I guess we should have a given timeline of 2 hours if the game could not be finish and how the game would be decided if the timeline reaches. (ie: Points? Barracks? Hero Kills and so on)
From the rules given in lowyat.net, there is no such rule stating that 2 hours the game will be over. So, it's possible to let the participants know about this rule before the game starts. Some games could be draggy.
Drafting Heroes Timeline Rule. As mention from Anonymous1234, this rule should be enforced. (Ie: 30 seconds per hero)
Maybe you guys could have let 2 spectators to spectate the team they came cheering for. So its 2 spectators per team.
I guess thats about it.
I really wanna thank you guys on giving out great opinions.

Thanks guys.
When the game reaches the time line, the game will be determine by the CM himself according to his experience. Points wont be taken much into consideration, it will mostly based on the barracks, hero kill, item gained by the whole team and so on.
Drafting time line is still an issue here because there are still a lot of teams are still not used to the short time line yet but we will try to enforce as much as possible but sometimes due to some unknown reason there will always be problem occur. We will do our best to improve the situation.
We do let spectators and team members to watch their team played but due to situation where there is 2 many people at that time we are forced to stop the spectators to do so >.<

normally on Sunday it's much more easy for spectators to watch their team play.

yea, what actually happened to the "2spectators per team" rule? the only time i saw it was enforced was during KL's SMM. maybe it was enforced elsewhere, but from what i saw, i was shoo-ed away nicely by the marshall, and when i came back from a smoke, the place i was standing previously was crowded again with spectators keep babbling on what is happening in the contestants game. which could be distracting.
Yea it's tough for marshall to control the crowd and stuffs.... maybe a stricter policy should be implemented.
Another thing, drafting duration. -xl is new to alot of people, but it's not a valid reason for super long drafting time. maybe longer duration can be allocated for contestants to draft. say, 1minutes per pick, 30secs per ban?
if this the case, the longest time for drafting takes only about 15minutes, instead of letting it drag on the reason of new -xl mode.
And i agree that drafting should be done at a secluded area away from the crowd. as a contestant, i don't really need the opinions from random people... it's really not worth it to ruin the drafting lineup because of a mistake of listening to the crowd...
Anyway, Rome wasn't built in one day. So, take the time and improve the quality of Malaysia's gaming scene a step at a time!
Good luck!
We are trying our best to enforce a stricter policy but there are always people who are easily offended by it. So sometimes we are forced to do some drastic measure so we hope you guys understand >.<
Erm ur idea of drafting in a secluded area is good but sometimes there isn't any >.<
In your opinion where would be the best place for a team to be draft?? Open to all to give suggestion.
Thanks guys for your constructive ideas.
