Cali gets everything!!!! Damn. Well this is still incredible news! Showing how much GSL realizes how much the foreigners love the Korean players and watching them.

Yea as alot of other people said, this would be a pretty terrible crowd and it would suck for the people that live close and want to go there but cant because the tickets sell out all the time/so fast. If there is a different place or there is tickets specifically for the finals then i'd guess it'd be ok.

You obviously weren't at Blizzcon last year. The crowd for Boxer vs FruitDealer was insane

But I understand people trying to downplay GSL Finals being at Blizzcon, I'd be doing the same if I didn't have a ticket already ;D

Hmm, I thought they might have sold separate tickets, it would be more profitable for both companies and tons more people would be able attend.

Guess not, glgl guys <3

pretty sure GOM will still be using their own stream for GSL finals

they still need to stream to their KR audience at least

Wow, this is really awesome. I'm am 100% behind GSL, my favorite tourney, and even if evil studios Kespa was going to make big sc2 splash, i'm backing GSL the whole way!

LOL watch this be the first Season of the GSL where its like MC vs Nestea, not like MC vs Someone who got lucky through the brackets. Or something one sided like that (Inca vs Nestea,)

well... MKP is a beast he just hit a hardcounter to his style in tvt's and 3-4 against nestea.
But that would be funny

ouch... poor foreigners lol. Great from a entertainment standpoint but i feel for the foreigners lol. IdrA better bring his A game. HuK too.

Theres like nothing else in Anaheim to hold large events other than the convention center.

There is the Honda Center home to the NHL's Ducks and Angel Stadium home to MLB's Angels. Not likely hosts but there are certainly larger venues (and even two 90000+ stadiums in the LA area).

This is kinda random.. Won't Korean fans feel like GOM has betrayed them? There are many tournaments in Europe and America and Korea only has the GSL. GOM should stick in Korea and build up a loyal fanbase to ward off competition from KeSPA if they are truly coming to SC2.

i think you are misunderstanding this, the MGL and GSL finals will be two separate events! the GSL are only holding their finals in the US as an exhibition of korean play. It will have no impact on who plays who in the MGL tourney
