do code A players get paid anything for winning their tournament or just a better chance at moving into code S?

The code A champion gets the same prize money as Code S losers which is roughly $1500 USD iirc

He might be, but apart from his creep spread, there was not much to be impressed about, beating a player that... just played stupid :/

Well, August looked a lot better in the Ro32. His timing attacks were solid there. Here, not so much. And it really didn't seem he gets how you do positional control. You can't hold the Xelnaga like that without having your 3rd at the gold with a planetary (or being super far ahead).

But Moon seems to have gotten a whole lot better since his last match. That creep spread was kind of nuts. And he's macroing really well too. Not sure about his other matchups, but he's going to be scary in 8-9 months when he's full time on SC2.

I think your underestimating August, he did control the bushes for 2-3 minutes of the game. The zoom at the end wasn't the best, but there were a couple of good ones yesterday.

The fact that he was controlling the bushes was bad. First of all, it's not exactly hard when you siege up. And second of all, as Tastosis said, you don't just sit in a position like that. There was nothing to gain from sitting in there.

Yeah, he sure proved that by beating August.
