This is the end for BW in Korea. .... but this, not that I care much, but up until the end of the OP I was thinking it'd be online or something, at least for qualifiers. | ||

At any rate, this is certainly a good start to the professional SC2 scene and it'll definitely be interesting to see where it goes from here. | ||

Most likely this will present a strong incentive for players without a salary or contract to switch, but I don't think higher class BW players who do have salaries would have any incentive to switch until teams are created that offer comparable contracts, facilities, and opportunities. I'd rather be guaranteed $20,000 a year with room and board than compete for $100,000 and risk coming home with nothing unless I actually place above a certain point in a global tournament at a completely new game. Certainly the higher tier BW players that have larger contracts and can, with some degree of reliability and confidence, also take home prize money from BW tournaments and competition will not have any incentive at all to switch despite this prize. At any rate, this is certainly a good start to the professional SC2 scene and it'll definitely be interesting to see where it goes from here. Are you kidding? Except for the top level, best of the best, their salaries are not that high. Only guys like Jaedong or Flash or Bisu make big money. I would guess many of the b-teamers and lower level A-teamers are going to switch over, and without them, BW falls apart because the best guys no longer have anyone to practice with (and teams don't have the depth for any sort of team league) | ||

else it will cost too much : 580/700€ For a Paris - Seoul return flight + accomodation there, so unless you're guaranteed to podium i doubt we'll see many westerners taking part... | ||
