One of these does not belong...
Naniwa is one of my favorites but you can argue that he doesnt deserve the spot anymore then Trickster or even Boxer does. With that said, cant complain with this lineup.
Boxer is THE legend and Naniwa I can understand has the foreigner appeal. They could have at least invited better protosses over Trickster like Genius, Puzzle, or Hongun. Hell even Inca has accomplished more than Trickster.

A big reason why many people dont like gom is because they pricetag everything they see, whereas every other major sc2 tournament gives a free option.
guess ill stick to results....
and also trickster. why? lol :p
If you can't afford $5 for 10+ hours of entertainment you have financial issues..
haha if this first our new tournament AOL works well! then it will happen again! and we can invite more players whom you want! support us please! I will make it better and spread e-sports to all the world!
The lineup is just insane (love the players and the 1 of each race per group)! Plus, we finally get to see MC vs Nestea that MC has been dodging for so long! I'll definitely buy a ticket.

Look at the players..
It could become a very prestigious tournament over time. Its hard to make any first time event prestigious, regardless of the prize pool (see nasl).
There's more to prestige than just the money. The winner of this tournament is going to know that they are a serious bad-ass since they came through some of the most amazing players in the world to take the crown. And for the amount of games they have to play and the time frame of the tournament it's a pretty decent pay day.

Great job over at GOM, and very good job keeping this fairly under-wrap I had no idea this was coming.

I will support you forever! Been buying a gom ticket since season 3. Well worth the money. Keep up the great work!
With-holding events just because I don't pay? What a joke. First they try and force their shitty propriety player on you and now they say "no pay, no watch".
Truly the cancer of "esports" and you morons just eat it up.
I understand I will get flamed and my post most likely nuked but this is the damn truth. Guess I'm just not important enough because I won't fork over all my money to GOM.

Quit ruining e-Sports.
You've got it backwards... giving money to GomTV supports their company, and not so much eSports. I support quality free events like MLG by watching their ads. Paying money and providing more incentive for PPV tournaments is a step backwards.
A step backwards? Are you implying that Esports would be better off if nobody paid for subscriptions for any tournaments?
I found this to be very confusing as well. The reality is that Esports is a growing market and it needs money to support it in the hope that it might eventually make it into a more mainstream place where they can eventually go to a fully free model. However, the reality is that I think Esports is a niche (and SC2 a niche within a niche) and the pay to watch model is going to be around for a long, long time.
Anyway, where do people think the money for the monthly, 5 day a week GSL tournaments is coming from?
In response to the lineup discussion, its a tournament of Legends for the fans. if by skill/results alone, players like bomber and polt would be in before boxer, naniwa and trickster.
The lineup is fine....but debatable nada should be in there for legend status and consistent gsl results.

If $5 is all of your money, you have more problems than not being able to watch Arena of Legends.
Since I WILL be paying the $5, I'll try to LR as often as possible for those that are unable to/don't want to pay the small fee.
Would've thought it would be only finalists/semi-finalists and SC legends, given the name. Half of these players are neither, but it's still a quite good tournament. For all those people whining for loyalty freebies, here you go.
