We were having a discussion on the official over.gg discord earlier (https://discord.gg/yU7crSy) about whether or not OWL would move to a larger venue to the finals and I decided to put together some options in the greater LA area for Science. Blizz might just play it safe and host them at the Blizz arena but it would be awesome to see if they could put more butts in seats.
Note: I tried to keep the locations within 60 mins of the Burbank stadium.
