An absolutely breathtaking experience
Barclays Center - Brooklyn
First off, this is my first ever trip to an event of this size. I've been watching Counter Strike tournaments for the past 3 or so years now, including some past ESL One NY events from 2018 and 2017. It's a completely different world altogether. Ordering the tickets was no big deal, seats aren't assigned, so regardless of whatever seat number your ticket says, depending on the type of ticket, either general, plus, or premium, you are allowed to sit in whatever areas are designated for those tickets. In my case, my brother and I were right smack in the middle of it all with premium tickets. They come with a goodie bag that includes some collectible t-shirts, mouse pad, and coin commemorating the event, seats in front of the stage where the players are, and access to premium signing sessions. The atmosphere of the whole thing is amazing, to put it simply. We we're lucky enough to be given a lot of close games, which made the whole crowd cheer and shout non stop the whole weekend. The staff for all of the booths that were set up and the gift shops were friendly and nice, however the food prices are incredibly expensive, not to mention $6 USD for a bottle of water. Upon entering, they do have a bag check and detectors, we were allowed with string backpacks to carry our stuff in. Went by nice and smoothly, and security was all over the arena to make sure nobody was getting out of hand, considering much of the crowd were mostly teens/young adults. All in all, if you love the game counter strike, and you're craving that incredible experience of being in an arena of a couple thousand people screaming their heads off for their teams, then ESL One NY is absolutely for you. They've done this event every year for the past 4 I believe, and I can't wait to go again in 2020.

Awesome like always but...
Barclays Center - Brooklyn
Ive been coming to this event for 4 years now and every year its been fun, something I did notice though was the lack of vendors the last 2 years. I understand that some sponsers changed and venders come and go..but venders can really make up some dead time the attendees have during the event. Also they can bring in more money for the event itself.

Good but can be better
Barclays Center - Brooklyn
Great event, the sound system and effects were awesome. The improvement would be to make the signings at a more convenient time let's say start at 10am instead of 1pm (during matches), and have the signings a bit longer so people don't come all the way from far far away in another galaxy to only be allowed 1 autograph. The line up for some of the teams were really long and the signings for EG were skipped, where honestly they should have known to slot it at a different time. Also AT&T has all the priority even over premium tickets. Didn't see any perks being premium in signing sessions.

Great experience
Barclays Center - Brooklyn
This is my first CSGO tournament. Went with a good friend. Really enjoyed the production and matches. 4 stars because I did not enjoy watching commercials during some breaks. There were a few events or entertainment pieces by the talent but there needs to be much more of that. I didn’t come to a live event to watch commercials I came to be entertained. Also tech paused weren’t bad but should be minimized.
