The venue of the grand finals is far from downtown. I don't know where they put all players to stay. The only non-five-star and the closest hotel from the venue is a Holiday Inn. It's like $70 to $100 to get a room (for 2 persons).

Go eLong (online travel agency)
http://www.elong.net/hotels/details.aspx?m=rate&hotelid=52301032

or Holiday Inn site
http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/hi/1/en/hotel-directory/china/chengdu

If you want to find some really cheap hotel (not close to the venue), go Ctrip to find one you like

Some other recommendation from WCG site:

For budget hotels, Home Inns is my recommendation. You can get a decent room for $30 (not five-star decent -_-). Too bad they don't have the online reservation service in English. I found two in downtown, which are also easy to get a taxi to the venue.

Reservation numbers are: (Hopefully they have English-speaking operators ;o)

I just returned from China (Shanghai, Xian and Beijing) and would highly recommend Home Inns as tourist accommodation over in China. They're relatively cheap, room size varies from city to city but clean and organized.

Ask someone who knows Chinese to book a room for you over the internet (no deposit needed), print out the confirmation receipt and give it to the taxi driver and you're done .
if it aint broke, dont fix it

I'm staying at the Home Inn at 成都新南门店 (Chengdu Xin Nan Men location) from November 10 to 16. I'll be happy to help anyone out finding tasty treats, the venue, or anything else which might tickle your fancy.

Update

You have to buy a ticket for the finals. RMB50 ($7.5) for one day pass or RMB150 ($22) for full 4-day pass. This sounds odd to me. Can't really recall any finals that asked for paid tickets before. Anyway, this is what I got from the organizers. Go buy the tickets at:
http://www.ticketmaster.cn/event_en_2146.html

edit, tried the online ordering myself, no any foreign credit card is supported, no VISA, no Mastercard -_-;; Guess foreign spectators have to buy tickets on site.

Last year, in germany, tickets had to be paid too.

Getting a Press Pass was pretty easy though.

About 2400km and 36 hours on the train ;o

Take a flight in Shenzhen, it should be cheap since it's not the tour season. Got round trip tickets Chengdu/Shenzhen for RMB1000 few months ago.

I was just judging on whether or not it would be worth it. I'd also have to get a mainland visa, which is like $130 because I'm American, and I'd only be able to make it for Saturday and Sunday because of school...

Probably won't end up going, oh well.
