But the 'event' in itself / the league.. I am pretty sure you won't miss everything ;-)! BaseTradeTV will cover the league and qualifier in English  ! Doesn't BasetradeTV covering something just go without saying these days? What was the last non-korean event they didn't cover?
Just wanted to make sure the people are informed ! Thanks for creating the thread by the way!

Man, it's good to see another TakeTV-hosted event in SC2. SeatStory was making me anxious for the next one.

Nah its not true. We have partners for the league. We simply name it Legacy of the Ultras because we want to promote how awesome our community at TaKeTV is and want to give something back to them - thus this league. Donations have nothing to do with pricepool, thats already covered  Oops, sorry for the confusion. Must´ve heard stuff wrong on stream the other day! Edit: haha, i get everything wrong - confused by the BUNDESLIGA reference. I´d better shut up.
Dont worry mate, its all good ! You are just trying to help which is always a good thing!
Edit: Sorry double post T_T

This is exactly what the beta needed : an amazing tournament that gives an incentive for players to start playing seriously and optimize their build orders. If something is broken and need to be change we will see it.
"3 Qualifier slots are up for grabs" Why do you invite more than 80% of the players ? The qualifiers could be interesting too.

I was hoping for a more open tournament but I'm still hyped, don't worry.

Looking forward to both qualifiers and the league itself! Yay! 
Oh and please throw in an archon mode tourney just for fun some time.

Because in the current state Zerg and Terran are superior to Protoss. We wanted to make sure we also do have Protoss players in the tournament and I believe invites bring a bit of balance between races / nationality and you can choose interesting people.
It could be a bit more but I believe its not bad this way e ither

Also I hope the prize pool won't be too top heavy so that the players who are in the middle of the table will have a motivation to play until the end.

3500/1500/800/500 ........... 10th 100$
Full split will be released as well. So you might not get a lot but if you are top 10 you at least get something

Thanks for the info, yoshi. I was wondering what sort of buff/crazy Ultralisk mod was going to be in this tourney :D
