Feedback from last year
- We made preperations to show more games, show a higher % of the games & make the tournaments easier to follow
- We made preperations to hopefully reduce the breaks between the games
- We hope to include more players & visitors in the broadcast. Technical limitations of the venue last year should be solved
- More social media coverage & behind the scenes streams (if Neo’s phone is not getting stolen again…)
