I thought he meant the GSL finals held in America was much larger than all the GSL finals held in Korea, so that the turning point was the possibility of a shift towards the West being the main place for esports in the future.

If not, then yeah, your pic says it all!

I was actually trying to find this picture and say the exact thing. -_-

I really thought they would be there at least to test and give some feedback of HoTS or something, but this? Pretty anti climatic if you ask me.

As I thought Blizzard was trying to show the potential SC2 has to KESPA + a few key players.

People of course will overreact to this stupidly.

Honestly, the Blizzcon crowd looked about the same size... plus the article meant the attendance was bigger than all of the GSL's in Korea, also the pic was from 2007.

Uh, you haven't figured out that this is an OUTDOOR crowd? We're talking enough people to fill up a stadium here.

The pic is relevant as criticism to the article. Statements such as ''Exposing players raised on those experiences to the full-force of an American sports crowd must’ve been an impressive experience.'' are just weird.

1) I believe we have enough events going on right now between the GSL and various foreign tournaments such as MLG, IPL, blizzcon, Dreamhack. While GSL may remain the same in terms of frequency and schedules, MLG is already working to organize more events throughout the year.

Do not overdo it. We really do not need kespa to run another league of its own unless the current pool of progamer increases two fold. SC2 still has room to grow, but walk steadily. Run and the scene may trip over itself and fall face flat on the ground.

2) I still like BW. I do not want the BW teams to switch over to SC2. I am fine if kespa allows the current BW teams to have a sc2 division IF it does not interfere with the fragile state of BW.

I really do wish there is a BW:HD project where an updated BW graphics client can interact with the old client. This way the old pros can still play in an environment they are familiar with, while introducing new audiences to BW.

Highest attendance for PL final : 120 000. There were 40000 in 2010, less this year because of this typhoon problem in China...
Plus most people who attend blizzcon play WoW.

That probably has a lot do with the fact that the finals were held at Blizzcon, which always has a million attendees.
