Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Maybe it is because LOTV just came out and they don't want to have a world final with Hots champions, still it is kind of sad. I hope they will be a season next year at least.

Edit : Ouff, never mind all seem good

The IEM World Championship finals usually attract over 100K viewers for the final match... What a bummer...

This thread is confusing. So what is it? Sc2 at Katowice or not?

Don't play with my heart .
Maru and Serral are probably top 5.

The last time I read such a news, DreamHack demoted SC2 to a Side-event. Let's hope that's not the case here.
Since Carmac tweeted that no bad news is incoming, I'd just assume that the SC2 tournament will not be a WC-tournament, but rather a tournament with the best LotV players at the time. Which would make sense, imo.
... I just hope it's not gonna be an Archon tournament :/

Yes, but only for the grand finals. Reason for that is that they do the grand finals for all games sequentially and update the twitch channels for each game to follow the next game's grand final. Zest vs Trap final came after CS:GO finals, so we had 100K+ viewers for it. Though it was a PvP...

There were a bunch of people waiting for the LoL (?) finals that were scheduled to be around that time but the CS:GO finals took forever so the whole schedule got messed up. So then LoL people were watching Zest vs Trap.

My guess is because all the champions in Season X are from HotS while the Katowice event will definitely be playing on LotV, similar reason DH didn't have a grand final event at DH Winter because they know the game will be on LotV at that time.

Same thing happened in 2014 Grand finals, sOs vs herO, it gathered around 100K views during the blink all in era when both decimated Polt and Taeja.
