As people have said, MBC just don't have the money.

I work in events atm, and it's extremely expensive to run a sub 1k person event let alone something around 10k. Perhaps they need to look at different sponsor arrangements for the future where they can bring on different tiers just for the finals.

Would MBC get control over things like food, beverage and merchandise?

It'd be interesting to see their revenue streams and where they could improve as they clearly aren't making enough and it isn't doing justice to a great finals series like this.

I highly doubt that its that much about money as some people are implying. This is about the expected turnout.

In recent MSLs, turnout has been less than great (like with Calm/Kwanro), and its much better to show a Medium-sized venue that's packed with people cheerings and carrying signs, than a half empty stadium with empty seats between the fans. They didn't know what the final ticket would look like this MSL. The blame shouldn't fall on them for the small/medium sized venue, but on (A) limiting the available attendance to fanclubs (instead of allowing the general public), and (B) the virtual studio, which removes a lot of the 'excitement' of panning onto the audience as they sit actually watching the players (rather than a screen showing the players).
I'm going to sleep, let me get some of that carpet.

not really a huge deal to me and most people here considering we`ll all be watching on a stream anyways. ppl in korea can still watch the finals on tv, i watched the stanley cup finals on tv and i didn`t rage.

besides, players say they play better at practice so hopefully a less stressful environment will allow them to play at an even higher caliber, and maybe jaedong will have a chance.

ok imagine stanley cup finals with audience consisting of 1000 people, third of them family members


You forgot that they watch it on a screen in a different room.

I'm surprised that once they discovered it was going to be Flash vs Jaedong they didn't scramble to find a new venue, find a way to get these guys to a bigger venue, anything.... Instead they decide to do that photo overall of Flash's face.. hahaha

If for the grudge matches, they can get players playing on the back of a truck...hell they could do they same in short notice! have them play on the back of trucks in a huge parking lot or something...

I hope since they are all jeadong/flash fans that they got absolutely f'in apeshit to make up for the small crowd :O Like, I wanna see a riot. Games just aren't as fun unless the crowd is losing their minds.

That's a good idea dude, I believe the dudes at the head of MBC must've thought of this kind of way-out but maybe the sheer number of legal and technical procedures to go through were so large that they couldn't afford time and money to make such a venue change? u know, things like providing security and seats for 10k+ ppl are not easy to be done without proper prep time.
Anyway, there's NO EXCUSE for MBC's decision to completely isolate Jaedong and Flash from the audience!!!! This's sure gonna go down in pro-gaming history as one of the dumb-fuckin-best decisions ever made!!!!!!!!!111111
