Gamescom usually has a lot of fans, with good hype it can generate a massive audience. First live SC2 event I ever watched was IEM Cologne at Gamescom a couple years ago. Select vs Socke was the first game I ever watched.

They talked about the global finals, which is normally always held at CEBIT in Hannover. Gamescon is different. CEBIT has always been a business event though, IEM is just a tiny tiny part of it. The convention center in Hannover is so big it has busroutes.
Hell, it's about time
