We've had several threads with suggestions for the next league (e.g. swiss system), but I think it would make most sense to have a thread filled with suggestions that most people agree on.
- Obviously what most people want to see is as many games with video coverage as possible, including the qualifiers. I guess it's impossible to have that for every game, but you could make a poll which matches people would love to see the most and probably show 4 games or sth in ro32.
- I'd love to see a TSL1 best of when your video coverage is starting. Nobody knows when you plan to broadcast TSL2 and it might be too late, but a ~5 minute video with the best scenes would be great.
- The finals were really short and the ending was abrupt. An analysis of the final games would have been neat.
- This might create technical difficulties, but what I'd really love to hear is the opinion of players right after the games. If you managed to have an audio interview with some of the players that would be great.
- Bring back the probe, it's so cute.
That's all I can think of for now, let's see what you can come up with.

iirc, didn't a couple players actually come online to vent after the braodcasts and talk about what they were feeling, etc? I know for sure Nony did so.

- yeah, audio interviews (if possible) after ro4, and also an interview at the end with the winner.
- take out longinus plz
- broadcast the round of 32 if it doesn't take too much time. just the ro32 was boring, after the ladder stage and everything i couldn't force myself to watch a lot of the replays without the commentary
also, I wanna see an SCV. also, yeah in your intro put in some clips of the previous TSL. also when you introduce a player, maybe have a little like sequence where you show highlights of the guy's previous games from TSL1 or maybe even from other tournaments like Ascension (basically anything that has commentary and you can get permission to use).

* Obviously what most people want to see is as many games with video coverage as possible, including the qualifiers. I guess it's impossible to have that for every game, but you could make a poll which matches people would love to see the most and probably show 4 games or sth in ro32.
someone brought up the idea last season of a replay night. with so many games during the qualifiers, there should be one broadcast highlighting the better games. the commentary doesnt necessarily have to be as if it were live, but it could be casual and insightful
* I'd love to see a TSL1 best of when your video coverage is starting. Nobody knows when you plan to broadcast TSL2 and it might be too late, but a ~5 minute video with the best scenes would be great.
going off this idea, maybe do a top ten or top five plays from the previous round, with each quick segment shown between matches or games
* The finals were really short and the ending was abrupt. An analysis of the final games would have been neat.
agreed. it needed better closure, especially after something that spanned over two months

Just want to point out that I worked hard last TSL to do audio commentaries on as many of the qualification games as possible. I'll also be commentating on qualification games for TSL2 and encouraging other commentators to do this as well. There was a big thread and everything.

Vaul always appreciated your efforts. TY
I should get a mike myself. I'm sure I'd be good at it too, but I don't have a sexy accent like Vaul or a broadcaster's voice like Artosis.
Only thing I have to add is, please, please, make the finals a Bo7.

Bo5 is a perfect compromise between fair play and excitement. Bo7 is too long in my eyes.

I don't know if you guys can make it but to be able to show FP view every now and then (like in MSL, OSL and so on) would be amazing :p (Alternatives: have a FP stream, release FPVODs afterwards.

I agree. I'm generally pretty busy with school and work, but bo5 fits nicely. A long bo7 can run for hours :/

May as well put this here,
What i'd love to see would be a poll of who is going to win the match for the first 3~5 minutes of the game similar to what the MSL had. Give us something to look at during the slower part of the match 
of course its a live poll, with a link to vote from tl
|
I believe MSL did that via SMS.
|
I would love to see players playing LAN at some actual TSL event, but that may be too far off for TSL2.
Perhaps 3-4.

Dont show only the replays of the winner, people can recognize who won the series with this :x

Replay night is a great idea imo. having the 10 best reps per week was pretty good, but it didn't feel very interactive with the whole audience..
Suggestions:
- timing of the event...plz no more during exam seasons, I'm sure the organizers, staffs, etc. have more time during the summer vacation than any other times.. This is also true for the players.. :D
- one liners from players before matches. eg. "watch out for my cheese jf"
- "show matches", perhaps a matchup that people really wanted to see didn't really happen last season, maybe there can be a poll to see which matchup ppl really wanna see, and make that happen during qualification stage for bonus points, or maybe 20 dollars in cash, pride, whatever... eg. I think a lot of people wanted to see a Draco vs Mondragon matchup...
- a side tournament (maybe ums) for those of lesser skilled players for prizes too..This'll probably interest those players who don't play competitively, or just those who play couple games a week for fun.

To all the people suggesting we stream more: The organizers, technical staff, observers and casters pretty much gave up most of their weekends for a month. It's hard to ask them to give up more.

there is a reason there has only been one bo7 in the history of starleagues.
It gets repetitive, and the players noticibly fatigue as well.

I object, bo7 is the more worth for a final and the audience wants to have as many games as possible to watch.  How is are two more games making it too long and boring? Korean finals are also bo7 and I am sure we can hold the excitement at least as long as they can.

There was one bo7 in history and the extra game was of no better quality - infact the players were noticeably tired..

Cool, I'll just make up stuff to support my arguments too.
TSL needs more ninjas and random live bear attacks because that's what makes Korean finals so great.
