awesome! I'm still wondering if they can fill that however it is free admission after all and at decent timing. I think if he can send out the message to a lot of people, they'll be able to fill it np!

Is the SSL that popular in Korea? It'd be crazy if they can fill it up.

Last time there was right around 1000 people attending.
IF we get a non-mirror maybe they can make it somewhat work? I cannot hope for 7000 people to show up, but im really hoping it will !

Blizzard games are awesome... Even in death, their reign is eternal.

Edit: Just kidding, Brood War and all their older games aren't dead, in fact they're very well alive and are improving a lot lately.

That remains to be seen ^^

To put some things into perspective, Ro16 of SSL8 had over 15k viewers on Afreeca which is more than SSL7 Grand Finals, so the numbers are definitely growing. To be honest, I'd be happy even if just floor seats are filled, which is around ~1,500 people!

It would be amazing if they could fill it, but kinda sad to see empty sections. I'm not as brave as they are, so I wish they picked a smaller venue.

a tear is running down my lips.

if they can make those bw vips come from the now sc2 team houses and kim carrier can make ogn to broadcast it (pretty unrealistic but not totally, if it gets hyped quite a lot in the next few weeks. this announcement triggers some attention for sure in media and then people and then media again), then bw might truly come back.

Crazy how an amateur lueague can suddenly afford to hold their finals in a stadium, Korean #esports are truly on another level.
