Rather than just being about the two teams in the finals, it could also decide how much weight is given to Starcraft 2 in progaming teams, and representatives are sure to watch how much of an audience the game can pull.
During the last year, I felt that the crowds have shrunk significantly. Of course, I also felt envious of the much larger crowds for LOL.
With these finals as a starting point, I expect that a large wind of change will come for Starcraft 2, and that we will also have to prepare a lot.
I hope we get a full stadium to show SC2's on its way up, and not down. I know the BW-SC2 transition was messy and WoL got stale, but I feel that ever since HotS came out and OGN started broadcasting SPL and WCS KR that things picked back up.
Yeah same here, let's show lol that we are very far away from being dead, I really wish I could just fly to korea and be there in person just to make sure it's full.
Before reading this I wasn't sure who to cheer for, maybe stx because I kinda like bogus, but now I will cheer for wongjin stars to take this down.
I hate that the coach feels that this finals can decide the future of sc2. to be honest though the late adoption of sc2 by Kespa didn't help the Korean scene one bit.

Considering all the Negative Nancies on these boards? I found it amusing that he of all people would comment on it. The OGN studio at the mall is fine location; the other location not so much.

You guys remember when we got so excited for really big matches in bw when it was like Flash versus Fantasy or some shit and then it would be anti-climatic?
What are you talking about?
so fucking good game, im loving it, theres like 300000 things happening past the 10:00 thank you !
I'd rather have coaches/players comment on the disappointing crowds than just be quiet and accept that SC2 is slowly becoming the Special Forces 2 to LoL's Brood War.
Sad to hear that crowds are getting smaller in Korea, but these Kespa teams need to realize that a big part of SC2 fanbase it's international and they need to act accordingly.
I think it's good that the coach is commentating a serious issue with SC2 in Korea. There are SO many things SC2 has failed that BW had and even LoL has. I could type out an essay of all the things that Blizzard failed to do with SC2. There is one more expansion, that in my opinion is the last chance SC has in Korea.
