$170,000
85k for first place.
I do hope Blizzard advertise this correctly so people actually watch it.

Like "The International" with Dota. Every other tournament will come short compared to 1,6mio. And 100.000 for the winner and 150.000 for the rest seems pretty good for everyone competing at the world finals! 1 Million is overrated. It seems like people forget that the prize pool is split between 5 members... I mean 200 each is still a lot, but it's not a million. SC2 doesn't need as big a prize pools because it's 1v1 and it has more tournaments anyway. | ||

And btw, Blizzard has invested way more money than Dota 2 for the international I think. They have been paying for travel and accomodation for every player, and supported several tournaments. I know that in terms of prizemoney, all nationals and regionals combined is still lower but Valve and Riot in their tournaments has only put in minimum effort, especially at the international who just had 1 venur for their tournament. Prize money is just 1 thing to spend money on, the rest is often even more expensive btw. | ||

Also because it's teamsport, you can bet that the teams are taking a big bite of that million as well, and it's only an annual tournament, so as you said, there is way more tournaments  | ||

The national qualifiers and regional finals plus the grand finals prize money in total adds up to around $760k. So while the "headline" prize of $250k seems small compared to some things, it's actually a real total prize pool for the entire thing of $760k, but with no way for any one player to win the majority of that total. | ||

How did they choose direct qualifications for national champions into WC? I kind of understand United States and Canada in NA region or People's Republic of China/South Korea/Republic of China but why France, Germany and Russia in EU? Because of the population? Seems like Sweden and Ukraine is more legitimate choice. Because France, Germany & Russia might be the bigger national markets for sc2 in EU in terms of sales, so Blizzard wanted to make sure that at least 1 French/German/Russian player would be in the WCS finals | ||

I kinda like the one big tournament a year model, because it still has an impact. No one can use bullshit excuses like "XY didn´t play well because he focused on that other tournament" If you can´t pull your shit together and play your best for 1 Mil, you have no business calling yourself professional. I stopped following GSL closely after the 4th tournament, I stopped pretending to care after the 8th or so tournament. It has no impact for me anymore. There´s 7 regular tournaments a year plus around some more special tournaments. I just don´t get excited if there is a new "world champion" every 2 months. I hope this tournament(WCS) can be the one big tournament that you would watch if you can only watch 1. | ||
