Congrats. Useless post. You might get a ban for it. Violates Rule #2 (all caps), and #3 (posting for the sake of posting). A little more substance please.
I think the venue is perfect. Close to the airport, easy for all to get to, and it is smack in the middle of the GTA, easily accessible from the golden horseshoe, Peel region, Toronto region etc. Right off the highway, lots of ammenities nearby, food, drink, fuel stations, and lots of parking at the venue. Much better than the downtown Toronto Convention Center: Which you could say is "in the heart of Downtown Toronto, but horribly accessible, horrible parking, not near the airport (limo or taxi needed, or use of Toronto's transit for around an hour to get downtown). The International Center was a much better choice.
I am REALLY eager to attend and watch some good matches, and a good show.

Does the name on the ticket mean anything? Do we have to bring ID?

The International Center was a much better choice.. I'm not so sure about the food part. If I recall correctly there's like a Tim Hortons/Wendy's and maybe one other sit down restaurant nearby? I don't know, I just don't recall there being lots of places to eat around there.

Looking forward to this weekend and seeing all the big SC2 Players land in Toronto! Go Canada!

Does anyone know if we can bring our own food into the venue? Or do we have to buy it from the surrounding restaurants?

Yes, there will be merch available. It's hard to miss when you walk-in the venue!

Was it last year they had more casters than players? And when it was pointed out that there were nearly as many casters as there were actual games in the tournament, some NASL official said that MLG had even more casters. MLG.. which probably has hundreds of games.
I do wish they could have made the main tournament a bigger thing. They run a good tournament, but it just seems to not have enough content for what it could have.

Well, a good thing about having lesser games and knowing your opponent in advance is that you can prepare in advance and therefore it should improve the quality of games. Not like MLG where probably play the same 2-3 builds over and over no matter the player (for most players i guess top koreans/foreigners can adapt a bit more)

Awesome! What kind of merch? I assume NASL shirts, what about team shirts? EG, Team Liquid shirts would be so sick!

still no info on prize money?? Seems weird that all we know is what little was told on LO3.
also it seems really dodgy that prize pool for the Tribes and the WCS are both on the website - yet for the main SC2 event it just says: "compete for glory at the event"
can we please get an official statement of the prize pool and distribution!

NASL has 4 casters. I dont get why you would spent money on even more casters. Give it to the players, or use it to make it a better experience for the live audience/streamviewers. It gives me a bad feeling, to see how NASL sets their priorities. : /

With only 4 casters, they would never get a break for the entirety of the weekend.

It would be nice to have the event listed in the TL calendar. Or atleast time stamps in the OP.
I only found the schedule link (http://www.nasl.tv/p/S3GF_Schedule) and there is no timezone stated.
