Apparently the Chinese fans were confused at seeing the cancellation signboard notice and stood around for a while, wondering why the games weren't starting when there apparently wasn't a drop of rain in the air. Lots of the fans who came to Shanghai and paid for the trip out of their own pockets are really disappointed and can't believe that the finals were canceled due to the weather, when apparently it's a nice day outside in Shanghai. I feel so bad for the Chinese fans. That really sucks........ | ||

I feel so bad for the Chinese fans. We're a bunch of TLers at my apartment, we're just back from the venue, and there's no sign of typhoon whatsoever... We're just so disappointed, a few of us even flew from Beijing to see the finals. That just plain sucks. | ||

The list will only be announced on Monday by Kespa. + Show Spoiler + On August 06 2011 20:09 Fionn wrote: Well, KT and SKT1 are the richest teams. Couple that with MBC Hero in disaster, STX wanting to trade everyone, and everything else going down, I wouldn't be shocked if both teams add come Monday. Would be shocked if KT lost Flash or SKT1 lost Best, though. Only way Flash leaves KT is another team has built him a new wrist. It doesn't work this way. Don't post misinformation. They're just going to release the list of players who qualify for Free Agency on Monday. Negotiations between players and teams end only in late August/early September. | ||

Those people will soon realize that there's no one really to blame, unless you want to blame the typhoon for striking on the day of the finals or KeSPA's apparently poor planning/handling of the situation. But really, it was just a bunch of unfortunate events all colliding into each other at the same time. :| The government cancelling completely voluntary private business that harms no one, at a whim of their finger, with complete disregard for the forgone commerce it will cause. I think no matter what way you look at it, the facts remain the same: in absence of the action government currently took, the finals wouldve happened as planned, without problems. As such, it necessarily follows that any arguments of guilt existing outside the choice of government action, must be incorrect. | ||

Unfortunately the games were cancelled was also there and we were already talked about this while waitign still hoping the games would start if the typhoon struck and 5 ppl died because some projectors or other crap fell down from the stage the chinese government would be the one to blame... its only logical they cancelled :{ any responsible government woulda done so... weather is still fine now tho at 11 pm... woulda been perfect for finals T_T | ||

Hence a completely neutral government stance could not imply existance of government liability towards the hypothesis in question. It must instead be assumed that the action related to incident at hand, must be looked at as the causal root of liability.Unfortunately the games were cancelled was also there and we were already talked about this while waitign still hoping the games would start if the typhoon struck and 5 ppl died because some projectors or other crap fell down from the stage the chinese government would be the one to blame... its only logical they cancelled :{ any responsible government woulda done so... weather is still fine now tho at 11 pm... woulda been perfect for finals T_T | ||

And it really seemed like we were in the huge dark getting giant mixed signals from the people. I think the ONLY fault of kespa, is having absolutely no backup plan (an indoor venue they can move to, or something of that effect) How about i put you as a position in kespa shoes organizing the said event everything was going right until the 5th that is 2 days before proleague finals and tell you that oh you should cancel your event because typhoon is going to come and tear off your stage . Seriously unless you kespa is president of china or what so ever do you think they can generate resources over a limited that is given to them . I don't get it you guys were saying as though kespa knew months a go that a freaking freak typhoon is going to hit them on the 5th ,6th and on the 7th . Nobody was prepared to face this situation and I can tell you even though they may have some plan b seriously in shanghai are there any alternatives that have extra indoor halls for their event and to rent in a such a short time ? I don't think so . Don't blame kespa and stop blaming everyone no was in fault in this kind of situation. | ||
