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). THE BROOD WAR REVIVAL IS REAL Source: Daily Esports

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 | ||

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. | ||

If you consider the possibility of the people running OGN (I am being general as possible, I don't know what goes on in the station) may not know much about e-sports, it's definitely believable that BW was brought back in with minimal risks in mind. Great to see it growing back to it's former glory, and this only took one man to bring it all back. | ||

More logical reason: They may have been hedging their bets on a similar auditorium or something a bit larger for the finals, but the financial backing plus popularity led them to deciding to go with Jamsil as a tried and tested venue. | ||

It depends on how popular this one goes, but from the looks of it, seems that it's been going quite well. Finding an outside sponsor might be an issue, but maybe sonic is cool with sbenu to keep sponsoring them. | ||

God damn that's awesome. I hope there's enough interest from the foreign community that they might do live English casting on-site (I'd sure be interested in doing it once I arrive in Korea in August). | ||
