there is nothing NASL can do to re-create teh atmosphere at a GamesCom event. So it won't match what was put together this weekend. but, it'll be better than an MLG Arena in a NY high rise with 0 spectators.
On the contrary I think Canadians will surpass the gamescon atmosphere of Germans sitting on their hands quite easily.
i think its gamescom. i hope you are right. however, toronto events have a long history of crowds sitting on their hands.
Germany is a major "RTS country". Canada... not so much.

NASL's only season finals where they made serious money occurred in "Toronto". The owner of NASL explains in detail why "Toronto" worked so well for them.
Thus, I think putting it back in "Toronto" is a smart move although difficult to pull off logistically due to WCS's rushed and compressed schedule.
The Season 4 finals for NASL was a financial blood bath.

Still very happy to have another e-Sports event in Toronto.
Let's be a little realistic here ... do you have any idea how expensive that would be? This is an e-sports event not a concert. lol..
LCS world finals will be held at the staples center, and that's a e-sport event.

Not all esports games are created equal, now are they?

The BlizzCon Grand Finals is its equivalent. Not the S3 Finals.

I'm pretty sure that I'll be able to make it up for this, and it should be really exciting! This will be the first offline event I've gone to so if anyone has any advice it would be appreciated.
EPT
((( So close yet so far
