Recent OSL matches have been attracting respectable sized audiences, much better than the audience size for the hybrid Proleague or the last sc2 OSL.

Yeah... except the fact that koreans don't give a shit about ti3 or dota for that matter. You realize the majority of ti2 viewers was from the western audience and the chinese right? Korean is all about LoL bud. The fact that ti3 would run the same time as a sc2 finals makes almost no difference. Now if it was some LoL finals, completely different story. But to get back on topic, great venue choice. I'm pretty sure it will fill up because like people said earlier, great location and it holds less people than jamsil so... obviously a better chance it will fill up. All depends on who reaches the finals. Only chance the finals will fill up is if its Innovation vs Rain finals..... maybe Innovation vs Bomber... but if Maru somehow manages to beat Innovation, they might as well hold the finals at the OGN studio.... no offence but its truth. People want to watch big market teams. Same reason a Lakers vs Celtics finals would draw more viewers than a Bucks vs Pistons finals. | ||

Yes they did not watch TI2. Mostly because dota wasn't launched or anything at that time in Korea. It's not more than a couple of weeks ago that there was an 800 people queue to get into the NSL finals at GOMTV to watch two top koreans teams play. And those koreans teams are not world class teams by any means so saying koreans dont care about dota would be a scretch, they did not before but that is not true anymore. Wait until TI3 numbers... | ||

Koreans are getting interested in dota? News to me considering I'm in Korea right now, and NO ONE talks about dota or plays it. I go to the pc bangs on a daily basis and some pc bangs don't even have dota INSTALLED. You realize whenever ANY new game gets released with hype (which is what happened with the dota match at gom) there is a large crowd right? The fact of the matter is LoL is fucking HUGE in Korea and the fact that dota is the same genre, makes dota virtually impossible to compete with LoL. When it comes to pro gaming kespa holds a SHIT ton of power, and in case you didn't hear, kepsa just signed a contract for a new LoL proleague. You know what that means? LoL is about to get even bigger than it was before. And you trying to tell me a shit ton of koreans will tune into a tournament that's about to happen in 2 weeks for a game that JUST got introduced in korea is a joke and half. Sorry bud, maybe next year for TI4, we'll see. But unfortunately for you, TI3 isn't getting any hype in korea. | ||

I heard that the last OGN Champions finals sold out 10.000 tickets extremely fast despite being the first time that OGN actually sold tickets, or something like that? | ||

The times hardly conflict. By the time OSL starts, it'll be at or past the end of the day in Seattle. | ||

Well, if the rumours are true they will be returning to Gwangalli Beach this season of OGN Champions. Would be pretty insane. | ||

Awesome that they are having the finals here. I really hope they have a full turnout. If COEX gets respect, and SC2 draws in that big of a crowd, SC2 will have made a huge turn around in Korea I think. | ||

However Bomber is expected to have a much better chance to win against Innovation. As long as Maru doesn't beat INnoVation, we should get a hyped matchup. INnoVation vs Rain is good for Korean fans, INnoVation vs Bomber is good for foreign fans. | ||

Let's be real here.... an Innovation vs Rain finals is the only match that might even have a chance to fill the venue. And if maru beats Innovation, they might as well change venues to smaller one. | ||
