As someone who has loved MBCGame forever, it pains me to see them fuck up so much lately. Right on the heels of the Flash controversy which infuriated Korean fans greatly (they were greatly insulted, compared to the foreign response), MBCGame has decided to mess with their finals as well.
Sources Daily E-Sports, Fomos via PGR21.com
The finals between Flash and Jaedong that are to be held on the 23rd is booked for the D Auditorium at MBC (MBCGame's mother company, a national TV station). However, the players will not play in front of a live audience. Instead they will be playing from a "Virtual Studio" separated from the crowd, who will be watching via a screen at the auditorium. MBCGame says this is for the benefit of the players, so they will be able to fully concentrate on the game. Also, some fancy shmancy production techniques will probably be used.
The other wrinkle is that the D Auditorium, probably reserved months ahead following some MSL finals with very poor showings, holds only one thousand people. 300 of these seats will be given to the team, friends, and families of the players, leaving 700 for the fans. However, these 700 seats will be given to the player's fan clubs only. As of now, you can only apply for seats through the two players fan clubs.
*Note: It is almost certain MBCGame booked their finals venue FAR before they had any hints at what the final card could be. MBCGame is being silly here, but they're certainly not stupid enough to intentionally hold Jaedong vs Flash at a 1k venue.

I heard that the "Virtual Studio" is known of 3D-technology

Words cannot express my disappointment

wtf? what's the point of going to see them live then if they're going to be in a seperated room...
From a player point of view, awesome. Less nerves if they don't see the massive crowd, but isn't that what makes the finals awesome?
|
.... What to say?
I don't think players will regret playing in front of a huge ammount of people even if it makes them more nervous. The winner will be doubly pleased when he sees all the spectator.
The start of the decline of starcraft 1 this maybe?

wow, only 1000 seat vs OSL that had like 5000 or 7000? and only to fan club ppl.. this plain suck. I can understand the fact that they exclude both player away from the audience for the game but they should just take a dam stadium. ITS FLASH VS JEADONG

Wow that is a royal fuck up. It's already hard to get that hyped up about seeing two dudes in a booth clicking a mouse you can't even see, but the community, the fans, who all still go watch the games still faithfully do this. And yet they still want to separate it even more, the loyal fans, congrats you all get to congregate in a room and cheer at things on a tv screen... exactly what you could've just done at your own house.

no, just the increased idiocy of mbc.
while ogn seems to be on the rise once again picking up korean air as a sponsor for its next osl, mbc look like in deep shit with this move.

You'll probably find they make a loss on the stadium but make $ on tv ads. This is pretty damn lame though.

This is so ridiculous... 700 fans can go? I was expecting 10,000 people to be queuing around the block to see this =/

Fucking hell mbc are just terrible, just give your starleauge to gom, they'll do a better job
Its good that players have to play in front of a massive crowd, its one more element to sc that makes it more awsome
And i like how team mates go and throw up the players after they win
MBC epic fail
