I'd be surprised if it's under 200k. I haven't seen as much hype for an event since I started following Starcraft.

Still have hope for JD, but not sure if he can take it.. A good news for JD I think (not sure about the audience though), is that most of his greater opponents face each other even from the ro16 - like take Dear vs Taeja for example.. Pretty sure both could take JD out, but they'll be facing each other in the opener..

Last time I saw JD's play was solid, but his opponents were doing too much of ridiculous all-in builds.. Like - a few steps above a standard all-in.. So - as long as he expects the unexpected or can scout it - he still has a chance..

He might even win the whole thing (as long as someone else defeats Dear or how solid is his ZvZ, he tends to underestimate the matchup I think..)

EDIT: Speaking of the devil though - his 2nd opponent is exactly Dear or Taeja, so IDK, sounds badly.. :/
Another world, another place, another universe, won the race.. :) ;) :P

EG JD fightin!!
I hope he performs well in this tournament. It was so sad to see him lose in the season 3 finals, he looked absolutely heartbroken. 2013 overall has been a great development (even if bittersweet) year for him, would be fantastic to see him crown it off with a great performance here

Make sure to drop by his fanclub and show support too!

Again, every time they've played in HotS, JD has trounced Taeja. Dear is his most dangerous opponent, Hyun and Bomber also.

Taeja is the player I think JD is most likely to beat.

The scariest to beat is obviously Dear. His defense is so top notch, I dont see JD break him.

But well, maybe ? : )

What would happen if Jaedong had to face Naniwa in the grand final ? Can they both get 2nd place ?

If that doesn't get us 200k+ viewers, i dont know what would!

JD vs Naniwa? In that time? Pfft, hardly 150k will be hit.


Yeaah fuck that 150k omg #dedgaem

Seriously, if we hit 150k, it will be the most awesomest shit ever! I remember screaming when DH hit 30k!


Well, everyone hope this Blizzcon will set up a new record. All of 2013 was lower numbers than 2012, with barely any majors hitting 100k.
You can understand why people want a big show this time.

Barely? I remember 5.5 premier tournaments with 100k+ viewers.

DH: Stockholm
DH: Summer
IEM: NY (barely not hitting 100k).

If there are 16 players and you are releasing these at the rate of one a day, you'll run out of time?? Why not release two a day?
RIP Starcraft scene in the UK. Defeated by EG money and Swedish Zergs.

"He is the only player who is competing for the title of the best, past and present. For Jaedong, the WCS Finals are not about rebirth or the realization of a lifelong dream. It's about the continuation of a reign"

Oh man, this part made me shiver!!! I want to see Jaedong on top of the world again, my favorite BW player of all time.
The Tyrant IS BACK!!

JD's the zerg I most want to win Blizzcon. It would be the perfect finish after all the 2nd place disappointments. Obviously his results are awesome, but we've seen his reactions after losing :/

Oh yeah, there's hardly any zergs anyway, but he's pretty much my #2 heart pick to be #1.

I still remember staying awake throughout the entire night and well into the morning waiting on the final decision of who win's or gets the rematch in that flash vs jaedong finals. God I wish that power outage never happened, that game was soooooo intense, non stop crazy attacks on one pivotal expansion. Few starcraft games in either BW or sc2 history can compare to the intensity of that match, although savior vs iris game 5 on neo arkanoid comes to mind.
