I don't understand why people are excited about this.
It is not a global event, they are playing the final of proleague in the same location as a foreign event...
For me, this is very rude for Korean players and korean viewers
Korean players are flying to IEM but they can't play in the tournament
Korean viewers won't be able to attend the final of proleague (I don't know how Visa work there but usually it takes a long time to be able to go to china so I think there will be 0 korean viewers there)
It's just the round finals not grand finals (and i'll be in shanghai on the 31st) but yea I agree X_X

But I leave Shanghai on the 31st.....

Now that's an anti-timing if I've ever seen one.

It will be funny if it will be actually just a crushing all-kill

Just to tease us, putting foreigners and koreans in the same place then NOT having them play.

Well, the mixed it up a bit ... they wrote the "Round 3 finals" (so the all kill finals), but they called them "GRAND" :-) probably to get more attention in China. So 2 victories of sOs, 1 victory of Stats and 2 victories of Maru :-)
I do not think, they would move the real GRAND FINALS away from Korea, the fans, families and all the publicity. And here, having the round 3 finals a few weeks before the GRAND FINALS, the round 3 finals somehow lose the "greatness" ... so it is a good idea to move them to China, call them "GRAND", do some SC2 promotion, and then move back home for the real GRAND FINALS.

The kicker's gonna be when a foreigner asks a korean for a build to use in the IEM finals. Straight up comedy gold

Do you know, what would be great? To let them play some rounds of Proleague in other countries ... one season of Proleague circus in Europe ...
They would all fly to Europe for the two months, rent a huge bus, for all the teams and support stuff and go in it each week to another country, live there in hotel, and play the one round there. Next week they would travel with the bus to another country, stay there and play another round ...
That would be something much better to raise fan support for SC2 than banning Koreans from tournaments!
By the way: if there is not a single global event before BlizzCon, could the smart person, who designed and approved the system, where any organizer of a global event must have a prize pool of at least 50k, by which they actually cancelled the interest of any such organizer ... could that person be fired, please?
I mean it would be cool and all. But it's probably about as likely as me suddenly becoming good at SC2 and winning multiple GSL's.
