I've read articles on korean newspaper websites about newly rich chinese people (from their economic growth) going to korea for kpop concerts, visit korean drama shooting locations, plastic surgery, etc etc It goes both ways, it's not some unilateral movement from one country to another. | ||

That way first match could be held at Shanghai, and the rest held in the Holy Land of Gwangahnri Beach. I was always kinda annoyed at how last year's PL final was only Bo1 series anyways. That's a good idea but preparing two venue is probably impossible | ||

The OSL final had 300 people in the audience, the PL final usually has like 30,000 or more. There will be a serious problem if the biggest event in all of esports has an attendance lower than some PL matches. | ||

Even without any Chinese fan, if the venue of the final is below 1000 people. Korean people in Shanghai will fill that up easily. I am leaving Shanghai in July, fuk damn, no PL final for me T_T. | ||

so gamefy is saying that OGN is planning a new esports league in China, details of which remain secretive for now. Some are speculating a kespa sc2 league since BW in China is pretty much dead. But Kespa doesn't have the right to hold sc2 league so I don't know. | ||

It is also huge in the region ( southeast asia, russia) and they might anticipate the release of dota 2. But does Blizzard have some control over DotA rights since it's technically a mod of WC3? I'm not very familiar with these legal technicalities. Although GOM has the rights to SC2 in Korea, do those rights extend to Korean organizations trying to arrange for SC2 leagues and broadcasts outside of Korea? Anyways, this news is great for Chinese fans but quite disappointing for Korean fans. I'm sure the event will draw hordes of Chinese spectators and some hardcore Korean fans, but I dislike the notion of holding such a high-profile event outside of Korea. | ||
