seeing the players compete is what matters to me, no MC show can make up for dozens of interesting series being unavailable (and a senselessly convoluted format thinning out great players somewhere far away from the stage where the as little as 5-10 star players are doing their thing beneath the mighty voice of day9). MLG had the vibe down perfectly, it felt more exciting because the off-stage action, but the delivery of the content was sub-par compared to DH in every aspect from duration to actual available content to tech problems, to casting diversity, to tournament format, to commercial interruptions. i bet the poll results would look very different had DH happened before MLG. loved MLG, but frankly, this DH set the bar for how an esports event is to be run at the very highest of standards. DH was a more professional event all around, and it sems to me of the big organizers these guys got the least to improve on by far. | ||

1. I was able to get VODs quite quickly after the matches had concluded. 2. I could watch them in a spoiler free manner! 3. Dreamhack casted nearly every single match. Thank you Dreamhack! Also, thank you to Team Liquid for posting a thread that allowed me to reveal matches at my leisure without spoilers! I hope this kind of thing will continue for each and every big SC2 event in the future. | ||

However, I can't just whine about Dreamhack, they put out 6 streams and gave us an amazing event for free, it's just that I found MLG a bit more enjoyable. | ||

+ Tastosis + More Games + Stable streams + Amazing Crowd and Atmosphere + Ton of stories/Drama + Player Cams Watching Dreamhack was a Heartache for me, Stream would lag/freeze every 5-7 secs, and it only happened on DeamHack streams. | ||

I must comment, however, on the rediculously amazing production on Day9tv during the event. The games on monday, the lack of constant action, and a weird time frame, for me put Dreamhack behind MLG Columbus, but the production on Day9tv at the very least was extremely extremely top notch! The moving pictures, the smooth animations, the eye-pleasing sponsor logos distinctly, but not distractingly in the bottom. Amazing stuff guys. Both had relatively annoying ads, however... I'd much rather more frequent ads than an ad every time the stream starts up, because I can't do much prolonged watching, and would rather not get every first 30 seconds of watch time eaten up by an ad. | ||
