I can't see how they get so many people if they don't have one, so I was curious as to what it is.
The usual 8-man daily tournament is $100 for the winner, $50 for second place.
As far as the 32-man they're running right now, I have no idea but if I had to guess it's probably $150 x 9 (or however many days it takes, I think it's 9) split up among the top few.

Worse, largely worse...I rarely say someone played terrible, but he played worse than terrible. First time I'd say bronze level was appropriate :D "Oh, those 2 medivacs are dropping in the middle of my army, I will not focus them"
Finale should pick his muses better, so many decision-making mistakes: making nexuses without protecting them, not warping in DT's to defend, sending DT's to their deaths (4 in one scan?)... MKP is definitely the better player (I'd naturally say that against most people .)
Why do people don't like cheese and proxy stuff? Dont you think it keeps the game interesting? It helps to produce some early aggression which a lot of peopel complain about is missing in SC2. And even in BW there were cheese - and they kill people, too! Or are they just whiny because their favourite player got killed? Imagine every game being a nexus/cc first PvT with nothing happening for the first 20 minutes. Do you really want this to happen?

I think cheese is so exciting.
I don't understand why there's this conception that ONLY MACRO CAN EVER BE A SIGN OF SKILL.

Most of the time its that. And then there are people who cry about players who cheese 100% of the time which is usually not true so yeah 95% of the whining is just stupid.

And that's why we like to do it anyway Also MKP cheeses way to much, see doing it again.

I think watching some cheese in between macro games is exciting but sometimes its too much so it becomes annoying.
Also I think most people hate losing to cheese and playing a macro game does take a lot more skill than cannon rushing for example but its nice that you never what they're going to do early game when watching, better than FE all day every day imo.

My favorite kind of games involve one player cheesing and the other holding it off excellently. But somehow or someway, it balances out such that both players are on equal footing towards the end.
Cheese is excitely cuz its one of the best times to see amazing micro.
