 How are they going to get observers? There's no observers functionality in SC2 yet. There most definitely is observer functionality in SC2 now. People can enter a game as an observer, in which case they have access to all the "stations" and such that you'd have when watching a replay. | ||

Don't get me wrong, I think Blizzard is doing phenomenal overall, and I'm psyched to see all this money and effort go into SC2, but doesn't server wide online tournaments for smaller prize pools which we still will jump all over make more sense? Obviously offline qualifiers are incredibly more work to set up, and surely they realized this will drastically reduce the foreigner participation, so what was the reasoning behind these decisions? Did the region lock potentially interfere with Blizzard's own plans for a truly Global e-sport event? Perhaps Blizzard will surprise us yet again and contact top foreigner players to fly them out to Seoul for this, but still there'd be questions as to how those players were selected. While it is thrilling to see such big steps taken for SC2, it would seem that after the big fight Blizzard went through to maintain control of SC2 e-sports, GomTV did most of the setup for this tournament. | ||

For all we know the next Bisu or Flash is practicing like mad right now :p Anyone with experience from televised matches will have a head start too... | ||

-Players cannot chat unless they are surrendering the game. Has that always been the case in the Korean leagues? I feel like we might lose some of the personality of the players by not getting to see their mannerisms. Also does this prevent the gl hf at match start too? | ||
