SSL10 was originally to be held at Yongsan Esports Stadium from Ro16 onwards and throughout the rest of the competition.

Due to the huge live audience turnout and soaring TV viewership ratings, OGN in collaboration with Sonic have decided to change the venue for the finals of SSL10 to Jamsil Students' Gymnasium.

Date of the finals has also been set to 15th Feb 2015 (Sunday).

Fun note is that this venue was also the same location for very last Tving OSL back in 2012....

Also based on schedule images and screenshot shown during SSL10 ro16 Day 6, 3rd place match is held on a different day.

Chances are 3rd place match will occur at OGN stadium.

Not explicitly mentioned in the article, but since the older BW OSLs and SSLs have those, high chance they will bring 3rd/4th place match back, also unsure if same day or not

Edit: see quickstriker post above

This seems slightly silly (in a good way), and looks to me like marketing.

Are you telling me that, despite the fact that even the Afreeca-only SSL9 finals were held in large auditorium that was pretty much full, OGN was initially planning to just hold their finals in the Yongsan E-sports Stadium? Now, when it's back on TV and reaching everyone?! No fricking way am I gonna believe that.

Obviously I'm happy about the "huge turnout and soaring TV viewership ratings", but this was planned from day 1.

Because this happens to lie on an American federal working holiday, I might be able to actually pull the impossible and fly out there. Highly considering it.
