For those to lazy to google it, first place prize is 33 440 $, not bad isn't it? I hope foreigners will be able to qualify, it's going to be tough because each of these tournaments is going to be stacked with korean players. I think our best chances are WCG (there won't be a big number of koreans compared to foreigners, there is a chance the korean players get cheesed out or something like this) , maybe IEM new york (I don't know who are the koreans that are supposed to go there).
I we can have a huk, a naniwa or even sase qualify this would be the most epic tournament ever ^^.

Positive: I agree, this is all very awesome.

Negative: The NASL champion representative is noticeably absent from the invites.

In terms of prize pool, even though it has a long season, it absolutely dwarfs many of the tournaments on that list. In terms of EU, NA, and Koreans (on EU and NA teams), they really couldn't have done a better job.

I believe that this year has been a special year for e-sports.
A lot of things that were not accomplished in SC/BW were achieved in the course of just one year.

Players from all around the world competing each other, leading international tournaments working together with exchange programs, foreign players coming to Korea for training and Korean players joining foreign teams - all of these are remarkable developments that have not occurred to this extent in the past 10 years of e-sports history.


well, this one is not true because at the beginning foreigners had their chances and in first years there was few foreign players (that is a lot because game wasn't so popular and prizes were low).. and in next 10 yrs there were chances for foreign players but they couldn't get them because korean players were just too good.. and as time passes they are too good in sc2 too. I hope I'm wrong and that in the future foreigners would have more than one code S player

other news are great, as whole GOM TV events and I can't wait to see it!

As always, great to see GOM trying their best to acknowledge the foreigner players and giving them many chances to qualify for this tournament even if you don't play GSL.

The prize pool distribution is really painful to read though. The current standard for top-heavy tournaments (i.e DreamHack, Assembly, GSL SuperTournament) is give 50% of the total prize pool to the winner.
According to the OP the Blizzard CUP will award 59% of the total prize pool to the winner.

This tournament is a very unique one, but I still feel like distributing it like that is wrong.

indeed, but this time everybody needs to earn their place instead of invites (on the side of the non-Koreans). :-)

Its a shame that the IEM with the weakest player pool at the moment gets a spot. Hopefully those Korean invites are truly top class
