That is gonna be so awesome, thank you for doing this Mr. Chae, I can't wait. Also I think it so cool that you give away a season ticket, for TArujo since he guessed correct. I hope that it will be a big succes, and I love that you wan't to spread e-Sports to the rest of the world - thank you from Denmark, this is gonna be epic.

am I wrong in saying that BlizzCon tends to be dominated by WoW players?
listen to this pitiful crowd noise from BlizzCon 2010
Starcraft 2 has blown up so much since then
found BlizzCon 2010 SC2 crowd
I was there last year and you're missing the whole picture. First of all, those mics weren't picking up the crowd noise. The crowd was very loud in person. Secondly, the SC2 finals were just before the closing ceremony. Typically the closing ceremony is really hard to get seats for so people generally camp in the main hall for a few hours to save seats. They had screens on in the main hall so that people could watch the SC2 finals from there as well. Therefore, you have to take the crowd you see and multiply it by at least two, if not more. Plus, last year, they botched the tournament badly. Like MLG Dallas style. They were showing like one game every couple hours. When there's so much to do at the convention, that means people were not sitting in their seats for the whole time. If you put something like GSL Finals in its own timeslot not competing with anything else, then it's going to draw the vast majority of the convention and it will be ridiculously hugely attended. It would easily fill the main hall.
And, while there are a sizable number of WoW players that attend Blizzcon, I think after the year that SC2 has had, it will have even more of a following there. It should be pretty sick loud there.
Wow that's crazy stuff wish I lived near California, sounds like a huge treat to those that can make it so I'm sure they will have a sick time! I hope they use GOM's stream still and not Blizzcon's because those are fail in comparison, can't wait to see some great games.
