I freakin' love IEM. Huge prize pools and feels like the good ole days of MLGs and Dreamhacks where you have international weekenders open to anyone. To echo someone else, if there were a warchest for it I'd be all over it.

I’m a little confused why everyone is freaking out about SC2... regardless of your race preferences or bias it seems quite clear that the community is very good at supporting itself and I fully expect that the entire 2020 season will be announced soon.

IN THE MEANTIME I’m excited for Starcraft’s Super Bowl Day on Friday... aren’t all of you? :-)

On that note development team: nerf Zerg, please, or give Protoss better options to fight it’s late game with.

I used to organize tournaments for ESL Italy and referee Go4SC2s, WCSs, and IEMs for ESL SC2.

Great news! I'm only worried for Korean scene because in the last Super Tournament 2, the CEO of afreeca.tv didn't announce anything for the next year. Usually they always announce how many Code S and ST shall occur... This doesn't mean the end but eventually the tournaments in Korea will be fewer...

Maybe they didn't announce anything because the structure of WCS and GSL next year will be very different; I am only speculating but maybe they could(at least partially) remove region lock.

Does anyone know how high are the chances of getting to the Arena without the ticket to watch SC2 live? Is it usually packed? Is it worth buying that premuim ticket which is the only option available for SC2 this year?

In the past, you only had a chance of getting in without a ticket during finals day as those games are held in the big Spodek arena. You couldn't count on being let into the auditorium without a ticket during day 1 & 2 (and these are usually the most fun), as we had early entrance tickets and the ticket holders (including CS:GO) were being let in first.

Now that there is no early entrance tickets... that might get a bit weird. Don't know what's the protocol. Does anyone know?
