Besides I'm very happy this wasn't the PL finals I went to see live, imagine the frustration of going around the world to end up stuck on a typhoon alert.  Hope the korean fans show where it belongs to.
Thing is, if FlaSh's wrist can be managed.. he's probably worth twice his current (very high) salary.

the original link does not work, can you comfire this new?

Oh man, the Chinese were very excited to see the BW stars in RLm I know a lot of people who sort of quit BW gained interest again.. Many ppl knew that there was a typhoon coming and still went anyway.
I guess this is the end of Kespa's BW push in China 
Man, everyone in China is a Bisu/Flash/JD fan...

We are very attracted to winning in Chinese culture.
To give you an idea, players won't even compete in international tourneys if they don't think they have at least a 50/50 getting to semis.

DES for some reason isn't working right now and didn't work 2 hours ago as well, but I'm pretty positive that the news is confirmed.
Another Korean member saw the headline as well:

Storks has a huge fan base in China too, but it's just amazing that everyone like Bisu in China not matter what team/player they support. With the current bonjwa and JD on stage, this was showing all the signs of an epic turn out. The forum interaction has substantially also increases in plu so the Chinese fans are excited.
Don't blame Kespa because they were doing this to save BW.
Don't Blame China Gov for cancelling the final due to safety reason. because it would caused a Asia Spring if Bisu is hurt during the typhoon.
Don't blame the organisers cause they may never find the sponsorship to do this again.

Think about Yellow, who put his own money to buy the tickets to Shanghai, and now... Poor guy, without a job and threw away the money for nothing.

Yellow is with GOM/GSL now. He's doing something called Project A. He's gonna end up as a commentator or a player in SC2.

Shit. This was a great chance for BW expansion, it was looking strong... and now this. Fuck. The game has to grow, or it can't last.

I flew to shanghai for the sole purpose of watching the grand finals, my first, and possibly my last grand finals, with jaedong, tossgirl and yellow attending as guests, and also as the send off for two of the best coaches in BW history, and I get there to find out it's cancelled, and leave two hours later to find out it hasn't even rained a single drop yet, and that the finals are not going to be held in china anymore, but in korea.
...thanks kespa, thanks
ok maybe it's not entirely their fault
...FFFFUUUU TYPHOON THAT NEVER CAME

Wow, that's horrible. I really feel for you man.

They better have some kind of SKTvKT exhibition match for the Fans that travelled all the way to Shanghai. I mean SKT and KT can't just come and leave like that.
God damn it. Do it via stream if you have to. Do something!

this really sucks.
the event should have been canceled days ago, before anybody showed up. we knew about the typhoon well in advance. if they were going to cancel without a drop of rain, why wait?

good good. i'll be home in 2 weeks
this gives more time for flash to recover too

So this means teams are gonna play with their "new" lineups?
That is gonna be so odd. new lineups? did i miss something? did some players join new teams or something? Contracts are running out on monday. Many players from teams are gonna be free agents including flash and best. Possible team switches for players.
Flash is getting loose from his team? Omg thats quite huge, wonder where he'll end up O.O he belongs in KT Magicians (Rolster) imo

Prevention is better than cure. It's a natural disaster, very hard to predict when it comes. You do not want the event to be interrupted halfway and plus, it's an injury-prone disaster.
