Last year I felt i didnt really ahve time to explore the venue without missing a match. Also I really hope with this, they will set up autograph sessions with the players which they didnt last year (outisde of sOs at the very end) Agreed. This decision is for the benefit of everyone that's actually attending Blizzcon. | ||

If blizz did this it would a mess for them. this is really smart imo You cannot compare two 8 player double elimination brackets to 8 single bo5's. Also, blame Snute and his swarmhosts for the overrun on the first day, all the other days went seamlessly. | ||

If blizz did this it would a mess for them. this is really smart imo yeah. also the finals started at around 3:00 that day. The venue itself closes at 5:00 and I was just thinking to myself that a bo7 could easily have gone over 2 hours. Makes me wonder what might have happen if neither player could win 4 games in under 2 hours and whether or not both players were told in advance that they only have 2 hours to complete the finals. | ||

I tried googling the ESL studio, but couldn't find any info. they'll probably make an announcement soon as to how to attend/buy tickets. | ||
