Shanghai daily said all outdoor events have been cancelled or delayed, the only issue right now is:

1. Are we going to delay the player's contract terms, so we can keep them a small time longer?
2. Are we going to play by the rules and have the finals now, without an audience?

Looks like we have to wait and see.

Definitely not if you ask me. The whole event is for the fans.. And would it be GRAND FINALS without audience? Hell no.

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.


the event refers to the SPL in China, not SPL final.

Well, good point. Still would suck without any audience.

:\ Stayed up for this so I'm sad.

I'm curious about what will happen if it's not played out in time for contracts to be up as well. Also hoped to catch what Flash wanted to say after the games. This sucks even worse for those who flew out on their own. Hopefully there's an update on the alternate plan soon.

They should go ahead with it in an indoors venue. There would still be an audience, albeit a much smaller one because Kespa flew over many supporters and VIP guests from Korea. They've also arranged for a few hundred fans to watch this live in CGV cinemas in Korea.

I'm guessing they must. They knew ahead of time that there might be weather issues. Even if the venue was held in Korea, they must have a contingent plan right???

It... almost makes my heart break seeing all that hard work and preparation being taken down.

They've left hundreds of disappointed BW fans today.

No confirmation from Korean sites yet. Figures, since they usually love to post things at the last minute.
