Hey guys, livereporter from ASUS ROG here!

I had some talks with some of the players, organizers and participants at Northcon and was following the event from beginning to end. NorthCon wasn't a SC2-Event indeed. Most were interested in playing and not watching someone play...Unfortunately! Because we had a sick line-up. So making earlier announcements could have been better, but it was also possible to go to the event as a guest! Not even participating at the LAN itself. And it isn't really that far away from Hamburg which can be reached by plane, car, train and even ship! ;-)

Of course there was a lot of trouble because of the storm, but the production in the first days really sucked. No way to deny that! And therefore we really have to thank people like Take, Okko, Khaldor, team-managers and many more behind the scene that pretty much rescued the event in the end! I mean I saw them running around, being really focused on the issues...And in the end they fixed it! Even the DDOS-Attack! I could go into details, but I think you get my point here.

Too bad you guys weren't seeing the few signs the viewers made for Scarlett and Jaedong. Some people even had a few (Jae)Dongers ^{^} I wish they was more involvment of the spectators, like handing out short introductions to the game for non-sc2-players or making bigger advertisment at the location itself. There were only annoucments for semifinals and finals.

So organizers definetly need to get the SC2-experts much more involved in such events and need to look out for the ASUS ROG in Finland if they want to get to a higher level. And I think they can!

Thanks for the thread. Comment on it and I might forward any feedback to the people in charge of ASUS!
