Last event I went to at Barclay's, ESL couldn't even sell out every seat for CSGO (and they only used half the arena).

Definitely going to be empty seats if they're using the whole venue, even though I 100% prefer the TI/PGL approach of having teams at the center and utilizing the entire arena space.

I'll fight you for this title.

Working around schedules, also from what I understand it's typical for Korean leagues to give a one week break before Grand Finals to help build hype and anticipation, as well as let the teams practice + prepare.

No observers mentioned :(. Event organizers should always be crediting the unsung heroes of esports broadcasting!

Fenrishi from the Atlantic Showdown will be there observing, not sure who else.

That Nepal game This entire series has sold me on competitive Overwatch.

Despite what I said, Turner didn't make this decision lightly and probably knows a few things we don't. I later noted in my tweets that I'm really intrigued what Alchemist (head producer at eLeague) has in mind for Overwatch. I have to imagine a spectator overhaul will come by the time things get televised, and that eLeague will have some ways of making it easier to follow.

Turner just spent millions investing in eSports and it's paid off with CSGO. They're not going to throw that away by televising complete garbage.

Should be a great event, can't wait to bring it to you guys :D
