So the trip to Korea will set me back $1750. That is flying form Tennessee to Seoul. Don't think I can afford that.

Maybe if I was sure I could reach Ro16 or something.

Looking forward to watching some great games.

If you're really serious about becoming a "pro" gamer, flying to Korea and competing with the best shouldn't be an obstacle. People who are playing the game part-time don't have a chance anyways, unless you're a freak of nature like Nony.

Yes, US and European player quality will inevitably suck compared to Korea. Just wait for all the Korean BW junior/retired pros to make the switch to SC2, they will dominate the current beta "pros"

If you're a foreigner who thinks he can be the best in the world, come to Korea and play. Otherwise, don't even bother playing in the prelims. You're not good enough and won't make it. The tourney payout will only pay off if you make top 4, as airfare/lodgingwill set you back at least 2 grand.


this. and i dont see any europeans/americans geting anywhere near top 4

dimaga's not good enough. 17173 early beta prize pool of peanuts does not equate with this sort of money. It'll be an accomplishment for a foreigner to make top 64, when 10,000+ Koreans are going to be competing for a spot.

to be blunt, you're delusional. when this sort of money is involved, few if any western players will have a chance at doing well. Korean bw junior pros will make the switch and any that do will be better players than nearly everyone we have seen so far in beta.

I'm very excited about the scale of this. However, I'm not sure it constitutes sustainable e-sports. Of course, that just makes it more fun. It's like we're in 2000 again.

@oblade,

dats what i was thinking of. i dont recall any e-sport that had a prize pool of that size AND sustainable. i m guessing this is one of the promo things that blizz had in mind, so i think it will be short term.
