Pictures can speak one-thousand words.
I think the crowd this year was around 40-50k, might be wrong though.

It seemed smaller than previous years. Wasn't the alltime high > 100k? Was that SKT v. KTF?

Idk, but either way, that's still a massive crowd!

Looks like alot of people to me, so close to the water as well. The bridge looks lovely.

I'm glad there was a decent turn out - the location they picked for Busan was gorgeous. I wish we'd had more time to play about on that beach last year ;_;

Yeah, but it was SKT vs KTF during the golden age of both teams

If CJ advanced instead of Oz (IM SORRY OZ FANS) I am pretty sure the crowd would've been much much much much bigger

Yeah, but before, a proleague season took less than 4 months, there's been around 14 MSLs and OSLs already.

These are only the ones that have been held at Kwang An Ri (the place it was held yesterday).
Kwang An Ri is known as the "holy land" of e-Sports in Korea.

Well, according to others there was a pretty bad storm just the day before. So I guess that somewhat explains it. :/

And also, the first day didn't really matter as the second day would determine the winner. So I guess 40k isn't too bad since Samsung vs OGN only had 30k.

Why is it considered that? Is that where e-Sports first started or something?
