next game for a few minutes,this surely made me sad.But to be honest, ignoring the small problems,Im so glad i can watch such great matches.Thanks to the sponsor!

There is no real way to do offline competitions right now for events like that. It s either online or no cross region play sadly.

As yet another Chinese audience, after watching all 3 season finals and seeing East Asia players usually need to play intense games during 1am-3am, and consider the main timezones involved, +08:00 CST, +9:00 KST, 0:00 GMT, +1:00 EET, +2:00 CET, -5:00 EST, I would suggest the organizer reschedule the commencing time from 22:00 to 20:00 CST (i.e. from 09:00 to 07:00 EST).

If NA players feel this a little bit early for them playing, we can even switch between two schedules back and forth, for example, if we start the matches at 07:00 EST in Masters Fall, then we begin them at 08:00 EST in Masters Winter.

I think this is fairer for players living in different regions.

done.

also thought the global finals should be 1-2 hours earlier.
I think it makes more sense for Neeb to adjust a little than for 6 koreans to adjust.
Also gives the tournament more credibility

Really no huge issues bar the mislabelling of VoDs at my end.

Perhaps arranging the schedule to help Korean players in terms of order of play etc. I realise you can’t switch the times wholesale given peak viewership, but even giving some of the Korean players playing a few hours earlier could help in terms of fairness.
