Dreamhack had SUPERB streams, in every way. So fun to have different streams to watch your favourite player.
I actually switched to the SVT stream, listening to swedish commentators, and they also had some interviews at the end, and was closer to the crowd. I found this stream to be much more professional then the Day9 stream.
Sweden IS the internet. Truly amazing swedish stream. I think in time, TL need to learn swedish over korean ^^

Dreamhack was absolutely great, superb games, Day9 was totally awesome at the end, lots of different commentators during group stage, everyone could watch the games he was interested in live. The only negative thing I noticed were the stream lags sometimes, as well as the final day on Monday, but still these weren't all too bad.

The ability for me to turn of a TvT and instead watch a different matchup is a great benefit. The Red Stream/Blue STream was brilliant, especially since they had all my favorite casters running the various streams.]
bro, you do know there were 5 english streams at DH showing all the games on a set schedule, while MLG had 2 streams which showed a pathetic amount of games and most of the time they were during break or showed the same game on both streams
|
Dreamhack because of the streams and the very nice organized schedule.
|
I dont think you can compare these two events. mlg is pure tournament and all the focus on that. Dreamhack is a big lan that has it tournament, Dreamhack focus is not on the tournament, its just a BIG +
|
Both were amazing. But dreamhack had amazing production value, from the 5 or so series I saw It think given MLG's improvements, they were both equal. dreamhack seemed to have more "excitement".
|
Dreamhack cause stream worked all day long and you were able to see every game u wanted to.
|
I don't have anything against MLG, but i just preferred the streams and the schedules at DH.
|
|
MLG for the crowd and atmosphere!
|
Dreamhack all the way, free HQ streams. Better schedule and a much better variety of games broadcast at once. Better in every way.
|
They really needed more games to be played on stage at Dreamhack.
Also, I felt that the quality of the games during the group stage was not high enough because players had to play all five matches in a roll. Some mixing would have helped a lot, I think.
I missed Tastosis :/ and for some reason did not enjoy Day9's casting this time.. Perhaps he was too tired.
Still, voted for Dreamhack.
|
The crowd and main stage alone made MLG so much better to watch than Dreamack for me. MLG also had a lot more drama than Dreamhack and better matches overall. Only bad thing about MLG is extended series imo.
|
imo DH had the more entertaining games and a better schedule (for me, since i'm from europe), also i found the DH streams alot more stable and higher quality.
MLG was good, real good! though i must admit i enjoyed DH more..
so.. my vote went to DH.
|
I loved the commentators at Dreamhack, great games and specially the quality of the streams were amazing. Interviews etc made me choose dreamhack, so fun to watch!
|
I voted both, because they each have stuff to learn from eachother. MLG: extended series is silly and especially for a final having a Bo3 (maybe extended) is insufficient. Streams were not without lag. Dreamhack: ending on a monday is bad. If you can't do it in 3 days, make the group games on a week day, not the finals. Also audience-player interaction was slightly lacking (or just not shown?).
However, both events were absolutely top notch in terms of game quality, caster quality and sheer awesomeness. Looking forward to the next LAN!

Voted MLG based on fan reactions (as I could gather from streams). Americans screaming > Europeans clapping.

Well that's shocking looking at your location :D
|
How is Dreamhack beating MLG? Don't get me wrong, Dreamhack was great, but MLG was better in every aspect except stream quality. If MLG continues to improve at the rate they are improving it will become THE foreign tournament.
I think people are still riding off the excitement of the Huk win (which was awesome btw).

dreamhack for a higher level of player, quality stream but mlg for the interaction with the crowd and the live interview
