Probably everyone here knows the final of Korean Air OSL season 2 will take place at Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai this Saturday. OGN guys must be amazed by thousands of spectators at WCG finals last year in China. As a Chinese, I was excited to hear the news a while back. After following the progaming scene for nearly a decade, I really want to attend a live Starleague final, cheering for my favorite players. I thought the chance was there.
Sorry, not really. First of all, Taek-Bang were out (j/k). When I was told there are only 300 seats for local audiences, plus 200 reserved seats for Koreans and officials related at this OSL final, I was astonished. This is ridiculous. How does this happen? Will it be the least watched Starleague final ever? Even less than Nate MSL with the stupid virtual studio thing?
Let's first look at the final "venue", which is not really a venue. In front of the tower, there is this tiny ground. Apparently it is not big enough for any spectator sport. But Koreans love it because the marvelous tower and wonderful view of The Bund and Huangpu River behind it could be the best stage for show-off, according to PLU, a domestic partner of this event.
Rumor said there were 2,000 seats planned originally, at the same venue. But it would be "dangerous" to have thousands of young people gathered in the downtown during the World Expo. The government has to make sure the "harmonious society" cannot be jeopardized. What if someone brings a "Free xxxx" banner to the event and show up on TV? So forget about cheerfuls, posters and banners, all are banned from this OSL final by request. You don't believe this? How about I’m telling you every vehicle entering Shanghai from other provinces is asked to go through security inspections, every non-hospitalized psychopath is under surveillance of community cadres (even cops) and anyone who wants to buy a kitchen knife has to leave his name and ID number. All happens in Shanghai since the World Expo begins. I don't know how they compromise at 500 eventually. It is just SAD. And 300 more security guards will accompany audiences to watch another Lee-Ssang final.
Do I complain too much? Still 300 tickets out there, right? Let’s fight for one! Who has tickets? SiTV and PLU, partners of this final. Some tickets are given to media and their inner people. They are also giving out a few tickets randomly to their users. One can win a ticket by sending text messages or posting on certain forums. Some really luck guys are selling tickets they won at RMB500 (USD75) or higher for each. Or one can buy an evening pass of the tower at RMB100 (USD15), watching Flash plays against Jaedong from the air.
I am disappointed. A spectator sport is for spectators. There are tens of thousands of e-sports fans would love to attend the event here. It is ruined (well, partially) by the wrong time (9/11 + World Expo) and wrong place (not a big venue, just a site good for show-off + advertising).
Tidbit: Which one is the most watched Starleague final? It is NHN OSL final back in 2003, which was broadcasted through the China's national sports TV channel before video game was banned from TV. Millions of Chinese viewers watched Nal_rA accomplished his dream, so do thousands of spectators at the scene.

说实话我主要是为了原画集才花血本买典藏版
这次华丽丽的人族篇包装设定 让我无限期待更加华丽丽的神族篇
略感欣慰的是林林总总没一件东西写的是MADE IN CHINA
更感欣慰的是原画集长长一串credit列表里有不少汉语系的名字
听说跨区域战网联机被ban的可能性很高 明知是玻璃渣的骗钱高招也奈何不得....
连RT先生都被ban了好几次 最后不得不亲自验证阿妹你看的公民身份
等我先攻略单人战役再说 -V-
我们神族美啊美啊美
人族U盘里装的是前作及前作资料片Orz

今晚匕首的刀锋转向刺进了你自己的心 也刺进了千千万万亲戚的心
真的要随马先生去洗碗么?
连续两个赛季同时未进入两大联赛的十六强
大王我爱你但是你不能这样一直沉沦下去啊
泪奔三千里....
对其他人而言 新赛季才刚刚开始
对我而言 新赛季还没正式开始就已经结束了
老子都一个月没看比赛直播了今天下班还怕在路上错过开场专门留在办公室饿着肚子等你携隐刀归来
现在TMD很想大哭一场!!!
我真的不想承认 场面输得那么难看....
指点江山的美人才是我爱的美人
不可以只有美人没有江山 除非你转行娱乐圈

十二年的等待终于等来了这一天 老子也有key玩星际2了吼吼吼吼吼!
启动第一盘游戏的时候心跳快得好像得心脏病了
激动到晚饭没吃也不觉得饿
哆哆嗦嗦地进了一盘PvT 我以为我肯定会输 没想到对手也是第一盘 估计手抖得比我还厉害
于是我莫名其妙把一打zealot和半打stalker直接A过去就赢了 Orz
啊啊啊啊啊我人生中的第一盘星际2战斗.....
几件事说明一下
关于key
key不是我的 亦没有捆绑我的BN帐号 还是感谢RT先生借帐号给我用
所以再搞到另一个key之前 我只能在办公室里玩
我估计这个星期都不用吃晚饭了 而且晚上只能自己打车回家
不怕 为了星际2 这些根本不是问题!!!
关于硬件
办公室的配置只有9800GT 大场面会小卡 多数时间还是比较流畅的
家里的配置也一般 毕竟笔记本显卡永远比不上台机 GT130M表现中规中矩 开到1080P会小卡
2V2打起来掉帧是必然的 以后开放4V4就更难说了
不过暴雪应该会继续做一些优化 总不可能指望人人都GT260以上吧?
我现在依然语无伦次中不知道该怎么记录下这个历史时刻
但是明天还要上班还要偷空玩游戏 我必须打起十二分的鸡血!!!
第一天的战绩暂时是2胜0负 ^_^
2010/01/26
从两大联赛失利以来 我的魂几乎就没怎么放在别的比赛上
宋苹果先生还好 胜负参半至少精气神都在
可是大王的状态.....我实在没办法不担心
真的到了谁都敢输的地步吗?
FOMOS访问正常后看到的一张照片 老子心都碎了
歌词说"有些事只能靠自己走出来" 我能说什么? 我能做什么?
或许我没资格责怪你 因为我在20岁时也相当脑残相当废柴.....
P.S.

虽然有语言的障碍 虽然有防火长城的障碍
我还是决定做一个宋苹果先生的TWITTER ARCHIVE
谢谢Waxy同学的友情翻译 希望能坚持做下去
考虑再三还是觉得不要公开地址 因为本人似乎无意公开 担心小白去的多了他就会停止更新八卦
脑补宋苹果先生把身体扭成一团练瑜珈的样子 (一直觉得瑜珈动作很色情口胡!!!)
Haha...I started eating everything again these days!! As long as it makes me full it's good ^^
