I really hope they can fill it! GLGL IronSquid - Awesome tournament, and of course awesome music as well (IronSquid produced 20+ songs specifically for the tournament - The most well known is probably this one:
Several player themes composed for this as well - MC's theme is especially awesome!
If you liked themes, we Might be able to do longer version of some of those !
I had my reservations when Iron Squid was announced, but the organizers have shown themselves taking the challenge seriously if optimistically. I hope the event succeed, because it can prove a new tournament space is possible between minor and major events.

ye, shouldve 7 winners and stephano as an invite. ezpz full
Indeed. If I was trying to sell tickets for a tournament hosted in France I'd pay Stephano to be in it. When you're running a tournament like this, with a lot of players in it who have really high skill levels but really small fanbases it pays to have at least a few invites so you don't end up with a bunch of people nobody wants to watch (which is what will happen if Symbol, Alive, Jjakji and Puma win their quarter finals).
With that said, it's been a really well run, well produced tournament so I hope it goes well for them and I'll be tuning in to the stream.

The cost of the ticket is that expensive because the reservation for this venue must be quite high.
Also, I think it'll just be the semi-finals + final + 3rd place because if they do more matches, they should do this over 2 days, which must cost even more.
I really hope there'll be enough people to go, I like Iron Squid and I don't want them to fail doing this event.

So, you can watch it for 40 dollars+travel live, or watch it online for free?
I guess the venue is just so expensive so they have to do that, I just can't see how it will fill up, unless France have secretly been a major Esport country.

I`d shell out the price if I was living or was currently in France. Sadly I`m not but I hope all the same that the venue gets filled and we get to see some awesome games.
