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.
It is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you will not be imperiled in a hundred battles; if you do not know your enemies but do know yourself, you will win one and lose one; if you do not know your enemies nor yourself, you will be imperiled in every single battle.

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!

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...
