If you note the event schedule, it's clearly an event to promote a Japanese SC2 scene; there's five full hours dedicated to free play of sc2 before the event begins. Imagine toying around with a PC game you haven't heard too much about except that its the sequel to a game that was Massive in Korea, then seeing live on-stage a demonstration of what one can do in the game with dedicated practice and study.

If I were in Japan and knew a bunch of heavy gamers, I'd promote the hell out of this event to them! Worst case scenario, CJ Entus just went abroad to stomp a bunch of foreigners, as would be expected of any such show match. Best case scenario, this is the start point of a stronger Japanese SC2 scene and in an amusing reversal of SC:BW's fate, Japan gets a native translation for Legacy of the Void. I hope team Japan takes at least one game off of CJ Entus and inspires a visible SC2 scene in Japan.
