We simply didn't have the time or energy to do all the coverage we wanted in the way we wanted so instead of half-assing it we are just going to do it better at Raleigh. As for the lounge itself, I'd say it was a success as a hang out spot after the days were over, but it wasn't used in the way we intended (place for interviews, amas, etc) because the distance from the venue was still long enough to deter players from coming between matches, and when they did finally come after their matches were over, they are not in the mood to do interviews. In this way it did not meet our goals, but ultimately this was an experiment for one MLG so we'll just reevaluate and determine whether we want to do one for Raleigh, and we're probably leaning toward no. Still, it was fun hanging out there and the place was really nice. While this was not utilized as efficiently by TL, other media outlets (including Well Played and Team Razer) were able to conduct a good number of interviews. Each evening was a safe (and legal) way for the players (and media on Friday) to relax, network, and party. It was never my intent to remove the players from the floor during MLG. During the day, we used the room to meet with potential sponsors and allow media, players, and sponsors to network in a less hectic environment than MLG was able to provide. The AMAs were great on Saturday. I appreciate CatsPajamas' help with them. Unfortunately IGN was not there on Sunday, so we didn't have CatsPajamas to help on Sunday (when the most players were in attendance). There was a lot to be learned from the weekend. For instance: did you know that White-Ra is fueled almost entirely by Vodka or that Tyler's wife makes great cookies? The final anaylsis I have about the lounge is that for those who attended and were organized, the lounge was a great success. While TL may not have the resources or organization to best utilize it, I hope that we will see some type of implementation in the future by the event organizers themselves. While this is unlikely from MLG based on the chaotic nature of their events, maybe we will see something at the next NASL final. Thanks to everyone who attended. I appreciate all of the help from those who stepped up. While it was never my intent to have a lounge at Raleigh (my apologies to anyone who assumed that), the lounge will be back for BlizzCon. It will be the staging area for the upcoming BlizzCon after party. I appreciate any feedback (both public and private). The primary goal of all of my events is the try to best serve the greater community. I can only do this with the help of strong supporters (thanks to Hot_Bid and Kennigit), advice from players (Sheth and Tyler are wicked insightful), and most importantly the feedback of everyone in the greater community. I hope that everyone who attended had a fantastic time and I hope to see everyone in the community who can make it at our after party at BlizzCon. | ||
