A lot less fair and not nearly as fun for the viewers ... they'll probably find something different , but it's likely not as good as this would have been.

Playing China vs EU games online would be absolute madness for everyone involved. :D

this sucks, but safety first. totally understandable decision by the fair organisors. Let`s see what ESL does now. maybe online? maybe in the cologne studios? I prefer the later.

IEM doesn't pay full flights usually though, I get the feeling some of the korean/chinese players only played qualifiers because they knew they could make up the difference of IEM's travel stipend cheaply since the event was geographically close. Even if IEM invited them to the next event in wherever, I dunno if they could afford it (or get visas, especially for the chinese players).
AdministratorHey HP can you redo everything youve ever done because i have a small complaint?

Wow this really is a horrible situation I'm glad that they decided to cancel for safety/finical reasons but it just makes it difficult for the players/spectators. I hope they listed to everyone and have those who qualified participant in the next event!

Wonder if IEM has some kind of insurance that will help it recoup its losses, or whether the company simply has to absorb the revenue loss (if it can).

Hopefully it's the former.

Wow, that sucks. Really unfortunate turn of events. Sad for the players who already qualified of course, but also for everybody else who has put work into this.
