Im guessing hes referring to what some other guy posted: There will be no 5v5 games. Which means CS, Dota, LoL would all be excluded. That should leave the arena for SC2 and maybe 1-2 more games at most? | ||

It'd be kind of silly to have a starcraft finals in that big of an arena though. 4k will be just fine. Edit: Hockey isn't very popular in Sweden. Even the 7k seems alot to me. Probably only fully seated when we're fighting Finland ^_^ | ||

"StarCraft II, Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition and Quake Live" Which is actually great as those are the three best games to watch from a spectators point of view (those and BW, but BW doesn't have an active competitive scene in the western world). To be honest I think they are actually better off with not showing CS, Dota and LoL there, as those are pretty much useless to watch unless you are very much into the game yourself. | ||

Previous DH arena held about 1000 people. At least as many people were trying to gain entrance to the fully packed finals last DH Winter. There was even more demand at last DH Summer (and the summer events are smaller). I guestimate a minimum of 2500 will attend the SC2 finals. The real number I'd wager will be around 3000-3500. Though if these news spread well enough there might be an explosion of non-BYOC visitors to DH this winter. Assuming of course a snow storm doesn't hit again this year. | ||

Does anybody know anything about this? I'm pretty sure he'll be there. D'apollo and him are kind of the main casters for the event. Maybe there will be some more streams + casters like Husky and TB. | ||
