Pretty solid breakdown, though I wish we'd see only 10-12.5K (20-25%) of prize pool going to first. Still a huge improvement over most tournament prize distribution (mainly the GSL, where first gets so much more money than everyone else). Just a quick question though... wouldn't the payouts be 5-8th, 9-16th, 17-32nd? Why so many brackets? | ||

Because it's double elimination, the loser's bracket breaks down like that. See their season 1 bracket: http://www.ign.com/ipl/starcraft2/tournaments/best-of-the-west Looks like a pretty good prize money break down. | ||

Probably the best prize distribution out of any major tournament. Huge props for that. | ||

All the tournaments combined are actually worth $15,000. That is saying that the top 4 people from last season are top 4 again, and the rest of the prize money is distributed to the rest of the qualifying players. Very impressive. | ||
