Meh, half of the biggest tournament of the year played in front of 20 people ? I'm sorry but it kills the hype. One of the most important things that makes a tournament amazing is the atmosphere. I'm already pissed off that the regional season finals are played in a studio and not in a theater / real venue but WCS Global Finals now ?

That's why they added the showmatches. This way, everyone who qualified will still play at Blizzcon.

the other news is that HyuN will probably have to cancel his participation for MSI Beat IT (and maybe some other players)

Ah right that is a bummer. Although who would want to show builds at MSI a week before Blizzcon anyway?

I think it'll draw a decent crowd. The ESL studio in California is fairly large I think

Technically it's not WORSE than last year, where some players played all their matches behind the curtain in side stream matches

They should also rebroadcast all of duckdeok's games from last year to make up for the fact that nobody saw how awesome they were

On the other hand his potential RO16 opponents are Snute, Pigbaby, herO or even Flash.

I don't blame them for this, there is way too much content for 1 weekend, but it does suck that some of the players won't get to go to blizzcon

I think last year was worse in that regard, with the off stage games. Atleast now players now about it and its not random.

they should make the players offrace or something interesting, since they will be playing for nothing essentially

As someone who went to Blizzcon last year I think i like this deicision. Last year I felt i didnt really ahve time to explore the venue without missing a match. Also I really hope with this, they will set up autograph sessions with the players which they didnt last year (outisde of sOs at the very end)
