You hopes are false, sadly. Boycotting Intel would now mean boycotting PCs altogether ... which can be a good thing for your health!
On a more serious note, Intel is pretty awesome to sponsor any e-sports tourneys in this time when they basically have no real competition, even if it isn't exactly as we would have wished.

SC2 will be at Korea for sure anyway, there is no CS:GO scene in Korea.

Oh cool, didn't know, but still. The korean scene is not dominant in CS:GO at all and this
The professional South Korean scene excels in both of these games
basically translates to SC2 and LoL.

Yep, it's very much a dota situation, except MVP aren't nearly as good. Give them a bit of time though...

"The South Korean esports scene has a great legacy in both of these games, and we are looking forward to seeing some outstanding matches when players and teams clash in the Goyang Sports Complex."
...from this sentence it seems like Gyeonggi will be a Korean Event!

If it even is a WCS event - which is up in the air for an event in December - it's one that counts for next year. So it doesn't fix the tournament shortage for this year.
