IEM6, The perfect event?
- 12 of the world's top15 teams (if not the absolute best top 12)
- 4 draws in group stage
- 5 games finished in 16-14
- 6 aces
- All groups decided only in the absolute last games (last round, in NaVi's case)
- Upsets all over the place
- sick action all around
- No big delays/controversies

I think this is the most exciting tournament i have ever followed. Everything seems just perfect


PS : I'm only talking about the gaming part ONLY and not the stream/hltv debate. That's only the broadcast part of the actual tournament and can be debated elsewhere.

A small mistake. 3 draws in group stages, not 4. Can't edit now.

i dont like this event because we must watch matches at stream :( I prefer hltv :( sry4badENG
2012-03-07 19:27:29
yeah very close matches lot of draw or 16-14. n1
2012-03-07 19:29:17
This is the best 1.6 event I have ever seen.

A big downside - being in the middle of the week and in the morning.

Oh, and not having HLTV only stream.

Well, it has to be in the middle of the week if you want to have the finals on the weekend ;)

Yea certainly. I haven't seen a tournament so stacked since CPL in 05 or 06.

cs is in such a high level now
2012-03-07 19:54:59
yea thats why i hate bastard who say cs is dying....
2012-03-07 19:56:33
incredibly stacked groups.
2012-03-07 19:56:12
i think cs is dying...
2012-03-07 20:01:34
maybe in Brazil becouse of weak teams
2012-03-07 21:21:39
Don't think so. If IEM drops CS they can't replace with any other game. There is no eSport games left, and with only 2 games IEM would not work.
2012-03-07 21:23:07
bo3 on groupstage and you have a perfect event.
2012-03-07 20:39:50
nope, because less surprises then. more dramatic this way.
2012-03-07 21:23:11
it's an amazing tournament but i hate fucking draws..i think OT should be played always

and we shouldn't have to stream all the matches, occasionally it's fun, but i'd rather spec the matches myself

but overall it's been a great tournament thus far
