How does this improve rating in anyway? People will just watch online...

I do care that the players wont be playing in front of a live audience, as that kindve stuff is what seperates great players from great practice partners. Pressure plays a huge rule in pro SC, where nearly everyone has amazing execution in the practice house but starts making mistakes on live TV.

Ya honestly I don't think this will change anything for us at all. And neither for the people attending since the fan clubs are the ones that really care about the players, I imagine the rest is mostly attending for the games itself.

This would be the equivalent of having a World Cup (or any sports final) game played on an empty field separated from the crowd because that crowd might disturb the players' concentration... I think a move like this would be ridiculed regardless of the type of competition it was applied to. It's just a stupid move no matter how you look at it.

I live in USA so it doesnt really matter for me. But i think MBC needs to think about the fans on this one...

Let's make next World Cup finals be played in some undisclosed stadium closed to the public so they don't get nervous. People can watch it from some sports bar.

This is so fucking ridiculous. Nerves? Man, that's the point of the finals. Not cracking under the pressure is what makes the different between a great player and a champion. Movie seemed so damn nervous on the finals vs Flash, and it did affect his game, but I bet if he was asked if he could go back in time and have the finals behind closed-doors he will say fuck no.

The whole experience of being in front of thousands of people, feeling the mouse slipping from your hand because of your own sweat, your heart threatening to break free from your chest, the glory you savor when you win, and the desolation that you feel when you lose, coming out hardened after shredding tears in front of your fans... That's the whole goddamn point, you fucking MBC morons!

Seriously, this is the fastest way to drive fans away from your ratings, and this is what we get from one of the most anticipated finals in a long time.

lol..........

so what happens when the winner's celebration starts. do they stream a VOD of the winning player's team stepping into the studio with champagne and give the trophy to the player in an empty room? lol and i guess they can skimp on confetti costs because its a much smaller studio. and the winner doesn't have to get "nervous" (lol) while delivering his victory speech. so many of the epic factors are gone now.

I can't believe South Korea is not a communist country. WTF is this. Well it's time for SC1 to die I guess. Let's hope SC2 won't be "korean".

You know it's old when they're playing on Space Odyssey.

you know it's old when they go gas before gate x_x

I think I want to see what MBC does with this before criticizing them too harshly. Maybe they'll do something awesome, but the chances of that are probably slim given their current record of screwing things up.

Am I the only one who feels it's retarded that they are putting the two most "fan-related stress"-free players in a stress-free finals while on the other hand the OGN organizers let a first-time royal roader be nearly eaten alive by a howling mob?

tl;dr both JD and Flash are already resilient to stress enough, they already don't notice if somebody is watching them play and don't need anything to be done about that.

That's pretty stupid, but I still get to see the games so w/e

I just hope this doesn't do damage to the MSL as an entity

why would anyone fucking go to the auditorium since its just the same seeing anywhere else.. -_-

oh fuck you MBC.

who cares about the players' being fully concentrated..
its about dealing with the PRESSURE of having THOUSANDS watching you
PLAY. if you even lose the damn concentration it means that you do not
cut it to be the CHAMPION.

talk about great finals atmosphere, heh.

fuck you again MBC -.-

In hindsight, just as many people will be on IRC, just as many on vent... this barely affects me at all.

Sucks for the Koreans but I don't really care that much.
