This tournament ticket thing where it allows one to view match in the game's client is such a great idea, but I think it is not deserving the attention of the community compared to various other issues.
The tournament section feels crude right now and need some work. Firstly, we should be able to customize the tournaments (which one we want on top) and also sort the type of tournaments (past/current, based on servers date etc). I would imagine in future there will be tons of tournament and it can become really messy.
Moving on to the individual tournament tabs. I think the replays are extremely disorganized. Instead of giving us a whole list of matches played, the replays should be organised into groups.
Such as:
Organizing the matches by the stage it is in the tournament like, group stage, playoffs, grand finals.
Example: Group stage tab, which will bring down all the group stage matches. If the matches are more than 1 game, they should be organised into tabs as well. So by expanding the group stage tab will bring out all the match-ups tabs such as Na'vi vs eG, M5 vs Darer, Zenith vs Orange. In a BO3,when you open the match-ups tab, 3 slots of game (game 1, game 2, game 3) will appear regardless if the game played was 2 or 3. If for example radiant won both game 1 and 2, then naturally there will not be a game 3 - so game 3 tab when clicked will reveal "not required" just so people will not be informed by the result of who won the 2nd game.
I also think that the tournament information should be listed in the tournament page in another tab or something. Just basic information like price pool, participating teams, format, schedule.
Another thing is they should have a game ticker - something like those on gosugamer and joindota. Like how many hours until the next 5 match in the schedule.
I know this will mean more work for the tournament organiser but I think Valve can probably create and implement some kind of system that makes this easy.
