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 | ||

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.  | ||

It would've been great to see a bit higher, but at least it's an improvement from last year. I feel like Starcraft is unfortunately missing the sort of "drama" and rivalries that it had a few years ago and now it's starting to show in the numbers. What about Jaedong vs Bisu, Jaedong vs Fantasy, Jaedong vs Flash, Jaedong vs Effort, etc...? jk I can't believe that 120k people actually went to the same match, how the hell did they set that up so everyone could even see anything? | ||

You have to consider that a good portion of the people coming may have never even played SC before. I doubt it. Three channels devoted to starcraft? I am sure almost every korean native knows about starcraft. | ||
