She isn't going to be there. She is taking Season 3 off to rest her wrists. She won't be playing again until October per her twitter.

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. FYI Violet forfeited WCS AM Challenger league according to Liquipedia so he won't be attending for sure. Most citizens of China don't have problems getting Visas in Canada and the players who got Visa's for Season 2 in the US shouldn't have problems getting Visas in the US.

Talked to 3 people in Subway today when I overheard them talking about the wcs finals, (we're just an hour drive away from Toronto) we started talking about the finals in Toronto. The hype is buzzing irl woooo

LOL
whoo! I can attend! :D

Any educated guess on a price range for tickets and if there will be different spectator zones?
|
When are we going to get an event in Vancouver? Wish there was one close by! Maybe dreamhack will make my dreams come true!
|
so will they just mail Jaedong his second place check or does he have to show up first?
|
Take the action to Canada!

Pretty cool that this is in Toronto. Too bad I am in school or else I would road trip over
|
cool stuff, but i'm kinda disappointed Season 3 finals are only like 2 weeks before Blizzcon. i would've thought/hoped they take some more time between to step up the hype and give the players some extended preparation time. but i guess this year has been pretty hectic for WCS, maybe it will be different in the future.

Jim only has 650 points in 55th place right now for instance.

I thought the finals were supposed to be at BlizzCon?!

Didn't WCS just end? Or wait, that's right, it's ongoing. Makes the NHL seem like 82 games per year isn't enough. Kinda spammy imo...i'll watch grand finals, but sick of koreans winning every regionals and qualifiers going on 24/7/365.
