![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/nweGgYU.jpg) In unusually timely fashion, it has been announced that the WCS Premier Season 2 2015 finals will take place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada from June 26th to the 28th and the Metro Toronto Convention Center, the same location as IEM Toronto last year.

Also, I'd just like to note that Toronto getting another tournament is kind of infuriating, since, in fact, there is more than one city in this country and I'd prefer they didn't pick one 4000km away from me again. | ||

Montreal and Vancouver would be the likely candidates, I hope they choose one of those two at least one time, share the e-sports love. | ||

But maybe I'll save up some money to fly out to Toronto Highly highly doubt they will put season 3 in Cali, especially since they will be having Blizzcon there a few weeks later. I'm thinking somewhere in China as a likely venue for WCS season 3. | ||

Montreal's getting ESWC CS:GO finals AND has Lan ETS every year! Besides, Toronto has our own locals almost every other month so it's easy to justify coming since the crowd is established already  | ||

WCS 2013 S3 Finals was in the Congress Centre, a completely different venue on the outskirts of Toronto. I feel so spoiled by that S3 weekend whenever I think about it. Just one stage, never missed a moment. It didn't hit me just how special it was until right after at Blizzcon that year when you realize the crowd is missing Maru/Duckdeok while watching Dear/Jaedong. It's a damn tough choice, but wouldn't you rather just not have to make it? I feel like I'll never experience a weekend tournament quite like that again. | ||

And as such, it usually starts at 10 am or something similar. While WCS usually starts at 4pm or later. So I do think what JoeCool said is true. | ||

That said, for a 1-off party style event Montreal is better than Toronto. Montrealers and those in the surrounding suburbs are far more experimental than people in Toronto, Mississauga, Oshawa.. etc. Montreal earned itself a big event when stuff like this happened there... its a cryin' shame Toronto has gotten several big events and Montreal none | ||

FanExpo was expensive compared to the WCS season finals at the Congress Center. It cost me I think $40 for Sunday alone for IEM Toronto, so if you combined Friday and Saturday it came to over $100 if I recall. WCS season finals were $30 for three days if you took the normal ticket package, so I hope IEM prices appropriately now that it's not tied to another event. | ||
