Short Summary
For the first time in Proleague history, the traditional grand final venue of Gwangahli Beach in Busan has been retired in favor of moving this seasons Proleague Grand Final to Shanghai, China. The finals will be held on August the 6th.

The finals will be broadcast on a record number of cable channels, including OGN, XTM (owned by CJ), MBCgame, and local Shanghai cable channels.

Some other stuff I don't see that's relevant... I'll let someone else handle it.

I seem to have bad luck with events... MLG Anaheim ends right when I get back to Cali and Proleague Finals are right after I leave China.

I do wonder what made them decide to hold another finals in China though.

This is going to be such a huge failure if they can't get enough spectators to live up to the previous finals.

I am assuming it is just the finals not the playoffs? *Sigh* not very likely I would be able to see KHAN play either way...

Yeah it was like omfg cool place cool pla-ohwait theres like legit no-one there and theres like at least double the people inside standing outside the place.... oh well I'm pretty sure they realized that, I am optimistic about it.
Yeah I do believe its still fairly decent in china because of star wars and the like. China's scene has always been one of fluctuation I feel like.
