This is very hard to do and I am kind of impressed. | ||

I felt quite terrible for the organizers who paid for that venue to be held at and yet has to pay all the money despite not being able to show the game . Seriously who would have expected a typhoon to becoming launching its storms at shanghai today ? Despite earlier warning I don't think it is in kespa budget to hire another stadium just to ensure a plan b . | ||

Like, even if it was a rescheduling, I think they could've and should've handled this a lot better than the frantic yes/no/maybe as we're all scrambling on all fours to figure out what the flying hell is going on. In other news there's a massive storm here where I'm at as well - seems like the entire planet is pretty pissed tonight. | ||

I believe the korean 4chan is even worse than our 4chan. | ||

Nope, the effects of the internet are universal, it seems XD what? Have you not heard how some of these progamers are often abused and berated by so-called "fans"? Korean netizens have the same terrible manners as any other ethnicity, maybe even worse in some cases. Add that with the cultural xenophobia that exists between Chinese/Japanese/Koreans and it's a hodgepodge of racist hyperbole about the bastard Chinese ruining everything. | ||

Calm down man, no need to give off such a harsh tone. And the Korean netizens are mostly laughing at "KeSPA's fail" rather than bashing the Chinese government. Yeesh. | ||
