Just IPL has as far as I know. And that's for a much larger championship event. Not really comparable.
Edit: I don't even know if IPL paid for the travel, actually.

Only IPL4 (coincided with GSTL finals) competes with MLG for foreign concentration of high-level Korean talent. | ||

Its not about capitalism but MLG policy, which sucks by the way. A greedy company considering the amount of money they get and still only pays 10k for the winner, which is pretty low if we`re talking about other big tournaments that dont even charge you do realise MLG flew in 32 players to this event, free of charge, and then 12 of these palyers will get flown out, for free, to the MLG finals. they are pumping more money into their tournament than anyone else, 32 flights? thats got to be at least 32k, wouldnt be suprrised if it was upwards of 64k. This type of argument has flaws, and even considering that, why would MLG pay for their trips? Im pretty sure high profile players have good teams that can pay for their fly, hotel and stuff like that. You`re giving too much credit for MLG lol No they cant, mostly EU and KR teams wouldnt be able to send these players - thats why they dont attend MLG open brackets that much. Also, it has been said numerous times - players and teams prefer paid trips and accomodation over bigger prize pool. | ||

Ret had to play two ZvZs after his ZvP win :| Great for Tefel though, showing that he's one of Europe's excellent up and coming players. | ||

I definitely saw some really bad decision-making on Shakuras against a Terran last MLG (I think?), where he moved his whole sentry-heavy army single file past an MM ball, right outside the Terran's natural. But on the whole, he steadily eats up the ground between him and the other pros. | ||

Iron Squid had online fights, then the semi-finals would happen to an OFFLINE event, that is not even 0,1% related to koreans paying their trips or not. Please, dont talk stupidity. IEM pays for their trips aswell, or gives them an amount of money which is more enough to pay, even though if u finish the last place. | ||

I've been so impressed with him recently, but he's just been playing poorly at both of the arenas he's attended. | ||
