Idra will be there btw and any other Korean that wants to make the investment. I think MLG's seeding idea is great personally, ensuring the committed and talented get their just dues over several events, it is a far superior format than the gsl and the pool of American and Euro talent it should pool is fantastic. In an ideal world sure id love the Koreans to come in droves BUT i dont think the tournament needs it and I dont think their presence takes away from, what should be, an awesome series of casts. Anyway, the whole point is moot. Adam from LG said the championship isn't closed. People with points from the regular even will be seeder higher, but everyone can participate. | ||

Looks big enough to attract all the big names from everywhere, including korea! price to round trip + hotel conflicting schedules with practice / GSL chances of winning For the 50,000 dollar one sure, for a 5k at best tournament? You have to have sponsors that really want US exposure (which doesn't overlap that much with say prime's sponsor which is a korean chicken company. Obviously EG/Liquid/Fnatic will all show up, and maybe oGsMC or someone with a really good shot at winning or Nada/boxer for exposure reasons. | ||

I agreed, and matter in fact I pointed out earlier, There wont be notable players from Korea just to compete for 5k. US - Korea Round trip itself costs around 1.5k ~ 2k these days And hotel + food would just not be worth the investment to earn 2k. In addition, players from a team cant really decide to go unless the team manager thinks its both good for the player and the team. Is it worth the time and money to fly over to US? to possibly make profit of 2k? or practice hard during that 2 weeks and prepare to win 85 Grand from GSL? your call. but 50k yes definetly. | ||

This is asking people to come to a party when you only have 1 girl while theres 200 guys.. .not gonna happen. Btw this was just an anology, dont take it offensive Kudos ! Not at all, just look at Assembly. First prize is about 3000 euros for first then only 1500 euros for second and TL is flying Huk and Ret out, along with Tyler from the U.S. | ||

While there maybe well known players in the US community, the most entertaining players are without a doubt the Koreans. Specifically those who won the previous GSL champions or atleast have placed in Semi. All were gonna see is the same players from US/CAN district with the same 5k price pool same as before. And for that reason, MLG wont be making significantly more than previous seasons, but for sure when 50k comes around the corner, Koreans will be doing live coverage as well as many gaming sites from all over the world. +Big Boost in their name and value to the company. | ||

Although they do like to reserve some spots for some of the pros. | ||

Code A, 1st prize is around 2k? w.e it was very low considering how dissapointed the GSL4 Code A champion was, saying the prize is only same as Round 32 player from Code A. If i was in Code A, i'd definetly think about flyin to Dallas to compete for 50K as this is the closest thing there is to 85K (GSL 1st prize) | ||
