Yes, the tournament level is not as high as it could have been, but it is more on players who seem not to be interested enough in the 15 000 $ prizepool. 15000€, 21000$ | ||

I'd rather think that Assembly and MLG Anaheim were too close to eachother, flying to USA for a week and then spend another week in Europe? I can see why they wouldn't go | ||

Not every tournament will have a flood of korean players just because MLG and Dreamhack had them. It's still really expensive to send players across the globe. Haters gonna hate, I'm gonna be enjoying the first major tournament in a while where the big story isn't "will a foreigner beat a Korean". Horray, you host a tournament with large amount of money and you expect highest level of skilled players to arrive. Instead, you have top-tier but not the top-notched players of the world. Even if an European player, ie White-Ra, won Assembly, what validity on his skill level could he claim for, winning a tournament that has 1 Korean Pro participating? He could say: I won first place in a mostly European Pro-gamers tournament. In a sport that's deemed Koreans having the highest level of skill, I don't see any significance of the first place trophy. Who won first place in Paralymics games? Does anyone care? | ||

Who won first place in Paralymics games? Does anyone care? How long have you been following SC2? We were watching and enjoying big tournaments (MLGs and Dreamhacks among them) without any Koreans, before they realized the potential for easy money. Now suddenly they participate in a couple big tournaments, and any tournament with mostly just foreigners becomes meaningless? These are still very high level players, some of the best in the entire world are there (Huk, Sen, Nada). How about you just watch the games, enjoy it for what it is and stop thinking about the "significance" of the first place trophy? | ||
