Montreal is great for the Europeans; Vancouver is great for people coming from Australia, Asia and anyone on the West Coast etc. and Toronto is well Toronto. Toronto acts as a connector between the two and I'd say it's a convenient place for mainland Americans to travel to. I don't really see a Premier League/Tournament going outside of those cities. i know but its probably for the best, just wish it was in Vancouver tho. Would be nice if i could see a tourney live | ||

Hotel fares are much cheaper, its just a 7 hour drive up to Toronto for me. | ||

October 25-27 - WCS S3 Finals November 1-3 - (week off for VISAs and travel arrangements) November 8-9 - BlizzCon In my opinion, next year Blizzard should give more time off between WCS Seasons so we can have an "off season" and more time between regional broadcasts so it isn't on 16 hours a day, 5 days a week. | ||

Considering how Blizzard rushed all this on everyone? I think it's amazing we'll get through it all before Blizzcon. I agree with you on the scheduling heck I much rather have all the lans act as the buffer towards such a thing as I've said many times before. | ||

I think they should run 3 seasons next year rather than the planned 4. It would give more times for international tournaments and maybe another korean league. What I find interesting is the period between BlizzCon and 31st December. There could be a lot of tournaments there (Red Bull, DH Winter, HSC 8...) | ||

So no they shouldn't treat things in Toronto as if they aren't. edit: beaten by Incanus Well, I guess I'm just so used to being able to go to etobicoke easily that I forget there is even a border  | ||

Imagine a final with HuK or Scarlett! any finals with Huk is pretty hard to imagine these days. but gogogo Scarlett!! will she be there?? I mean with her wrists will she be able to give it a good run? | ||

I'm scared we are going to run our players ragged, especially the top players who JUST finished a tournament. IMO at least 3 weeks between the final and initiation of the next season is needed. TBH, I wouldn't mind 4-6 weeks. Are the top players getting the time needed to be creative? | ||

That's terrible and the MTCC is used for much bigger events. Sure there might be some live music but it's actually used for stuff that is convention material. Heck it's in the bloody name. Rico Coliseum is a decent size and I do believe it would be possible to sell 7,700 tickets for an event (and that's just the rink). Rico isn't that pricey to rent out either the problem is the scheduling of the dates. To get it for an entire weekend three days straight. You better have a big advance... not only that but you better pray the Marlies are on a lonnnnng road trip. Really not an easy venue to get lol during October. It's usually booked. Well you answered it yourself right there, trying to get Ricoh during hockey season, GL lol. 26th is a Sat, which = hockey. Wouldn't you know, Sat Oct 26 Marlies vs Rochester. 8000 seats to fill up is a lot. Ricoh is more expensive, staying downtown is more expensive, and when you're factoring in all those, you can see why they went with the safer bet. | ||
