NASL was brilliant - not too many games though, and constant coverage, however they killed the time with entertaining stuff, where IPL was : commercials, games, commercial, commercials, games, commercials.. end

IPL5 was by far the most impressive in terms of skill.

Production was lacking but MLG was also very good as well.

Too many foreigners in the other tournaments, not very many top tier players and easy sweeps for the few Koreans.
It is hard to enjoy watching <100 apm, no map awareness, and average unit control. Especially when they play each other.

I voted for Dreamhack because it is european, which means I can watch it at a convenient time and not in the middle of the night.

Close between IPL5 and NASL, but I think I gotta go with NASL. The Hyun smile gives it the edge.

NASL5 should be listed. They did a great job and had the luck of having all three races represented in top 4, unlike most of the other premier tournaments.

If I were to look at production only I think IPL5 would be one to look at, but their event was a marathon and overall I wouldn't mind cutting the number of games to half of what they had. I lost interest in the final games (was a sad panda after Hyun losing GSL to not scouting a "hidden" base) and overall disgusted by the amount of ZvZ games :0.

WCS Europe was the tournament of the year but I really enjoyed IEM Singapore. It had amazing games and storylines.

Why isn't NASL 4 on here? I'd say it was my favorite for sure.

Very strange that NASL isn't a choice.

Narrative wise, MLG was my favorite, but the production behind IPL was way better. Dreamhack is consistently staffed by the best in the business for pure human labor, but I didn't get to see it :/

My favorite was NASL4 - but partially because I'm biased towards Chance, the most amazingly handsome personality in eSports today. IPL5 would be second.
