Well, good thing I couldn't make it anyway, or else I'd be going mad right now Typhoons like this are pretty normal in Shanghai. The PL finals are canceled because of this? That's a joke! I feel sorry for the guys who planned big celebrations Wow there's no way this is real They could still hold it in china, just delay it... maybe next weekend :/ | ||

因台风突袭申城，为保障SPL10-11总决赛观众的观赛安全，现正紧急与韩方协同制预案，请大家随时关注游戏风云官网或微博，我们将在确定后的第一时间发布通知。对您造成的不便，敬请谅解！ Due to typhoon, and for the safety of SPL10-11's attendees, we are presently working with our Korean patterns for (alternative) plans. The 2nd tweet was posted by the OP, announcing the cancellation. Oh well, sleep time~ | ||

KT and SKT1 would have to pay to stay in China for an extra week? Also don't a lot of players, like Flash, become free agents in a day or two? A lot of players won't even have contracts with their team. | ||

They could delay things, the players would get to vacantion/practice in china for a week, then finals next weekend and everyone flies back. STX masters could get rescheduled. I doubt they'd want to move it to Korea after arranging this whole deal with China (and the fact that KeSPA really needs this expansion in order for bw to survive). | ||

And what if there is going to be power outage?!?! Its better fir the fans to play with no audience than to CANCEL the event. The OP said the event is CANCELED. Unless the event can be rescheduled in the near future, the opportunity cost of simply broadcasting it live (In a secure building, whatever) and providing people who purchased tickets and who traveled all the way to Shanghai for the finals with some sort of alternative to the normal event will exceed that of postponing the finals until after the long storm and upsetting people who went out of their way for the final. It was well advertised there would be weather conflicts this weekend, so there should be a backup plan. | ||
