Pretty weak showing for the self-proclaimend second best SC2 server -_- They'll sign up for all these hundred dollar cups, but won't sign up for a one-hundred-thousand dollar main event with paid travel and garaunteed thousand dollar prize money. I don't get it. It'd be nice if they put their money where their mouth is, but I guess they don't think they can win the qualifier and don't want to want to waste 20 bucks. Even if that's the case, shouldn't their teams be paying the entry fees? I'm just really confused... | ||

Pro teams that don't have people participating should really reconsider, it's embarrassing. | ||

There is no one on the verge on being on a pro level that wants to show off and might get "lucky"? Playing the Koreans is a win-win scenario - if you lose, everyone is like "yeah, that's expected" and if you win you're suddenly considered among the best in the world. Pro teams that don't have people participating should really reconsider, it's embarrassing. 6 koreans is not worth 20$ 6 koreans out of 23 players is not good odds of having a shot at playing/beating a korean | ||

This represents a chance for online exclusive players to earn an all expenses paid trip to Atlantic City to compete on LAN and pocket $1000 in the meantime. Moreover, this represents a much better chance to beat Korean players while they play at 3 AM local time on significant delay, as opposed to being well rested and having no delay in a LAN tournament where most are familiar with this setting (GSL / GSTL) and you may not be. I would say that even $80 for 4 chances at instant championship bracket and $1000 is a great deal. edited for elaboration | ||

My guess is that most of EU players are afraid of late hours rather than Koreans. | ||

It's quite obvious there's 10% of the players who sign up for these have a legit shots/guaranteed shot at qualifying/finishing top2. The rest of the players are doing it for exposure/get their name out there and beat other good players. There's not enough good players signed up right now. Some might think it's a good opportunity to sign up because it gives you a better chance at qualifying but 20$ for 6 koreans is not worth it in my opinion. I understand you guys are trying to rack up some money to compensate for the awesome prize pool you guys are offering for the the 2 winners but seriously 15$ per tour 60$total I feel there would be a lot more players trying out for it and you guys would end up making more money. There's what, 4 days Till the tournament 3 if you don't count today, tell me honestly if you think 23 registered player is a successful tournament/way to have it | ||

Doesn't get any worse than that. | ||

chances are rather low for them to win an open qualifier stacked with high profile koreans when it can assumed that not many koreans will show up at the live qualifier. | ||

There's no harm in spending $20 to try to qualify online and if they fail they can still fly over. | ||
