Woho! Kespa taking its natural expansion!

Nice to hear SC is going to more countries. Perhaps then we'll get better conditions for the players and teams, as well as more exposure for the sponsors.

Natural expo got TRIPLE GAS!


Is this an island map?

Not sure how this can be seen as a bad thing, if China get even more interested in the BW scene its only good for the world as a whole (though I doubt this is real).

do you guys recognise how many turned up for wcg last year in chengdu? it was at least over 100,000. this is a noble experiment by ogn (if it is true indeed) to expand outside of korea, and china seems the most logical choice.

First of all WCG is not just a Starcraft tournament. Many people were there to watch other games. In fact I think most Chinese were there to support their Warcraft 3 and FIFA players, though I could be wrong. But it makes sense since those were games which Chinese gamers could have a shot at winning.

Second it would sound a a bit more logical if this were an international event. OSL is 100% Korean. I highly doubt people would come only to watch two Korean kids playing Starcraft. Maybe the Chinese hardcore BW fans would, as for the rest I don't think so. If there were a Chinese player as a finalist this could happen because of nationalism though this is not what's happening.

Third, China might have a large Starcraft community (second only to Korea some might say), but it's still no where near Korea's, at least for Brood War. Maybe in SC2 they will surpass Korea we may never know.

But hey who are we to decide what OGN should do.

At least 50.000 people will come to watch, if SNSD or WG is coming to do the Opening of Finals lololol

Fixed =)

I'm still little skeptical about this. Getting a large fanbase is good, but generally Koreans do not like Chinese.... or other Asians around the area for that matter (I don't know but they just hate each other.... it's loosening up these days, but the tension still exists).

I'm highly skeptical of this news.

1) What does Korean Air have to with Shanghai
2) It'll be a big bitchslap to Korean fans
3) We all know what happened the last time Chinese Sources revealed something before a Korean Source did.

So no, highly doubt it.

I feel like the only way this can happen is if Blizzard somehow coerces (no doubt in a dubiously legal way) OGN to hold their finals outside of Korea, to promote SC2 perhaps?
EDIT: i mean promote SC2 within Korea, by stopping Koreans from going to the OSL finals
