Coverage was very good regarding the Los Angeles event page. The on-site team did great bringing reports and videos.

Would it be possible to bring more than just one ESL TV stream to the events? For example, one stream for all World of Warcraft and then the other for Counter-Strike? Just an idea.

I would also greatly appreciate a WoW-Stream and a Counter-strike Stream, makes it a lot easier to watch and you miss less (if you don't want to watch both ;()

The coverage was awesome because all of these short news and updates were very helpful. You also managed to reduce bigger delays and of course these youtube interviews were fantastic.
All in all the Extreme-Masters page got more attractive for everyone. Keep on doing such great coverages! ^^

Great coverage Stream and shoutcasting was great, i kinda agree with #1 but i guess that will be too expensive, also i dislike a bit that the shotcasters are in a studio miles away from the action but i guess is the better way.

Also you should do a new site for Online Tournament (main round) as right now is quite awful.

#4 Check your settings free stream quality was superb.

Just to add to my first comment.

The three British casters are a great addition to ESL TV. I know and have seen Joe and 2GD work before but Matt also brought great World of Warcraft coverage and comments to the event stream. So that was a great move to hire them three, next time pay for them to go to Los Angeles ;)
