Well I shouldn’t really get a say in this because I live in Australia and I doubt I’d be going to either of these, because I’m so amazingly skilled at cubing and can get sub 2s every 2nd solve. It depends where more people live in for easy access. Like for example I assume at least SOME people live in Chicago, however Seoul is like the capital of South Korea so it may have more competitors (correct me if I’m wrong )

Seoul yes but Chicago umm..(I'll be old enough to travel alone and probably fast enough to make finals by then lol)

I assume more users here are American than Korean, so asking us will be biased towards the US

Somewhere in the West would obviously be a lot more convenient for people here, but there are a lot of cubers in the East too, which we don’t often consider.

True. I'd love for it to be in Chicago though because it's so close. I visited Chicago about five or six years ago and of course there are some seedy areas but downtown near the river is a very nice and classy city.

It is going to happen in Almere, Netherlands in the last week of December this year.

Mostly I will not be able to get a visa as I reside in India, which has still not recovered.

Oh thanks.

 

[abunickabhi]

The world championship will be in Seoul.
I am quite excited to attend it.

Huh, the US didn't win this one.

The chicago public document was 15 pages with lots of pictures, seoul's one was 5 pages with no pictures.

Both of them had convention centers as the venue, super spacious.

Definitely a tough choice for the selection committee.
Personally, Seoul is closer to me so I prefer it.

I’ll be watching from the us. Maybe if i practiced A LOT I could go and compete

 

[Kiwi_Cuber]

A competition in both places would be interesting. Most people here would probably be from the US so Chicago would be the obvious choice here. South Korea is much closer to me though, 12 hours vs 20 hours, so that's my vote. Although unfortunately I don't think I'd be able to go anyway

It's already been decided.
