Gabe said last month in an interview that he wanted New zealand first
"" LG: It's just been announced What is the feasibility of bringing The International to Auckland?
GN: I was trying. That was an interesting debate. I was a fan of having it in New Zealand, but there were a bunch of sunk costs associated with going to Sweden. But I've done all the legwork to know that we can have those events here. ""
Maybe it will not end in europe, so let's just wait and see what happens folks…
