Thank you Blizzard for hearing our feedback on tournaments (HGC MSB praise thread)

I know there are maybe some other threads around but I just wanted to thank Blizzard for making such a great tournament. It was by far the best event I have ever watched. I feel like you had a big list with feedback of past events and worked on every single point. The result of this is just awesome, I mean:

  • Production was flawless and always on point!

  • Casters were great und very enjoyable to watch!

  • No unnecessary delay between series and short breaks!

  • No downtimes (I don't count the 10min in group stage)!

  • Epic stage and great crowd during playoffs!

  • Nice hype/fun videos of teams (QuackNiix could compete with Picasso)!

  • Best tournament format with group stage BO2 and the Phoenix Bracket!

  • Giving the upper bracket finalist a one game advantage in the Grand Final!

The East vs. West show-games were so funny, I laughed so hard yesterday and it seems casters had a lot of fun too. Viewership during these show-games impressed me, we had like 20-25k which is insane imo. The viewership for the whole event was very high tho. 10-15k during group stage and 20-30k during playoffs. This is the result of your work, Blizzard. I am thankful for such a flawless event you gave to us, this is what HotS eSport needs. We have a bright future ahead... (Sorry for my engrish, not my native language)

And now I enjoy the final day! Thank god there are 2 more epic games to watch - keep it up Blizz :)

Edit WHAT A FINAL! I am literally blown away! Both EU teams delivering some top notch Heroes of the Storm. Viewership was 3rd/4th place on Twitch with mostly over 40k watching the Grand Final, peaking around 52k - which is huge if you ask me: http://imgur.com/zkXNf6V

    Hey there, /u/eSportsMatt (or maybe /u/BlizzTravis ?). Just wanted to let you all know that the Refer-a-Friend feature on the website isn't working. The Twitter share doesn't include a link, and the Facebook share doesn't pop at all.

    Thanks for the note. The web team is looking into it.

    Glad you enjoyed the event, hope you'll love the final!

    Jumping ahead to call out, the Grand Finals will start at 8PM CEST / 11AM PDT. We will not be accelerating that match.

    Edit: 9 hours later and I don't think we could have asked for a better day. Thanks for watching, and if you were in the crowd at the venue you are awesome.
