I feel like the prize pool should even be raised somewhat given this lineup. Well they are held each month and a bonus to the cash prize is ladder points which go towards an invite to our Malaysian LAN tournament. On March 11 2011 08:12 TheBanana wrote: Lineup is amazing!

I think it depends what day they are playing, so they may not be able to participate but hopefully they will! | ||

And the prize pool will get larger as FXOpen e-Sports grows, don't you worry. | ||

 Prime management took the time to answer a few of our questions, so please read these responses from ZephyrPrime!deL: Prime is doing quite well in major events, but will you be looking to strengthen your roster with new players or just practice and improve with the players you have? ZephyrPrime: We have a lot of good players so right now, we do not have any plan to strengthen our rosters with new players but we only have 2 Zerg players so If there are good Zerg players, we might be interested at them. deL: oGs players have placed in the top 3 of the two previous FXOpen events, while others were knocked out earlier - sometimes by foreigners - what do you think about these results? ZephyrPrime: oGs players have many opportunities to practice with Foreign players (TeamLiquid), so they can easily know foreign players style. I think they used this advantage very well, also they just play very well!!! deL: What are your views on foreign/non-Korean players in general? What are the major differences, where do foreigners lack, and where are they strong? ZephyrPrime: I think they are very good at macro things but little bit bad at micro control than Koreans. While they have good strategies, they lack of multi-control. But Koreans are very good ad micro, multi-control, so I think that is the major difference between them. deL: Are there any non-Korean players participating in the FXOpen events that you recognise? ZephyrPrime: Yeah, I've seen some players in FXO team, ROOT team, EG team etc... on online, also FXOmOOnGlaDe invited to GSL so I can recognise him easily. deL: Which players are the biggest threat to your Prime players? ZephyrPrime: oGs players and SeleCT. deL: How do your players feel about being invited to this event? ZephyrPrime: They are very happy about being invited to this event. Also there are Prizes!! they eagerly look forward to participate this event!! deL: You told your players the wrong time for the event last tournament - were they angry at you? How did you make it up to them? ZephyrPrime: LOL... Yeah at first, they were a little bit angry and I said sorry also I told them there are another event on next month. After they know that, they seemed to be less angered. deL: Finally, make some honest predictions for the tournament Who will win and who will do well? ZephyrPrime: oGsStC went to Final Round both season 1 and season 2. I think he will do well again but our Prime players will do better!!! A big thanks as always to our Korean friends for their time! | ||

Excited to see Jinro and Loner participating! Bit sad to see J & Hero pulling out (but hopefully their Code A qualies go well), and Ensnare is an exciting replacement (not so fond of Inca =p). AnyPro is a pretty huge addition given his GSL success this season too. Going to have to wreck my sleeping schedule for you guys again heh | ||

When he joined GG he was somewhat less active, but has picked up his activity! Last event he felt he was not at a level to compete but this time he is quite confident so that should tell you to expect at least standard european competitive level I think! | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/tsld/images/flags/au.png) FXOmOOnGLaDe and LiquidHayprO are unable to participate in the tournament as there is a schedule clash with the GSL.The players that are unable to play due to GSL commitments will be helped by competing in our future KOTH events, meaning that they will have a chance to gain ladder points as to not punish them for having other commitments. While we lose two, we gain four North Americans! ![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/tsld/images/flags/us.png) LGPainuser EGStrifeCro![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/tsld/images/flags/ca.png) ROOTdrewbie ROOTDdoRo | ||
