It's funny how players are so casual about this tournament. The prize money rivals MLG (if you account for MLG's travel expenses) plus has a smaller player pool.

I'd use a different word than 'funny', but I agree.

I'd say the player pool is harder than MLG

Its their loss, though its pretty disappointing for the fans when they don't show up.

XiGua is now the only foreigner to have beat a Korean, I think. GJ, MR. WATERMELON. GJ.

Yonghwa just lost my respect there, I have to admit.

Well I believe it's because Sen is playing in the EGMC Playoffs right now, unless I'm mistaken.

I am mistaken D:

For those who missed it, Yonghwa went for a base-trade against XiGua, saw that he was losing, managed to get one probe out of his base, and proceeded to build "hidden" nexuses around the map.

Koreans going out of their way to be in this tournament well some of the foreigners don't show up. I am quickly losing respect for a lot of these foreign players and teams. The player for not showing up, the team for not holding them to their obligation (or in EG's case holding them to an obligation that is not being a player).
