Taking place October 25th through 27th, the WCS Season 3 Finals will feature 16 of the world’s top StarCraft II professionals competing for the title of Season 3 Champion and their share of the $150,000 prize pool. As with the previous finals, the host region will be allotted an extra player slot, which means there will be 6 players from WCS America, 5 from WCS Europe and a final 5 from WCS Korea.

It's funny because I actually had a fucking show there. lol Anyway, this venue reminds me of the other venue they picked. It's Dixon Rd. which isn't that bad, but your still very far out there. We knew it was going to be in Toronto and we knew the time, but now we have the location. Clue beans. I had a lot of great times there. If I'm not working I'll be there. You forgot Eskimos, Native People, Canadian Bacon, Celine Dion, Maple Syrup. Beavers, Igloos, Eh?, Nickel Back, etc. Considering I'm half American and half Canadian it's always fun talking about stereotypes that come from both places. Kids used to really like South Park's guide to Canadian culture though, ha ha. On August 25 2013 23:57 fuzzylogic44 wrote: Mississauga to be entirely accurate.

It does make sense though because Pearson airport is right there and if you really want to get to Toronto its about twenty minutes. To get Downtown however... it's more like forty-five but its not like those guys are going to go out and party. Tons of restaurants and plenty of selection in that neighborhood though so it works out. | ||

You're trying to compare one of these events to a concert when concerts actually have around the same amount of people and are only a few hours? 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. | ||

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 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...) | ||

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? | ||

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. | ||

Therefore 38 between the first group of the premier league until the finals. 38 days before October 25 is September 17. So it's probably not gonna work out if she's not lucky and getting seeded in the last group (14 days later?). On the other side they seem to consider schedule issues all over the place, so who knows?

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 | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

Moreso, there is a Harvey's, Swiss Chalet, Milestones, Kelseys, and Tim Hortons all right there within 2 minutes walking distance, so for lunch and dinner spectators, crew and players can get real food for not insane prices. NOTE FOR PEOPLE FROM OUT OF TOWN, PLAYERS, CREW ETC Stay at the Radisson Suite Hotel Toronto at 640 Dixon Road Toronto, ON M9W 1J1 - you can literally throw a rock at the venue - its a 30 second walk. This will save you a rental car, taxi fees etc. | ||

http://nasl.tv/News/Article/20130904wcs-season-3-finals-premium-pass-waitlist 09.04.13 Last week, batch 1 of tickets for the WCS Season 3 Finals at the Toronto Congress Centre went on sale. As many StarCraft II eSports fans may have noticed, the premium passes available in this batch sold out quickly. Nevertheless, there is still hope for those who would like to upgrade from their General Admission tickets to a Premium Pass. When the second batch of tickets is released, the Premium Pass tickets will be released to people on the waitlist first. One day before this release happens, NASL will announce that the tickets are about to be released. Individuals on the waitlist will then receive an email notification via Eventbrite notifying them that they can now claim their ticket. This email will contain a “Claim my spot” button that must be clicked on in order to claim the ticket and complete the purchase. This unique link will expire after 24 hours. Fans who are on the waitlist and wishing to purchase multiple Premium Passes should note that each entry on the waitlist corresponds to one ticket. Thus, each person in a group looking to upgrade their tickets is encouraged to register for the waitlist separately. Upgrading from General Admission to a Premium Pass Fans who are able to secure an upgraded Premium Pass who have a general admission ticket they no longer need can then easily procure a refund for their General Admission ticket. To request a refund, simply log into Eventbrite, select “WCS Season 3 Finals” from current orders, and select “View Order.” Once on this page, there will be a “Request Refund” link near the name of the event. Clicking on this link will auto-populate a message with the order number, though additional information may still be added. Simply press “Send message,” and someone from NASL will process the refund! When this happens, another Eventbrite email will be sent confirming the refund. | ||

To they get much better seats or what? My understanding is if you get a Premium ticket you get guaranteed seating in the first couple rows. NASL has stated that they will make sure there is at least as many reserved premium seats at the front of the venue as there are people with premium tickets so you won't have to worry about losing your chair if you have to get up for food/etc. I just bought my standard ticket for the Saturday and am pretty pumped about this. Last time they were in town the venue was insane! | ||

We're getting there by car on Thursday afternoon and leaving on Monday, and I was wondering if you have any Restaurants/Bars suggestions in the area where we're likely to meet a ton of nerds and hopefully some progamers and personalities :D How is it usually at those events ? Do you have a chance to meet some eSport personalities in the area around the event? Is there after-parties sometimes in the weekend ? Is it possible for fans to go there ? I guess my main question is where should we go on Thursday night if we wanna meet up some fans and hopefully some personalities ? Is taking a look at flights landing from Korea and hanging out at the airport worth it ? Or are we better taking a tour in restaurants/bars around ? Thank you very much for your help! PS : we're staying at Radisson Suite Hotel;) | ||
