Will be interesting to see the actual turn-out at each event over in korea.


Thing is that physical turnout is the biggest metric that matters with an event like this, with them renting out such a big venue and trying to make a statement about the state of brood war. You don't wanna jeopardize that by overlapping with something else.

What percentage of esports fans actually like both games on similar levels and feel like they have to choose between the two?

for me i'm bummed. i planned to have a viewing for the ssl finals, but because it clashed with the gsl finals i've been forced to cancel it because everyone who was interested in going will be at barcraft for the gsl finals instead.

barcraft is a totally different population though.

ssl has been able to grab 10k or so viewers before, I highly doubt those 10k koreans living in korea are as torn between the two--the main question is whether people can come with the subway lines closing (that happened ssl7 when lots of people left) and whether ~15% of ssl fans will go to the finals. No idea if this is entrance exam season [ninjaedit: apparently thats november], universities in session, etc.

my elite google skills says the subway stop is same line (line 1) as yongsan and is 35 minutes by rail. I have no idea where the population of seoul is spread out but it seems kwangwoon isn't a bad spot, plus as an engineering college i'm sure a good bit of its undergrad will go as well (maybe 200 out of 10k undergrad?; that would supply 10% of what sonic needs). Assuming they aren't all exclusively LoL fans

Because when you left, Brood War was all spotlights and titans. Now, with the death of the big leagues, Brood War has moved to the basements and carparks. Now, Brood War is unlicensed brawls, lost teeth, and bloody fights for fistfulls of money - SirJolt

I dont know why people here is so worried about being in the same time that GSL, the main target for this event is the Korea pop, and BW is still by far more popular than SC2 over there, the foreign viewers havent been that big and important anyway, besides ZvT finals are going to be amazing.
