50K is more than ok, but I was hoping for an actual (even a small 8 player DE bracket) tournament, tbh.. | ||

Hopefully unlike some years (2009 anyone?) we will have all 3 races and not just T and Z at least and also somewhat active players and not reach vs oov and july vs boxer. Given who they are, I wouldnt put it past them to get saviour ^^ | ||

I think they had a few 2:2’s of BW vs SC2 pros and they played some games on BW and SC2. I think rain was there. | ||

Pretty tempting tbh No its not - ASL is 60k this is 50k, kind of shame... i mean Saudis comeon i expect you to have the biggest BW tournament in history... its not that hard if you give 100k$ i think you are there. | ||

They probably will invite 2-4 players only for some BW showmatches. Considering that, 50k is pretty big. | ||

Saudis had a good chance here, they probably fucked it up already. Considering its called "legends" i suppose this will be invite of OGs, so really no content to the likes of BSL or ASL. | ||

That was an actual tournament though, not even that terrible too. This "exhibition" is not going to even come close to that level I bet. What a shame, really. | ||
