Neither seat looks that different comfort wise. If people are really worried about entertainment, and ipod with a bunch of music/films (if he doesn't have one) costs less than $1000 dollars.

Have you guys considered that MKP might have been refusing the invitations ? Every time someone brings the question to Sundance, he just dodges it.
The MLG guys are hardly dumb, I'm pretty sure they realize that MKP is a fan favorite and that they try their best to bring him.

I don't mind people donating money to bring a player, but I think he could pay for himself easily :o!

Not too sure about price distribution but its highly likely MKP could make it far... and even with spending 3000 and winning 2000 he would still make a really good experience :S

Although i really like MKP. Im alittle disapointed in the community being so enthusiastic to bring a korean over to a event that has allready won a ton of money and can come of his own back if he really actually wanted to.
Yet many top European players cant afford to come to an MLG and they do not get any support. Im personally thinking of SaSe, a Swedish player that is currently top 20 on Korean GM ladder and capable of beating MKP,MVP,Bomber ect and is seen doing so on stream.He has no team and streams his ladder games in order to try and support himself and he cant afford to fly over the world competing in these tournaments that would boost his profile and sponsor opportunities.
As Foreigners why cant we get behind our own players and help them get the opportunities to beat the koreans instead of throwing more and more to the allready successfull and wealthy korean progamers. Im sorry for a negitive view on helping MKP (i really do like him) but i cant help but feel disapointed in the foreign community. /sadface

I find it hard to believe that NOBODY on reddit or people on TL who are interested have a family member or anyone who works for an airline.... this could be a free trip, or near free easily.

Milkis is awesome for organizing this. Definitely one of the best things I've seen in sc2 so far and a shining example of the sc2 community's awesomeness!

I think it's a great proof of concept for an idea like this. If it works, the possibilities of continuing and expanding are definitely there. I chipped a little! =D

IMO he should just be on whatever flight the Korean invites are on. I believe part of milkis' job is picking the invites up from the airport so it would make it easier for both him and mkp.

I foresee a counter-movement: top foreigners raise money to keep Koreans from coming to MLG.

This should probably be in the OP so people can actually see how much money is needed...

I hadn't heard about this initiative until this weekend; you guys did an amazing job. Congratulations, and I'll try to pay more attention to this sort of thing next time; I'd absolutely chip in 10 bucks to get a player of MKP's caliber that doesn't often travel to MLG.

Has he posted a thank-you to fans?

I think this is enough of a thank-you for a LOT of fans:
