How is that relevant to whether the crowd stays 5 more minutes to watch the award being given?

I hope everyone saw how well the "E-sports sofa" worked and someone (like the big tournaments) start having a more studio like atmosphere with separate commentators and "show hosts".

Fantastic tournament.
One of the best of the year.
Would have been wonderful to have a few more top tier Koreans there, but despite their few numbers they still showcase their superior game play.
4 Koreans in finals bracket, 0 lose to foreigners.
What? Who are these 4 Koreans? HerO, DRG, PuMa. Isn't that only 3? Also, Select wasn't in the finals bracket right?

I don't think Hero will betray us like He Who Shall Not Be Named and go to EG. . . but if it happens, there will be a nerd-rage beyond anything the universe has ever seen lol We have to wait for a counter on the EG site and we know it.
If anyone does take HerO it will be Korean-based team that is affiliated with another one.
EG won't lay one hand on HerO.

People are exaggerating and pretend they are all batman and need to leave ASAP and can't stay 5 more minutes to show respect for the players.

Just noticed something.
The last major tournament that a foreign Terran won was TSL3 by Thorzain... There are still very few major events won by foreigners. Not sure if I'm missing someone, but basically that's to say that Huk, Stephano and Idra aren't Terran (and Naniwa, if we count the invitational at MLG). That's just a very small number of people.

Agreed. However, I do want to emphasize that I feel MLG should be stationary in SoCal. I'm not being biased here as I don't live in Socal. But the crowd in Anaheim/LA is just unmatched in SC2 and they always pack the venues. I don't understand the point of the traveling thing, it doesn't do much for the business IMO.
Traveling allows all players to be able to make it out to at least one MLG if they live in the US generally. Gives everyone a shot. Also, MLG usually stays on the east coast because more CoD and Halo teams live on the east coast.

75 percent of the crowd was standing throughout all of MLG.
Of course they are going to leave when it is done. Car is the only place to sit FFS.

Going for ghosts before medivacs isnt? shiet man get ur shit together.
Going for double forge as fast as he did is a massive corner cut, it's not allinish, I consider it more abusive then lets say, a hidden early 3rd, I am not saying it's not legitimate, I just don't like gambles and knowing that the opponent can straight up kill you if he spots it is a gamble, you seem to confuse abusive play with allins.
