Also selling new tickets for this event is also a bit mean to those people. Pros and cons to this I don't think all 16 players were featured on the main stage last year. | ||

No they weren't, but there is something to be said for them being played live in the building presumably where you could watch a la MLG games that aren't on the main stage. Now in order to see 8 of the players play people who already spent a ton of money on Blizzcon passes have to buy new tickets to an event a week earlier and hours away. Anyone who doesn't live in SoCal doesn't have a chance of seeing this. It's not all bad, I'm just pointing out some flaws. From an online viewer perspective, (this is almost) all good news | ||

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 ? You remember IEM toronto? could barely get their schedule working and would have some games into the next day and they even had 2 streams. If blizz did this it would a mess for them. this is really smart imo | ||
