There are probably over 100 koreans that could challenge for the mlg champion place if it was worth it. None of them come out without the exchange program or sponsors because it's such a small amount of money. Yeah it is kind of embarassing now with how massive of an event it is, but sundance is doing his best. Totalbiscuits tournament prize pool has reached 5k and happens almost every month. He got alot of donations aswell to make up a large prize pool for the next event. So for something of MLGs prestige i hope they find a way to raise it for the players. | ||

I'm sure Puzzle would love the chance to test his skill out against foreigners. Puzzle is Code S?? And what difference would Code A players make? Code B players were sweeping the tournament. | ||

Also, some teams make enough off of sponsorships to make the flight worthwhile even if the cost exceeds the expected purse. Slayers brought 4 players and probably managed to make a profit out of the deal even without prize money factored in because their sponsors want the exposure in a major televised event. I think a lot of teams that aren't able to afford to send out their top tier players to such events may be suffering from poor management on the business end where they're having a tough time hunting down sponsors who would pay for exposure at such events. | ||

How were spots 5-8 determined? Rain beat DRG?! If so that takes away some of the wow factor of MVP and MMA beating the formerly best ZvTer in the world. | ||
