They need at least a bo3 win for the tournament to not cost the money. (they got 500$ + 500$ from nasl already). Hope they'll make the prizepool less top heavy next season (just a little less), so at least the top16 don't "lose" money.
Teams pay those costs, whether the player makes more in winnings is irrelevant. The team makes a return on their investment by providing exposure for their sponsors, etc., not by their players winning prizes, only a small part of which go back to the team.
OMG HYPE HYPE HYPE, this is going to be awesome!
I hope we can make it through the finals without technical difficulties or other failures. Good luck NASL dudes!
they should make ro16 bo5. It would suck to fly over to the US and lose.
Whooooooooohhhooooo! Sry for screaming like a whoooo girl... ^_^ but I'm so hyped right now! EU protoss hwaiitiiing!!!

I don't see any favourable situation where any Korean trained player will lose today (there's a slight chance Moon or Zenio would lose).

They get $500. Compared to MLG where you have to win a tonne of Bo3s just to get no money, it isn't that bad.

Boxer is/was injured right? I remember them mentioning it during the GSL. I hope he advances a few rounds.
Im torn, My favorite protoss White-Ra, and yet the only NA player Sheth... i guess it would be perfect if they play each other for first :D

Ya they actually get $1,000 ($500 stipend and $500 for going there).
Sen is the only person I see beating a Korean today. Zenio's best MU is ZvZ but it's still ZvZ, and sen knows how to play ZvZ.

Shoulder problem, had it since sc2 was released though.
hoping for: ret sheth don't care hasu sen don't care white-ra boxer probably only watching the first four
p: stats, horang2, free, jangbi z: soulkey, zero, shine, hydra t: leta, hiya, sea
Well if BoxeR does lose early, I would assume he stays in CA for MLG? Regardless, he is going to win.... xD
Just picked up the pass for $10. For the player pool alone, easily worth it. So pumped! I'm as big of an MC fan that there is, but I gotta say.. BOXER HWAITING!
Just bought the pass even though I haven't received my paycheck yet (fuck UPS) I'd rather watch SC2 than eat lol

Yeah, I remember they said it was really bothering him lately though. I wish it would have been Select vs Boxer and MC vs WhiteRa. Boxer's best MU is proooobably TvT, and the MC vs WhiteRa game from the World Championship was really great (WhiteRa won that game)
omg, 10 Dollars, that is sooo cheap. I bought it right now. Also, paypal works! It didn't work on start of NASL, so I didn't buy pass then. btw, wasn't there a thread of the best games from NASL somwhere? I cannot find it. Someone has a link?
