I wonder if the Finals will have more people this time? Last time they hosted the OSL there it seemed like there weren't that many people because it was badly advertised and the like. | ||

Especially for fans of the team seeded into first (cough T1), who never get to see a playoff match in person. For all the investment the sponsor companies put into the teams, sometimes they make decisions that really endanger its future. | ||

The entire scene provides a relatively low cost channel to promote all sorts of consumer goods and services to the Korean fanbase: phone service, gadgets, online games, airlines, clothing, beverages, and more - and many of the ads are linked to the team sponsors themselves. Making moves to damage the fans' enthusiasm could kill off their golden goose. I can understand them trying to develop an audience elsewhere...but with the damn PL finals? The culmination of an entire year's worth of games? You've got professional leagues all over the world holding exhibition games abroad, but not their damn finals. I'd be insulted if I was a Korean fan. I'm practically angry, sitting here and reading this news. | ||
