Anyways, don't see why one game having more prize money than SC2 always has to be a big deal. CS1.6 showed at EU finals that it's just as capable of generating as much viewers as SC2. In fact the amount of viewers was much higher during the CS finals, but then again there are some factors that could have come into play for that.
as said above, i agreed with him just posting the prize pool for people since i didn't see it in the OP ^^

Our show is staged at the CeBIt trade show our match hours have to fit within the opening hours.
That's understandable. Just wanted to whine a little bit I hope for some delays
So let's say i buy a premium ticket: when will i be able to watch games? Will they be uploaded right when they're finished or we will have to wait quite some time for them?

9am? Really, ESL? When I finally have a week of holiday even Starcraft is forcing me to wake up at normal hours D:
What a lineup to start off with though, would have really sucked not to be off tomorrow. One of those groups where really anyone could get through, but rooting for WhiteRa. Finishing it with Idra v Morrow later on adds some great drama as well, hypehypehype
I presume its working on your computer clock, rather than CET. The countdown also only counts down to the day, not the start of the event. according to the schedule SC2 starts at 9.15 CET on the morning of the 1st March.

actually if im not wrong that was because the CS finals were dragged on for quite some time? And quite a few people on the stream logged on to see the SC2 finals while this was happening..
Yeah there was a power outage during the quake semis that forced everything to be delayed. A lot of people ended up watching and discussing cs in the LR thread.
