Their abilities aside, XD=Love is the most well known (and generally most well liked) commentator, and XiaoSe runs NeoTV. It's a matter of reputation here, since words that come out of their mouth are essentially equivalent to official position of NeoTV/PLU.
XD=Love also coaches China's national BW team.

That's so sick. Hopefully this becomes a reality, because after WCG 2009, any esports in China would be insane. Hopefully they give the koreans discounts on their flight as well, though.

Here's a much more reliable source:
http://www.wfbrood.com/xingji/hanguoxingji/xingji_53714.html
根据刚刚结束的NeoTV直播的OSL中提到，这次OSL决赛将由NeoTV和OGN在9月11号上海东方明珠上共同举办，期间OGN还将和NeoTV一起打造WCG10周年庆典活动，感谢NeoTV为OSL能来中国举办所做的大力工作，让中国玩家能够亲身享受这场星际的饕餮盛宴。9月11日，东方明珠，不见不散。
During the OSL broadcast on NeoTV, it has been confirmed that this season's OSL final will be co-hosted by OGN and NeoTV, on Sept. 11, in Shanghai, at the Oriental Pearl. During this time, OGN and NeoTV will also organize a celebratory event for the 10th WCG. Thank you NeoTV blah blah blah [unimportant stuff].

That's just a repost; Wfbrood basically is a compendium of information from other sites, it's no more or less reliable than its sources :3

More reliable in a sense that we can confirm that this has been announced on NeoTV.

Oops, didn't read that you've already said that a few posts above.

i've been watching the chinese streams and all of this is just chatter, nothing official or endorsed, basically, the only thing these rumors has going for them is that the first OSL intro had effort half naked with wings standing on the oriental pearl.....then again the first korean air osl had flash standing in an airplane hanger.
But the logistics of having a korean sc final in china... especially at the oriental pearl doesnt seem very probable. What is more likely is maybe holding it at the world's expo in shanghai, the amount of people that go there is like 400,000 per day, and it has it's own stadium. This could be good for spreading esports, and if you want something to be big, you get chinese people to follow it, but then again, how is korean air planning on getting all the koreans over?

Hopefully there will be Chinese commentators with level of enthusiasm that is equal to Korean commentators.
