There are a lot of bigger outdoor venues in Shanghai, too. Even in the vicinity of Nanjing Road. I still don't know why they chose to have it there X_X

Damn. They're already organizing a draw to get free entrance tickets. I'm not sure how they're going to restrict the access since its in the middle of the street T_T

I guess it will be like OSL finals, anyone can watch for free, but people with tickets get a free Proleague gift or something.

It's gonna be such a mess... Flash really needed his 20 bodyguards at the OSL finals, and I think Bisu is even more popular than Flash here. So if we have both Bisu and Flash...

Yeah, seriously wtf, you know how Chinese bystanders behave... Nanjing road is not that wide there, starcraft fans will be outnumbered by bystanders in a 1:10 ratio at least...

We need a backup plan. Lemme find a Korean interpret and make a TL press card, and we get VIP seats.


Bah, gonna be back in the states, remember?

X_X

But yes, get VIP seating and take lots of pictures! ....then send them to me so I can photoshop myself in ;D


If that's enough for you, well, you can say you already met Tossgirl.

Jiashan beach would have been really perfect. (see GTR's pic earlier in the thread).

Beach like Gwang An Ri. No Bystanders, only fans. Lot of space.

It was probably chosen because of the iconic location of Nanjing road, same reason why OGN chose the Oriental Pearl Tower for the Korean Air 2 OSL final.

It was part of an interview the secretary-general of Kespa did about the Shanghai finals published yesterday in the lead-up to the PL final. The relevant sentence about SC2 was "We think that SC2 is also one of the excellent games in the esports scene. Through close cooperation with Blizzard Entertainment, we will nurture more star players from SC2".

From his answers, it seems to me that Kespa will continue to grow BW while eventually also entering SC2 at some point in the future, in some shape or form.

Other notable points:
-Kespa might start a Chinese website for PL
-They want to spread the "culture" of SPL to China.

It's not dying. They wouldn't invest money in expanding an industry that has no potential for growth.

Wow huge. I do think Blizzard should cooperate with KeSPA and give them rights to cast SC2.

One league in SC2 is just too little in South Korea (out of hundreds of players who compete in the GSL [either Code B, Code A, etc), only the top 32 Code S players really receive anything. Having another league in Korea would help (though a KeSPA SC2 league in China wouldn't be bad either).

You're spot on the money. As much disdain is thrown towards Kespa (lol ppp), they however have a good solid system with the PL/OSL/MSL that gives all aspiring players a decent chance to get exposure. Gom is doing a decent job with SC2 given the smaller market and them managing nearly everything though it is quite difficult for new players to get in because the Code-A qualifiers are insanely difficult and other chance is to get picked up by a team

The extended exposure of BW into the rest of China is awesome. It does make sense given BW's popularity there and anything that makes BW bigger is good

Maybe I can watch the games on TV now instead of computer!!!

And maybe China can start its own BW team to compete in the SPL!!

What the hell that chinese website shop.gamefy.cn it requested a chinese name and chinese ID to register after which it was possible to buy a ticket. How the hell am i supposed to have this if i am foreigner and we do not have 15 digits in our IDs? That is sick why kespa did allow a foreign organization to perform the ticket sale. Now i am messed up, only because i am not chinese. That is totaly unfair.

Is it just me, or does it seem extremely upsetting especially among Koreans to follow the games all season long only not to be able to see it because it will be held in another country? Unless you can shell out the plane tickets.
Ra!
