It is indeed centrally located with a great view of the river, though it is fairly tight for space. While we are only accommodating SC2 and CoD, just be mindful of this.

Our key production focus (for spectators etc) will still remain as Sydney. We are pushing the envelope to its limits to make this happen, and will still be focusing on a premium quality TOURNAMENT & STREAM experience.

A higher quality SPECTATOR experience will be available at the Sydney event.

[syfSoundwave]

So why was ACL Sydney in July announced before this in May-June?

[ThatGuyDoMo]

welp im a noob, can't read calendars right, DW NO DATE PROBLEM

[SLCN.Wally]

T.T, for my uni this is exam week. Either hope I don't have exams on Friday or I dodge another bullet

[FLuX]

Interesting.

[asdfSchnitzel]

HYPE, will we have another NXZ miracle run?

[x5_dot]

This is a great surprise! Was expecting Sydney to be the only,or one of two, ACLs. I should be able to make this one

Does anyone know how big the venue is? Last year's ACL Brisbane was the best, I'm wondering if this will be as spacious.

[SLCN.Kez]

BALIDIE OUTA ****** NOWHERe

[SLCN.NXZ]

As someone who was really demotivated about no ACL in Brisbane this is awesome! Location is very central, don't know much about venue but I'm sure it will be good. Very excited!

[inFeZa]

hope it's a repeat of last year's ACL brisbane!

[SLCN.Petrify]

Awwwwwwww yissssssss! ACL brisbane was the best event last year by far

[Drinksarlot]

Woohoo, nice! Guess I better stop playing hearthstone and get back to sc2

[Eddie]

Our key production focus (for spectators etc) will still remain as Sydney. To answer a question from above, Sydney was booked much earlier than this due the size and cost associated with it (approx. 4x that of Brisbane). We are pushing the envelope to its limits to make this happen, and will still be focusing on a premium quality TOURNAMENT & STREAM experience.

A higher quality SPECTATOR experience will be available at the Sydney event.

EDIT before double post: We are welcome to ideas and opportunities to strengthen the spectator experience. I have an idea that may line up with that. Will need your thoughts/feedback before I pursue it (in case it's stupid). We could align ourselves with the Fox Hotel which is about 300m down the road and host a Barcraft in this venue for spectators. Just a thought...
