I agree with Maynarde 100%, he summed it up perfectly. There was some epic down time and it got addressed really well on day 2. Really liked what you guys did with game analysis and interviews. Should do more interviews and have MC hype up the crowd before the games

ACL Brisbane was crystal clear, no lag whole event. No spikes - that net was imba.
Another thing I'll say, and this is feedback to the players I've always noticed there is heaps of ******* around at ACL. Play your games, get off the PCs and report results straight away. If you are waiting for PCs to play, get your opponent ready and hang around the admin area, as soon as someone reports result, ask admins to take their PCs and play your games! There was a bit of luck that this ACL seemed to zoom by on Day 2, but day 1 looked painfully slow. I wasn't there but I read above that there were some PC issues, so this could have been to cause. Still, I don't think everyone takes their responsibility to get their games done properly.
Admins, have players ready for stream games, don't hold up the bracket too much, but if try and get someone waiting just a bit and get them ready with their veto's etc so they just have to set up, warm up quickly and get going.
Looked like it was a really well run event and the games were great. So my feedback, keep doing what your doing - but lets all try and stream line it a bit more!!
Also, I think I prefer the single elim version of the brackets.. I'd like to see that amount of people going through the groups but a double elim bracket for champs.. idk.. I think with more spots from groups you get some really nice stories of under-dogs coming through.
Anyway, hope to make it to the next one #Melbourne2014???
