I wonder if it would be possible for blizzard to set up an outdoor viewing plaza for the GSL finals as well. You could easily get upwards of 5k viewers in addition to spreading a huge amount of awareness.

Like wow, chae, wow. I love you guys even more. I've never bought season tickets and always watched the free stream.

I'm going to buy a season ticket for the next GSL now.

I am really hard pressed to see how this can fit in two days. Not the GSL finals itself but how it impacts Blizzcon Invitational. Expect to miss out on most of the games.

Its just the finals no? I don´t see how this will have a hard time fitting.

Will buy a HD pass now in October as a result of this. Have to commend GOM for taking risks like this.

Oh man I would have f5'd the Blizzcon ticket line if I had known about this before hand. DARN!

But be prepared to have an amazing crowd, hopefully the games don't fall under the GSL Finals curse.

Kind of sad for korean fans. It's really important they get their events as well so the fanbase can develop.

Hopefully this gets timed to be the Blizzard Cup finals and not a Code S finals.

Edit: Just read the OP again, Blizzard Cup finals will be the one at Blizzcon!

Hopefully they bring this coverage through GomTV and not Blizzcon's ish. Last thing I want to see is Blizzard taint a GSL finals. Hopefully they can be inspired by the map pool too. One can hope right?

Amazing decision, and one that hopefully will set the precedent for integration of eSports inside and outside of Korea. Can't wait!

Dear GOM, everything you do is very nice and very great for the whole community but you should seriously consider hiring someone who can speak English and Korean really well. Thank you.
