Why arent more people hyped about OGN coverage??
|
Because the people watching OGN will witness 2 top koreans slaughter their way through the offline qualifiers?
|
the only requirements for each region is a passport. does this mean a native passport(aka you can only play in the region you were physically born in?), or a verified visa allowing you to stay in the country is acceptable?

Biggest SC2 Tourney ever and yet only 1 KR slot? Is it one or two? TL says 2 but liquidpedia says 2.

last ESPORTS event that was held there was the hots super league finals last year which was plagued by technical problems.
location wise its one of the more annoying venues to get to but inside its pretty fucking massive

Would have to be 2, right? They should have an even number of players for their regional finals I reckon.

Well OGN is the big esports channel in korea, considering that more esports titles are involved with WESG it doesn't surprise me at all.
I doubt this means anything besides that.
