Nice to see a COVID-19 vaccination requirement. Should prevent any major outbreak from the event barring any new variants that the vaccines are less effective against. I can't believe how many big events are happening here in the US with no vaccine requirement.

We are soaring 30-40% positive covid cases for the past ~3 weeks. We are at the brink of the 4th wave of pandemic here. The odds of this actually happening are not good.

It is saddening to see that people have yet to learn that vaccinated people are actually super-spreaders.
Anyway, I wonder how many more shots, those who want to attend will have to take.. Sad times.

Please stop spreading fake news, especially on the topic you seem to have a little understanding of.

Why are you trying to misinform? Vaccines help and a lot so. Yeah from what we know from Israel so far people need a booster shot like half a year later for them to protect efficiently again, but super spreaders? Cmon... There are articles online about mass events like the Silverstone Formula 1 event in the UK that had like 350.000 visitors where only 585 infections could be linked to it - and I bet that's due to most visitors being vaccinated.

Now on topic: Great news, I hope Covid won't get new setbacks from mutations until it so the event can go through without issues. I really wanna see some low ping games between Koreans and Europeans again!

Could not get a ticket, I was ready but IEM sent a mail and I went on « buy here » instead of my old link prepared with the ESL website. Lost 3-4mn here before going to my link where you could buy but it said sold out.
Super disappointed :|

Really sad that you could not buy the ticket, I myself had to return my 2020 ticket, because I can't attend in 2022

Before covid-19 you could come and watch SC tournament even without tickets, there was a separate free-entrance area, you just needed to wait in queue. At least this is what I was told by ESL staff member (via their email info@intelextrememasters.com) back in 2018.
If it's still the case for 2022 you can attend anyways, just ask ESL staff in advance if you can access for free with the vaccine cert

Maybe it would be safer to say, people with the vaccine are still capable of being super-spreaders. Keep in mind the term 'super-spreader' doesn't imply that one is especially contagious, but that one has contaminated lots of people.

If someone had an other not-very-contagious disease (not necessarily COVID) but coughed on dozens of other people's food hypothetically they could be a super-spreader, even though the disease itself and the person with it is not especially contagious. What's the point of all this? Behaviors matter. So maybe it's reasonable to imply that going to a live event when it may not be possible to enforce social distancing/masking is still not 100% safe. I want to watch live Starcraft too, but people need to know the risk while greatly reduced is not zero.

That doesn't mean they should cancel the event or anything, just that people need to acknowledge that with the Delta variant, vaccination alone is not enough to prevent spread. People need to stay safe if they choose to go.

All that said, vaccines work. They dramatically reduce the risk of both getting the disease and of transmitting it.

There’s apparently a second wave of tickets to drop on Nov 16:
