In response to this, a lot of audiences gathered at the site from the night before to the morning of the event at the MS Theater. There were over 3,000 local audiences at the event and they cheered enthusiastically for the competitive gameplay of 16 regional representatives. In spite of the fact that the event was held during the Thanksgiving holiday, Summoners War fans brought their children, lovers, and friends to attend and enjoy the festival which united people across all ages, genders and cultures through Summoners War.

The heat of the event continued on online. All the tournaments were broadcast live on YouTube, Twitch, etc. for those who could not attend the event.
