It would be a shame if it had to be relocated, the WCS final in Shanghai would be amazing for everybody involved, seeing as Blizzards aim to is to promote SC2 in china, it would highly suck if politics gets in the way. Edit: Apparently WCS should be fine. | ||

Unlike IEM, I don't think WCS would simply be cancelled. It would most likely be relocated. There's still months left. I've been watching the dispute closely but never though it'd directly effect SC2 esports like this D: | ||

I feel very sad for ESL as this is completely out of their control It should not affect the WCS event because it's just an esport event and it has nothing to do with Japanese culture whatsoever, there is not even a Japanese gamer in it. | ||

It wasn't their decision at all. Their rental in the venue is simply being denied. Unlike IEM, I don't think WCS would simply be cancelled. It would most likely be relocated.

The IEM event was apparently held together with an anime convention and the place got closed down because of the anime, which of course has a lot of Japanese influence, not because of the eSports event. WCS is a completely separate event and unless they happen to also host their event together with a convention of a part of Japanese culture, it should be fine. | ||

China/Japan tentions are too high. War is going to breakout, whether it be army war or economic war. User was warned for this post | ||
