Staff were friendly, hardworking (working around the clock). There should be name tags next time so it will be easier to show our appreciation for the staff, and for the players/staff to communicate more efficiently. We know who Dox and Vance are, but there were a few familiar faces whom I don't even know the names of, that were putting in a mighty effort the entire time.

Production was absolutely FAN-TAS-TIC. Maynarde & Co putting a terrific and lengthy effort definitely deserves props.

Organisation/scheduling was abit flimsy - I am slightly abit more critical about this as I happen to be the biggest victim of such(Tied first-place in group, no time for tiebreaker). But I do understand it was caused by unexpected events. However, ofcourse these things can be prevented in the future.

Dissappointed in my own play but the more experienced(I refuse to say better to keep the drama flowing) players got the better of me in some really crazy series. Also a little dissappointed for myself personally that I didn't get to play in any streamed games, or do any pre/post game interviews.

Was great to see everyone and meet a few new faces.

In terms of competition, MG still the man to beat, Ninja solidifying his place as most improved of 2012 so far and one of the few names capable of taking away MG's throne. Good to see Delete coming from the open bracket to rep Protoss, saw some great games with him vsing Pokerface - Protoss winning a base race against Mutas, WTF LOL? Top 8 Zerg was a little dissappointing, with the Terrans and Protosses barely missing out - definitely need to step it up! Although getting LAN would help, ALOT.

Despite all these great things, Iaguz stays European, rendering the entire event a big dissappointment.

What a great weekend of entertainment. I managed to catch a fair bit of the stream on Saturday, and did a 9am-1am stint (couldn't make it to the finals!) on Sunday.

Pretty fantastic quality overall! The production was great and from what I could see the venue looked great. You could tell that both the staff and players put a lot of prepation into this event. The level of play was really high, with a lot of meta-gaming and new strategies being thrown around. I was really impressed the the final group of players that, whilst probably suffering exhaustion, put out some really good games right until the end.

Even though it probably doesn't mean so much coming from me, thanks to all those involved as it was really enjoyable to watch.

Some notes from the stream side (just nitpicking)

- Lengthy periods between games, especially on Saturday. Sunday afternoon was great as they really punched through those games. (Understandably it's hard to get players organised, keep the brackets flowing & keep the stream satisfied)
- Casters probably don't need to introduce themselves so often
- Interviews were great, but some of the more impromptu ones got really awkward (some of the players didn't know how to answer the questions)
- Knowing whats going on! At times we didn't really know what was going on and when. Sometimes soon meant 2 minutes, other times it was 30+ minutes.

I'm really looking forward to the next one, and would love to attend in person (even if I wouldn't know a single person there)
