Made it much more entertaining
Add Darude-Sandstorm and its perfect!
Told y'all from day one that Blizzard made a big mistake and feeling a little smug right now gotta be truthful as all of my fears came to pass. NA Scene is just not ready yet and not only did we not get players we didn't even get a competitive ceremony.
Blizzard needs to at least put in rest of world limits, perhaps 3 of each race max of EU and KR. They need to change MLG to NASL because MLG I fear their hearts aren't in it so lets allow NASL to get a chance. Get someone like 5'6" so nobody is shorter than they are to interview. Maybe cute female interviewer like Smix or something. Although honestly... girls sometimes make things a lot more awkward. At least try to get like 20 people in and make a little crowd as we saw in EU even a small crowd > none. Replace Axeltoss with Doa or Kevin Knocke since I think they are unemployed Ceremony needs a huge trophy and loads of confetti. Maybe champagne. It just does and its like 20 bucks.

Because they're MLG's casters, they've been casting all season long it'd be a bit shit for them to get shafted from the finals.
Now I wanna see you saying the same for Tasstosis not casting because of this and watching Innovation vs Soulkey casted by... maybe Khaldor and Wolf or someone else...
MLGs are events like 3-4 every year.Dont think the casters are realy "tired" of their job...
Well, Tastosis are good casters.
Ofcourse they are, same as Bitter and Rotti... This make it even harder to understand the choice of those 2 guys "casting" the WCS NA...

It's a loyalty thing. I think NASL did the same thing during season 1 when Gretorp and Incontrol (?) casted the finals when they had Tastosis and Day9 there for the rest of the finals event.

Which is totally fine IMO. I'll never quite understand the rationale of not having the guys who've done all the work not getting to close out the finals.
On a related note, I wished people cut Axeltoss some slack. Every time MLG makes some silly decision and everyone's up-in-arms, I see him commenting on reddit about bringing up the community feedback (to whomever is in charge). Sure there's better casters, but I think he's earned a bit of goodwill to at least temper the pitchforks.

0? Really? Wouldn't a 0 be "the thing didn't even happen at all"
I watched a bunch of the games and I thought it was pretty good. Certainly not a 10 but certainly not a fucking 0, the hell
I don't really know what to score exactly. The qualifier was a total mess (1). The studio is nice and works well for group play, a solid product but the broadcasts takes too long (8). The finals was pretty much just the same and never got off to the next level(s) that is needed.
