The whole point of a final is the nerves, and who can conquer them. We all saw movie was REALLY nervous in his final. Like REALLY nervous. It affected the game, and it SHOULd affect the game. If i was a korean i would bycott this "live viewing". Just watch it from home, its obviously what mbc want...retards...

Curse of NATE I tell you. Even with two of the best players ever playing in a finals match, somehow it ends up being one of the worst because of this retarded decision.

Now its just another Bo5 match really, just that one of them wins a few thousand bucks and a paper weight.

Seriously what is the point of even attending, are the players going to be in a completely different building? Why don't they just watch it from home then if they won't get to actually see the players. It'll probably be better from the comfort of your own home with some friends.
This is ridiculous...and fan club only?
Because when you left, Brood War was all spotlights and titans. Now, with the death of the big leagues, Brood War has moved to the basements and carparks. Now, Brood War is unlicensed brawls, lost teeth, and bloody fights for fistfulls of money - SirJolt

Why bother, they can play out the finals on Iccup.

they have a smaller crowd on their finals, compared to the OSL, and their solution is to restrict access even further... fools!

they should make their finals in an open space with free and completely open entrance, make sure there was room for everyone, add something else to attract even more people like a music concert before/afterwards and then make a bucket of money on advertising. Just make it a huge event.

But that would actually look like smart decision and we are talking about MBC here...

Nate must be going "FFUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" right now, unless they were the ones who made that decision..

My god, how could they have fucked this up so badly.. I was thinking MSL would have no problem getting a sponsor after being blessed with a Jaedong/Flash finals, but now I won't be surprised if MSL gets cancelled next season due to a lack of sponsors.

they're trying to rig the finals, by putting a gun on the players head behind the scene to make sure they don fuck up the epic match by doing cheesy shit...

looks like korean e-sports is going self-destruct mode...

Just a theory, but if MBC wanted, they could easily have the final in an open space and attract 15,000+ to this match-up. But that would detract from viewers watching their station, etc, and it isn't like they would make any revenue from having the people at the event.

This is their biggest final in forever, so they're trying to get a big ratings spike. The only thing I don't get is why they would put the players in another sector away from the fans. Makes no sense and doesn't seem like it helps ratings/MBC in any way.

Lol..... wan bul em fking up once again.... I don't even have pity for wan bul em..

Yeah sure, you would get ridiculously good tv rating, but what I like about watching any final matches is getting goosebumps to see there are tens of thousands of more people like me who are passionate bout sc.... but I dont think thats gonna happen in this MSL final.. when its fking JAEDONG VS FLASH !!! GOD ITS THE FINAL MATCH UP I WAS PRAYING FOR EVERY SUNDAY.

No wonder OSL is 1 bu league.. they care bout both online and offline fans.

I think this is a great decision by MBC. I also thought that the Flash pop-up during the semifinal was ingenious.

Somehow I feel like we're going back in time... Next thing you know, Star Leagues will be back where they started... -_-

Anyone remember this? LOL

Seriously, though.. WTF? I guess it doesn't matter for me since I'm gonna watch a VOD anyway, but this is just a bitch move that completely removes the "epic-ness" of the matchup...
I like to asphixiate myself while covered in liquid latex... Do you?
