Oh yeah as far as feedback goes, I've been asking around and talking to a lot of people. These are the only 2 points that keep coming up, every single time.

1) Advertising outside of channels you already have an audience in.
You're not reaching out to NEW participants. Currently you're only advertising to people who already know about ACL and plan on attending. The last mention of ACL on Reddit was over a year ago - for ACL Brisbane 2013. You can walk away from the event and say to yourself, "I guess SC2 is dying, our open bracket attendance was awful" or you can assume responsibility for those numbers and think of ways to improve that.

2) Downtime. Downtime. Downtime.
This has been an ongoing echo for 2 years now. As far as I can tell, we ONLY streamed matches on the feature station all weekend. (I could be wrong). So after 1 series finished, we had absolutely nothing on the stream for 30 minutes while players packed up, set up, warmed up and veto'd. Just keep chaining games back to back, especially during day 1. I was going to offer to interview people during downtime over the weekend but that idea went out the window when I ended up spending all my time at the venue behind a casting desk. :P

Over the weekend, there were several individuals who actually grabbed players/personalities, dragged them aside and (offline) interviewed them for their own YouTube channels and Facebook pages. Grab these people and have them produce content for you instead. Or even put the footage aside to use in between games, ALA CoD Champs.

I know that ACL Brisbane wasn't meant to be a high-production spectator-focused event. You guys made that clear in the announcement. But on the other hand, it was the first opportunity to showcase what you've learned and improved upon since ACL Sydney & Melbourne 2013 (7-9 months ago).

EDIT: Stuff like this just gets swept under the rug. I think you need to give it your full attention.
