World of Warcraft (when it was relatively popular) had an Intel Extreme Masters event in Edmonton once. It was so cold/blizzard that flights got cancelled, half the people didn't come, and they invited random locals instead. I'm dead serious.

Its not that bad in Edmonton in October, it might start snowing by then but still i see your point. Really wish it was in Edmonton i would be so stoked, but Vancouver would be nice, warm all the time or at the very worst its raining haha

It does get pretty cold here sometimes... I should really move to Vancouver or something

There is always someone finding something to cry about.

This is a legit response, the rules for holding contests and tournaments in Quebec are fucking retarded, which is why most nationwide contests/sweepstakes/etc say "excluding Quebec" on them. Plus doing everything en francais would get annoying for everyone involved.
Not to mention that Toronto is just the overall better pick. Way bigger, more easily accessible, close to the US, less french people, the list goes on.
Being from Kingston I would be going either way, but I definitely prefer Toronto as a pick.

do you guys think the Chinese players will have visa issues going to these games again?
|
Yeah, Canada!! awesome... come to Edmonton next!! lol... I wish!
|
In theory I really like Toronto as the location for an SC2 event, but with the issue of Visas for players being as prevalent as it is currently, I'd have thought Blizzard would have wanted to hold it in the US, as Blizzcon is just two weeks later and many of the players who attend Season 3's finals will likely be making their way to Blizzcon as well. If it proves not to be an issue, great, but it'd suck if someone got screwed over again like viOlet and Jim have in the past.

This is probably a dumb question but its oct 25-27 of this year? and when will tickets be sold?
