Awesome write up. I cannot wait for this event to start. It is nice to see this tournament growing by leaps and bounds while it has the one of the lowest prize pools for season tour events out of all of the major tournaments(I know the GSL spots are worth a lot though).
Just because a player is weak to KOREAN protoss or zerg or terran does not mean they'll have a hard time with FOREIGN protoss or zerg or teran. I don't really like this article. Donraegu coming 3rd place? Not with the legends hes beaten already. I'll admit some foreigners like huk sheth idra will be able to compete with the koreans but mostly cuz they've already been/are in korea at one point. I would count kiwikaki in but hes been doing poker lately and that made him struggle in the IPL
I was getting really excited for this but then my grandfather died so now I'm sad that he's dead and sad that I'm missing the entire tournament cause I have to drive all the way to Florida.
God it better be epic. I want like a Boxer win or something. Something amazing to come back to.

Great write up. Those open seed players will make a huge impact to the pool stages. I'm on slashers side and would bet my esports dollars on a korean top8.
