Its finally here!

wow halved the prize pool

and only 16 players? I'm a little underwhelmed, really hope they gain some massive support for this season so they can do a proper season next.

^^Guess the lowered prize money reflects the fewer number of players?

Maybe a Korean speaker can corroborate, some Ygosu folks are wondering about it too

Finally!!!

VANT had 38,000,000 prize pool while this 24,000,000. At least this one is not top heavy and everyone in the RO16 will get some cash. Sounds cool.

First place getting five times as much as second place not too top heavy? Huh?

I meant not top heavy as the VANT league. That one the first place took 6 times as much and non below 4th place took anything. Here everyone does take something.

remember that this is afreeca and kongdoo ponying up the prize pool instead of a sponsor so it's pretty generous if you ask me

Agreed. Hopefully this one will be a blast and attract more sponsors for the next season.

hmm, might attract a good amount of foreign audience if tastosis are casting but korean numbers have to be good for sponsors.

Bisu, Effort, Sharp, Zero get a seed into R16?
Flash also would have to go through the qualifier?

well just when we had the chance to mb get professional foreign casters back into Broodwar, there's a sharp decline. Less players advance from the prelims, less prize money and no sponsor. The last part is worrysome to me; if the annual big korean Starleague can't find a proper sponsor, it's sad times.

Happy to see this tho and best of luck to (T)Scan who is training hard fot it. Competition is gonna be very tough.
Broodwar for life!
