There are plenty of smaller tournaments with plenty of cash to distributed. But IIRC highest prize pool outside of TI is <300k $

Yes, I honestly don't know where all these "last year was similar" stuff is coming from. I doubt it's from people that actually remember the games...
While game 1 and 2 where indeed super fast stomps. game 3 was actually the amazing dendi solo-mid wisp game that lasted 47 minutes and game 4 was the fantastic S4 nightstalker (37 minutes).
Last years final was all around amazing, going back and forth, showing different styles and drafts. This final can still be great, but they have gigantic shoes to fill...

There was around 5 about 200k prize pools tourneys this year so far, and few 50-100k.

Although it's been a while since I watched SC2. I think that in general Dota tournaments have a higher prize than SC2 ones. You can actually spectate within the game client itself but for every tournament except TI you need to buy an ingame ticket, a percentage of which goes to the prize pool. Buffing up the total prize significantly.

Newbee didn't play deathball in games they won against VG, what are you even talking about.

Every draft and ban is so similar.
