I have registered... good thing I googled Starcraft 2 tournament on Monday and found out about this. I just have not gotten confirmation that I have actually been registered. Anyone here gotten anything from them? I may have to take leave from work if I get luckier than crap to be placed. SC was the first online game I have ever played, and played it for years, then off and on but always enjoyed it. Then few months before it was released I played the hell out of some SC.

Only problem is I have not played any Koreans in SC2. I am in Korea though... =)

Wow...insane prize pool. Hopefully SC2 can pick up some top Korean pros if it keeps up like this. Imagine Bisu/Flash/Jaedong playing...ahhhhhh (ok they probably still make this much in a year but still -_-). Offline prelims suck but its still 100x more accessible than BW OSL/MSL to foreigners. Worth traveling for top foreign pros for a chance at a year's salary basically. I think the biggest winner in all of this is Idra lol. Already in Korea, best SC2 player in the world atm and has a chance to make a ton of money off this....his move to Korea suddenly doesn't look all that dumb anymore.

I'm presuming registration has been closed? Now if only they would release a list so we could see how many foreigners signed up. I wonder how well the foreigners will do since they can't speak Korean, lol. How would English speaking people have registered anyway? Isn't the registration form all in Korean?

I would think if someone is able and willing to go to Korea to play in the prelims, they would be capable of signing up even if the forms were in Korean.

This is definitely going to be the most exciting league to date. Will there be an easy way for people outside Korea to watch these games and also will it be possible for people outside Korea to see them live?

EDIT: whoops I fail

- E-Sports fans all over the world can watch through global broadcasting service.

Though, will it cost money to watch?

Will the GomTV stream be free or do you need a subscription. Just asking to be sure I get my subscription before then, if needed.
