that said.. if the capacity was only going to 250.... and with Rifkin from British Columbia ..and Vancouver having a grand total of zero major Starcraft events up until this point.... as much as i like stickin' it to Vancouver every chance i get... couldn't Rifkin have found a venue in Vancouver with a capacity of 250+ ? with Vancouver having never gotten a major event he could've charged big money for tickets. i'm happy, but i feel bad for people in BC and Alberta.. and even Saskatoon.

I feel bad for people from Saskatoon too, no one should have to suffer that fate. And yes, I've harped on this before but there's no reason this should have not been in Vancouver. Instead of Vancouver getting it's first real event, Toronto gets it's like 7th large event. And the western half of this country is left out once again. | ||

At least Saskatoon has a really cool song... also, Saskatoon is where the first ever Canadian WWF Champion Bret Hart won his first title... | ||

Sorry it wasn't in Vancouver, or San Fran, or Detroit, or anywhere else, but this is where it is. If there's a second event, or you feel up to contacting IEM/DH/WCS, you can appeal to us/them on how Vancouver would be the better option. Also supernovaknt, you're an idiot. | ||

Toronto is an esports hub in the western hemisphere so the tournament would only logically be in Toronto instead of some backwater province. | ||

Also supernovaknt, you're an idiot. soulja grub tell em i too understand that people from left-out cities feel frustration at not getting events, but like... that's life? movies open in LA and NY first because they're LA and NY. big cities are big, they're attractive and sensible places for events. yah it's a decent thing to do to spread things around and show appreciation for other locales, but like... this is basetrade's first time doing this... i don't think they really owe vancouver anything. i think they owe their fans a good show for raising the money, and if toronto is where they feel they can put on the best show then that's what they should do literally any place on earth can complain about not getting events, at the end of the day no one "deserves" it more than anyone else it's just a matter of practicality. what about the poor starcraft fans in nairobi? life ain't always fair. if anyone should be taking the initiative on bringing events to new esports markets it should be someone like ESL or redbull | ||

Rifkin was recently asked what game he'll switch to when Starcraft's popularity wanes. He replied by saying he only wants to do STarcraft... if Starcraft events no longer generate sufficient viewers he is not switching to some other game. this is why Rifkin is awesome... because he truly loves Starcraft and RTS and isn't going to become a Hearthstone or Heroes broadcaster the nano-second it becomes a financial advantage. if other casters have "other commitments" to games that are not RTS... .its probably best for everyone that they are not at the event. so , to me, these developments makes the caster's desk KICK ASS. I'd like to conclude with a song about living your passion...

I mean there's no Canadian or ESPORTS law saying that big cities in a given country should be given the same amount of ESPORTS events? | ||
