    WCG 2009 Grand finals in Chengdu

    Chinese eSports website Replays.net today wrote that according to their sources the World Cyber Games Grand Finals will move to Chengdu, China in 2009.



    Chengdu, located in the southwest of China, is the capital of the Sichuan province and a sub-provincial city. Chengdu is also one of the most important economic centers and transportation and communication hubs in China.

    The Chinese website tells us that this event will be held in a venue called Tianfu. After doing research it’s most likely that this will be the Tianfu Sunshine Hotel Chengdu, located in the centre of the city. This hotel offers besides several conference halls about 232 luxuriously appointed guestrooms including suites with panoramic views of the city center.

    If this is correct, China will be the sixth country that will host a WCG Grand Finals. Cities in South Korea, the United States, Singapore, Italy and Germany already hosted the "Cyber Olympics" before.

    Ideally situated within 30 minutes from the Shuangliu International Airport and adjacent to Chengdu's railway station it seems like the perfect location. However so far nothing is confirmed yet. Stay tuned as we keep you up to date.

    Normally we don’t post about rumors and we can’t guaranty this is the truth but a respectable Chinese website like Replays.net doesn’t just write about this with zero knowledge. Especially since the location is also in China.

    lol, they're probably gong to have another rebuild where they'll abuse and kill their own in order to look good, like the olypmics. "Great" country.

    #9, you shouldnt talk about matters which you have no idea about. are you chinese ? china is a great country and just because we dont have a democratic based government system, everyone just bashes on us like no other. so what if we're communist? so what if we have high amounts of poverty? our country is has over 50% of the population on earth within our borders, and that's no easy task to take care of each and every citizen. you may think some of our ways are "corrupt" but to the chinese, that's our lifestyle, and there's nothing wrong with what we do. chinese culture has been alive for 3000+ years, that's more than ANY of you bashing on china can say about your own. but even though our conditions were poor at one time, china is now internationally recognized as the next super power, i wonder if your comments will still be the same when that happens.

    "our country is has over 50% of the population on earth within our borders,"

    1 200 000 000 --> population of China
    6 500 000 000 --> population of the world

    simple maths.
    And as to Tibet Im not an expert, but the whole thing is dirty so I would wait a couple of years before awarding China such a prestigious event.
    and my humble opinion: democracy sucks but communism even more.

    No I don't but you are using extremes to back an opinion. What I do believe is the right as a human being to believe in whatever religion I want. The incidents in Tibet are already working so badly against China (combined with the facts that people have been kicked out of their houses to make way for the Olympics etc etc).

    a land this big and with such a huge population consisting of many different ethnic groups can only be held together that way. china is not ready for democracy i guess. its a pity yeah, but it shouldnt be the answer to boycot any event over there due to political reasons i think.
    if they let tibet go others will follow. its hard and dirty imo as well. same thing with taiwan... maybe these events do something good in many years.
    once esport is bigger, the community might reach chinese ppl with their concerns i guess:P

    Guys keep these comments about WCG not about the political situation in china. if you wanna talk about that then i suggest making a forum thread thats a much more constructive way to do it.

    Great news Jasper!

    I am glad you didnt call me a brainwashed id**t right way, then lets talk.

    First of all, I am not using an extreme analogy. In fact, Tibet was worse than that. Did you know that:
    a) Theocracy was the way it was in Tibet before 1956 when British colonized this miserable land. On top of that, slavery was legal and many monks were slave-owners;
    b) The great lamas were considered holy gods, whose crap was even taken as precious medicine to cure any disease;
    c) Human heads/skins were constantly used for some religious rituals.
    There are many more to be listed but i will stop here and ask "Was dark age in Europe better than this or worse? "

    Second, I agree with you that people should enjoy the freedom to practice their own religion. However, the ultimate question remains "to what extent?"
    a) there are many anti-gay, anti-Jewish people. do you think they should enjoy absolute freedom that government can never interfere their beliefs?
    b) If you didnt know, 10% Tibetans are monks. many of them receive salaries from Chinese government.
    I believe Tibetans have their religious freedom to some certain extent, as people in other provinces in China, as people in western world.

    Finally, I agree that chinese government is used to harsh way of doing things. Like killing those pilgrims (this is a controversial title for them, cauz they are national traitors too) on mountain everest. Chinese government should learn to rule with more human touch.

    What happened in Tibet is very complicated. It may not be wise for anyone to express opinions when his knowledge is very limited. I hope we have a neutral and mutual understanding here.

    ps.Jasper, sry, I have to write this and I will end this argument here.

    #35, very good points. By the way, I just want to add that Tibetan monks drink and have sex, both acts supposedly forbidden by the teachings of Buddhism. It's just funny how these people own slaves, drink, have sex, and now cry about the suppression of a religion they disgrace?

    The Tibet in 1949 wasnt the country with that peace loving gouverment of the dalai lama as some want to see it. But what the chines invaders did to the people of tibet is a crime.
    After the nivasion they systematically tried to destroy a whole culture, tortured nuns and monks and destroyed monasteries.
    There were nuns raped in public to break there vow, many others where deported to "work camps", which was just another way to kill them.
    It is true that the way China is ruling in tibet has changed alot since then, but still the main goal of chinas politc there is to destroy a culture which has ben developed over hundred of years.

    you almost never hear a chinese speaking up against his government. might that come from the influence of censorship and propaganda?
