Though maybe some of the local casters (from the gsl) might take over? | ||

Providing coverage for non-Koreans is fairly low on their list of priorities. It's also very poorly organised. I attended last year's IeSF in Daegu, Korea as a wc3 player and I can confirm this. However, I have to disagree (to a certain extent) about the organisation of the tournament. The flight, hotel and schedule were all arranged perfectly and we had no issues with that. The tournament itself however, was a bit of a disappointment as they did not seem to care about feedback they recieved from the players. We were not allowed to watch each-others games, not even as an observer on a different side of the room. We talked to the admins numerous times about this, but the 'big bosses' so to say were stubborn and clinged to their rules. There was a really nice female admin though who totally understood our pain and tried her hardest to get things changed, but they would not even listen to her as well =( There was a small games market at the venue at which we could spend some time but you saw it all if you spent 2 hours there. They expected us to show up at the venue every day, even though we weren't allowed to watch any games whatsoever (and would be wasting our time pointlessly there), and would get upset when we did not show up or wanted to leave early! They also seemed to have quite a bit of pointless meetings, about promoting esports and how to make esports known to the general public but to be honest i had a feeling it was all a farce. If all the time spent on these meetings was actually put to good use, I am sure IeSF would be an amazing tournament. The most important part of an esport tournament is providing actual live coverage and promote the event on the various community sites to make the tournament more known. Especially if they want to promote the host city. For example when you would be broadcasting this tournament online live, you could create a small video clip that would be shown at the start of each day or in between matches showing the host city and it's surrounding area while telling something about it's history and the various places you could visit if you go there. If promoting the city really was their purpose, this is the way to go! I still had a blast at last year's IeSF and I would love to go there again, however there should be more emphasis on the actual tournament itself. The host city would get even better international promotion as well. It doesn't cost much to get one lousy caster to fly over (I am available if you need me! xD) and to get your message to reach the international public as well. | ||

3 players in a group, you play a single game (Bo1) against the two others in your group and top 2 advance. After so many qualifier tournaments in each nation, some spanning months, after flying 12+ hours to Korea all the player gets is 2 Bo1s ? In my eyes this is worse than the admins not caring about the international audience. This is mistreating professional players who worked very hard to get to this final event. | ||

The good news is that they will have live coverage. The bad news is that they will only show the finals of "AVA" and "FIFA". Very sad coverage. | ||
