Hello,
If anyone is interested to go to the GSL Finals in Seoul next Saturday. We could meet up and afterwards go and get something to eat. My advices for food would be
- yaletown (Burger) - BBQ (all you can eat) - Chicken (all you can eat)
These places I could reserve for us. They are all in Shinchon its 40 minutes away from the Final location but I can make reserverations in this area. Gangnam is generally more expensive and I dont know a good place.
Where: Coex Samsung Station exit 6
When: ~13:30
More Information: http://www.gomtv.net/forum/view.gom?topicid=226474&cid=0&kind=8

Regardless of if you come to Yaletown to eat or not after, I encourage you come by later as we will be celebrating our 3-year anniversary party and it will be a fun time!
|
I will definitively come to the GSL grand Final Saturday. Burger or BBQ afterward sounds good too
By the way, does anyone know if Gom VIP members can book 2 VIP seats ? If yes and if we have a sufficient number of VIP holders, maybe we can book VIP for everyone.
Anyway, I look forward to meet you guys (or meet you again, for many of you I guess).
|
I was gonna make this thread myself, but good to see that someone else is onto it already.
I'm definitely coming, I can be there at 13:00.
As for places to go afterwards, I vote Gangnam because it's close to the venue, there are lots of places to eat and it's also closer to where I live.
Btw, what's a Gom VIP?

People who made a donation for GNN (I did), and some special guests.
@Chexx : Maybe you should add a subway map in your post.

Up for it! Who should I look for on the day? Group of people wearing TL shirts?
|
A bit cold for just a T-shirt, but yes you shall easily be able to spot a group of foreigners.
|
Nice nice!
This reminds me about how you should do with seating? I was told that you could order a ticket if you just showed up early, but I have no information apparent that supports this:O How do you guys do with seating?

Everything you neet to know about seating is in the gomtv link.
You reserve tickets online and go to the event early then you will be let in.

Zigly and I will be at Coex with another friend for the games. We'll be getting pizza at the chicago restaurant before. Heard its really good.
|
I am so jelly. I just got back from Seoul T_T
|
Hi! I will be present at the meetup. I just look for a bunch of foreigner and ask about TL meetup at exit 6? :D
On GOMTV website it says "- There will be 100 seats available for reservations, if you find yourself without one, please stand in line with the other fans."
Those are 100 seats for foreigners?

Yeah, there are always tons of foreigners who come out for GSL finals, 100 seats fill up faster than you would think. We don't know where they all come from, but I assume a lot are Redditers.

We already got a lot of reservations and will probably not be able to take anymore from now on. If you don't get a reservation you will likely still get a seat, but you will have to stand in line with everyone else, so you will have to come early (don't know how early, hard to anticipate).

noooo Did not reserve yet :<. Is the reservation only for foreigners or for koreans too?
|
So.. are you saying that if you did not order then you have to come early? And if you did order, then you cam be there late???

everything you need to know is in the OP/ link from GOMTv

I'll be there for sure, I'm a donator to the GNN and I e-mailed them yesterday so if it's accepted then I will be there at 13:30, if not then I might try and be there earlier as I'm worried about not getting a seat.
|
We will try to acommodate GNN supporters as best as possible, if you are a GNN supporter come to the counter for foreign fans and I'll see what I can do. It all really depends on how many people will come to watch, we've been a bit overwhelmed by the amount of reservations and the venue isn't that big this time unfortunately.
Whatever you do, coming early is always good! I'll be there from around 12 and try my best to get everyone in.
|
I'll be late because of a test but I'll be there.
|
Got a reservation confirmation! Super excited now.
|
I got a email saying there was no more reserved seats
I still want to go eat with you guys afterward.
Anyone who has been to a GSL Final before and know how early I should get to the auditorium to make the line?

Guys do you read the thread?
Snowbird, GOMTV employee, said that it is hard to say this time. But he will be there at 12:00 and tries his best to get everybody in.
Therefore try to be there at 12:00 and go to the entrance
|
I'll see if I can't make it there by 12. We should set a place to meetup afterwards just incase we don't all find each other before. That way we can go somewhere to eat after together.
|
I have my two VIP seats booked, so I suppose it's fine if I arrive between 1pm and 1:30pm.
As for people asking how long before they shall come if they have no reservation, it's difficult to say. This summer in Busan, coming 1h before admission was fairly enough, but they were plenty of seat, and for the final in May 2h before admission time. The place is smaller this time and obviously crowded, so probably even earlier :/ You can also hope that some people took extra seats. I might know someone with an extra-seat, but I can't promise anything :/
More importantly, what do we do after the final and where do we go for diner ? Shall we start organizing now, or share phone numbers ?

In the OP I posted 3 options where I know the way and could everybody lead to it.
Pro: Food is good and cheap many other possible activities(Party, PC Band, Arcade) Cons: - little bit far away ~40 min with subway.
|
I would say that since we are in Korea, I would prefer Korean BBQ over a Burger, but considering that Yaletown is a nice place, I will follow the majority.

Considering the GSL finals are at COEX/Samsung-dong and Yaletown is in Itaewon/Sinchon, I suggest maybe finding a place to eat somewhere in Samsung-dong/Gangnam-gu to save on travel (as you are virtually going from one end of Seoul to the other).
|
You guys should rather just grab food at COEX, there's a huge food court and all kinds of restaurants there. Should be easier to organize and less stressful overall.
|
Gonna be my first time in Seoul, but it definitely makes sense to get something to eat around the vicinity of the event. I'm sure we can figure it out when we are there.
|
So is this all set then? The OP still says 13:30 at exit six, is that correct? I'll probably be there a bit earlier anyway.

At exit 6 (the entrance to the mall) there are several restaurants even before you enter the mall. The KFC should be a good meeting spot for you guys.
